What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2022]

My local indie hardware store carries "Krazy Glue" on a display card that has a clear plastic bottle with 4 single use micro tubes inside. just enough in on tube for one use, no excess and no throw away. Handy, have one in my downstairs shop.

Yeppers.... We utilize 'single use' tubes @ my work to keep gaskets in place prior to piping/equipment assembly.
I keep 4-5 of them @ my shop for my emergency patch-ups.

Talked to Holley today after waiting like 45 minutes on hold yesterday, he says that I need to run the pink wire that is keyed out to the battery directly while also still running the aluminum foil. If that doesn't work disconnect the alternator, and then the electric fans cause they are still saying RF noise. Even though I had the aluminum foil on and the ground run to the throttle like they had said would take out RF as an option

Got back out to the shop for starters. Found enough 1" square tube that I could assemble a 5 foot long measuring/clamping stick/straight edge with which to determine how badly deformed the lower sill really was. Cut away most of the old shape and used a special dolly that I had made for the last door work to reshape the curve. Measured up from the new curve to my straight edge and found that I had as much as a 1/2 inch of air at the belly of the deformation. So the next trick will be to cut a strip of clean fresh body metal about an inch in width, clamp it to my measuring stick and then scribe it to get a cut line for the amount of material that needs to be grafted in to get everything back in line again. That will be a tomorrow thing to do.

Topped it off with some 93 and ended up behind a root beer drop A body...

Giving Olds Cool the full meal de-tail today for the last big show of the year tomorrow.

Will probably post more pictures from the show tomorrow, but today is all about getting her prettied up again. Hoping to run into ranllett there tomorrow too.

Don't forget the Q-tips for getting into all those tight places like beside the chrome trim and along the seams of the seat covers.

This is in my eyes one of the best looking Cutlass out there. I hope to have my build look this good one day.
