Installed new brakes on all 4 corners. New everything. Drums need adjusting. They're getting fluid and working, just not much. Hope it will improve pedal feel as well. it's there, but you can tell it's not all there.

TURNA thats where I’m at after numerous times of fitting it on the car and going back to the dremel. I also got mine from gbodyparts but purchased mine long ago while I was piling up parts so I haven’t bothered to reach out. Even paid the extra for it to be painted but it’s starting to chip in spots from the constant on/off.

Reach out to them!!!!

The only way they are going to know something is wrong with them is if you tell them.

First thing I told them is that I bought the part a year ago at the Cecil County Buick Show.

Originally I picked it up for a Monte I had but now using it in the Cutlass.

I got a gauge pod from there as well and it fits like crap. I'm going to go Dakota Digital at some point, so I'm just going to leave it there.

I got two gallons of Metal Rescue and decided to try it out on my seat tracks, even though I've made up my mind that at some point in owning this car, I'm getting GTO seats. As for now though, the Metal Rescue worked great and removed the rust.

Got my dash put together, and everything seems to work well. Even adjusted the gear indicator so it is not between the gears.

Without looking at it I'm not sure but I don't see why not. You could fasten a 'bumper' to the pedal to make up the distance between it and the switch. Just make sure it is a solid solution. You don't want to run around thinking the brake lights are working fine and they are on all the time.
so right now the bumper i came up with is a zip tie but thats not the best solution but it does seem to work for the time being.

I got my alternator resistor wired in my Bonneville, and decided to drive it to work today. While putting gas in it, the upper radiator hose popped off of the radiator fitting and gave the engine bay a green bath. (The hose that was on there was a little shorter than I wanted, and the pressure and the side pull finally worked the hose loose.) I reattached it, added a little coolant to get be back on the road again, and went to Autozone since nothing else is open today. They didn't have any longer ribbed hoses than the one that I had, and I couldn't find any pre-molded ones that would clear my AC compressor or the serpentine belt. I guess I will be ordering a new one on Rockauto this evening.
