What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

[86LK]

some of you may recall I picked up an elkie at auction a couple months ago. finally got around to cleaning it out today and getting the last tire changed. no longer running "Big Pimpin' " with 22" wheels but back to original 14s

managed to finally get the trash out of the new elky. filled up a contractors trash bag.
on the plus side, I got a small tarp, and Harbor Freight quicklift jack, some small vice grips, and a couple jackstands 😁

Bottom pic looks like you're still waiting on that last stimulus check.

I didn't do much. I made a new set of keys for my 87. They're special. They're the ones that commemorated the 90th anniversary Oldsmobiles for 1987 (I think 1988 got those key fob things and key set, too, but not sure).

The keys are chrome with a gold-colored inlay with the rocket logo and "quality" embossed in it. They're pretty cool if you ask me. I was lucky enough to find a couple of sets someone was selling. These are very hard to come by today, so I was really nervous putting the keys in the key puncher. One fugg up and.... they'd be useless. But- Success!

Here they are with one of the original sets (key cuts blacked out to protect the innocent).

Those are super cool! I would love to find a set. Good call on blocking out cuts. I would have not even thought about it. I get leery posting pics of my car with the plate..but then I realize it's driven on the public roadway and parked and photographed at many shows lol. So gave up blocking it. But keys..that is smart!

So much better. Caps may still be for sale on Gbodyparts. For that price, I'm guessing per cap. These repros will snap onto your S10 rims. Glad you have the trim rings.

Keep in mind, these were typically offered up for the higher end models, like 98s and Toronado, and perhaps others. I'm not 100% sure of when they stopped making these kind of keys. But I've always seen them with C and D key slots. Not saying there's not others, but I just have never seen them. 1983 -1986 Cutlass used A and B. 1982 used J and K.

Yeah, our key cuts aren't hard to decipher. One good clear picture showing the cuts and I can make a key for it.
