What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2020]

Sure it's the windshield and not possibly the heater core?? If not the heater core then I would suggest somewhere along the upper edge where the roof skin is spot welded to the window frame or cross rib. You may end up having to cut the windshield out, clean that whole upper seam/pocket out to bare metal, look for rust or pinholes, mig/repair the damage and put it all back together. Lost the windshield on the G-10 to a combination of stone hit and subsequent crosss-country wide crack and when I had the old window pulled, it was rust and holes that appeared. Had to do some serious rehab to rebuild the surface to be watertight again before a new windshield could be laid in. The techs used a two-part urethane adhesive-sealer than seems to be doing the job..

Just finished throwing the color shot at the 700R4 ATF oil pan. It is now a glorious? shade of custom mixed GM engine blue. Prior to the money shot, the pan got a serious wire brushing and surface cleaning before I shot a heavy subsurface layer of primer sealer on it. The case itself is going to remain a dull shade of well weathered aluminum grey, apart from getting a good scrubbing with a wire brush and varsol and maybe a bit of air-drill love using a wire wheel. Not seeking to return it to a pristine clean here; that would take complete disassembly and sending the case out to visit the hot tank, just a general knocking off of most of the major crud and build up from the surfaces to make it easier to work with. Have already taken files and the dremel and deburred the exterior of the case of most of the casting flash that got ignored or left behind when the case was poured at the foundry. This is not so much for the pretty aspect as it is a safety measure to keep me from slashing the skin off my hands when wrestling the brute into position. As always, if the opportunity and my memory synchronize themselves then I may fire off a few pictures.

They were to the Dukes what Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope were to The Man Show.

Started having some of the speakers cut out at random in the daily, threw a new(ish) amplifier at my mids since I’ve had problems with it cutting out before and the radio attempted to summon a demon. After 2 days of muddling over it, it turned out to be the radio or at least the radio’s RCA outputs.

So I threw another junkyard radio at it

Here’s to another 5 years of sloppiness, now with Bluetooth!

my Son and I are wanting to import JDM/European cars into the US. We can't get anything we are looking at into the US newer than about '96. We are looking at going to other countries for vacation, buying a car and driving it around the country for a few weeks, then shipping it home.

Where are you that you can have 2012 JDM stuff?

In Michigan,there are online dealers and a friend of mine buys them from these online dealers.Much cheaper to buy than the UTVs and side by sides

Went a little crazy with lights on Cyber Monday, got headlights and a ton of LED's for the Blazer and a couple replacements for the GTO. Very interested to see how I get this to work on the Blazer
