Added still more tacks to the lower door sill flange and closed up a couple of the cuts. Persuaded Cousin Dremel to dress it all down as well as split the leading edge at the front flange to get it to relax so i can reshape it.

Found the in/out adjustment for the window and fiddled with it. now i can shut my door like a normal person and not have the window hit that ****ing clip.
Also the reason for me taking off the door panels. the regulator spring snapped. window still works, so ill just ignore it until i get new door panels.

Also over the weekend I took 2* out at idle b cause I'm too lazy to mess with the curve or back advance. It would ping at WOT on the highway only. My engine is 9.2ish:1 and I had 42 total, 12 initial, 22 mech. adv in by 2700 and 8 deg of vacuum advance on ported. Now it's 10 initial.

I also cleaned it. It's a shame the car is like 5 different colors, all sprayed badly. And some areas have clear and some don't. And covered in hail and teenager dents. And has bindi falling off from an ancient "repair".

Finished installing the digi tails brake lights in my cutlass over the weekend after waiting for the new style boards for the cutlass light housing with the groove through the centre

Just curious
Is there any form of sequential front signal lights to match?
For the small bumper lights
Or would that be a design your own type deal
😂

I am using a chinese special for the fronts on my blazer, they are similar to what I put in my Monte. You would have to come up with your own bracket to make it work

141 and sub 10 equal you get to be harassed by the tekkies at inspection about your cage qualification. Anything faster than 10 usually, means the ride has to receive a different spec cage than the slowers.

Where was that picture taken? That Skytrak is either rented from my employer or bought from them.
