What did you do to your G-Body today? [2019]

[Injectedcutty]

I tap mine into the dome harness where it runs up the A pillar

Does that allow the map lights to still work when the doors are closed via the buttons on the lights?

I got a can of burgundy SEM Color Coat to touch up the top of the back seat in my Regal. I sprayed a test piece and the color is a pretty close match, maybe a smidge on the light side, but pretty damn close.

Wire it in to constant. The map lights don't normally come on with the door unless it's a convertible.

I think these lights have extra wiring IIRC which allows you to tap in to the courtesy light circuit while retaining the ability to switch it on and off with a separate constant wire.

Yeah, the plug on the mirror has 5 wires coming from it. From a quick search it looks like it's tied to the courtesy lights. I found another Impala that was a base model. The harness on that mirror only had 2 wires being orange and black. I snipped that harness too that way I have choices.

I have a mirror with map lights I picked up in the late '90's. Put it in with the lights working with the doors & independently, Came out of a '91 up Caprice.

Switched out my shift knob to the small eight ball 🎱 I picked up from moon eyes, along with swapping out my broken driver side vent switch, and passsenger side window switch. All I need now is to fix the lock switch and all the switches on the passenger door. Also shoutouts to L.A.X-RATED for the excellent packaging and shipping of my replacement window vent. Can’t wait to get rid of the thrash bag and not look so janky anymore 🤗

While scouring the junkyard I came across a 2003 Impala that had a decent looking map light mirror. After further searching, I removed a nice one and have it mounted temporarily in the Cutlass. It looks right, just need to determine how to wire it in...thinking of tying it into the dome light harness. View attachment 104683View attachment 104684

That's a great idea! I usually walk by that section in the yard with a " nothing to see here" attitude but that would be a sweet upgrade to a T-top car.

with my rotating assembly out for balance i got the block back last nite to strip the paint and do some pre-assembly surfacing.

Started doing a little port, pocket and chamber work on my heads.
