What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

[Flyers9928]

Reinstalled the gas tank, a new sending unit, and all new rubber lines, plus an oil change. The car moved under its own power today!

I finally wired the memory for my stereo to the positive side of my cut off switch in the Regal so I can finally set stuff without clearing it every time I turn it off.

If you have a clock in the dash, you can do the same for it also.
I don't remember who,but someone posted a pic a few days ago of an old style hi/lo beam switch. I used one of those on an old VW Beetle as a kill/cutoff switch. The only thing on the positive side was the clock.

What I did today, I finished my AC dash conversion. The car drives, I took it to the gas station and filled it up, plan on driving it to work tomorrow.
Now I need to finish the under hood installation of the compressor, condenser, hoses, etc., then get everything flushed clean, and charged.

Replaced the tires on the granny Malibu but before I did that, I did this!!

Thanks, but it's a 125 amp manual cut off switch I mounted under the hood for security and I also added hood locks to the steel hood.
My Regal is an 86' and I think the clocks are all in the stereos for the 1,5 din cars.

Saturday: Got the old ac box out, new ac box in. Drilled a hole in the frame for the body mount using some 3/8-16 all thread threaded in the front two (on the body, under the a pillars) and rear 2 (just behind the bumper) body nuts to roughly line it up. Then I stuck all 4 in all 4 trunk locations and yep, my patches are close enough to work.

Sunday: Ospho'd the rusty spots on the body, painted the body channels where the frame resides.

I installed an Astro steering shaft. Nice simple upgrade and it allowed me to finally clock the wheel in the correct position.
Then I decided I had enough of foam raining on me from the headliner. I pulled the liner out and took a brass brush to it and cleaned it off.

The 2 corners where the sun visors attach were broken on the backing board. What would you guys reccomend to reattach. I was thinking some HVAC tin tape should work, but I am open to less janky suggestions.

You can use foil duct tape in some areas, but I recommend doing the repairs with fiberglass cloth or matting and polyester resin. That's your best bet.
