Young grasshopper you need to have Doc & Marty to stop by with the Delorean & take a few trips back to the late '80's & early '90's to see them in their prime. Things that were done to & with them were something.

It'll only be with '81-'88 Cutlass coupes (A47 '81, G47 '82-'88).

My time in Tikrit I saw several of them with the taxi orange fenders & quarters. Most of those were still in tazi service it seemed. Was one of the cars I never got a chance to search at check points as those seemed to skirt around us. But there was also several coupes floating around town &...

My buddy suggested to keep the new plate in the car as a just in case. I would of liked it if Penndot would include the '77 to '99 issue plates with the program that allows one to reactive a year/period correct plate as an antique registration then I would run with the yellow plate with the...

I looked them over & all is good & dry. The bad is the car was babied for most of its life brfore '08. From '09 till I bought it things weren't as good. It's not off the table for a complete hard line replacement. The hoses are looking to be done when we start the brake work.

That is the wire for the brake proportioning valve but the retaining ring is missing. It should still hold on to the valve terminal.

We had a father/son repair completed with Jr. learning how to replace the heater control valve. Told him it would of been easier if it was in line unlike his being on the intake. Made sure he knew what tools was needed along with thread sealer & the correct antifreeze. Had him make sure...

I used PPG lacquer DDL 9423 on the rad support & a few other parts. My '78 chip pages for Chevy & Pontiac list this used as a exterior accent color but was only in ready mixed quarts. The DDL lacquer has been discontinued from what I understand. I also have PPG DAR 9424 which is a enamel semi...

I got several older original "dead" plates cause I want something different than the current. I did thought about having a plate made but the wrong cop may over question it if he/she is not happy with the details. With the one I have I don't see an issue using its registration for a...

Well, my review is gone. The newest review is from last year. Maybe it was too detailed for what they want out there. Could they want to review it before final approval to post it dispite it was there last night? They haven't contacted me to question it or try to find out why I posted it. I gave...

I put myself out there & posted a review on OPGI's site. I usally don't do reviews but figured I should. Wish I could of put pictures in it to show the details.

I have quart of PPG DDL black that I have used on my rad support that seems to be close. I'll have to get that number off the can tomorrow after work. Bad thing it's lacquer & I can't remember if PPG has a urethane or enamel formula for it.

Got one in really good shape of Fleabay. It was a later one with the white reflective paint on the numbers & already dead so it's open to be used as a personalized registration. They send the new plate & I'll use the old plate. I have a year correct yellow plate for both cars that has a "C" as...

Told told him I'll try my best to at least get it to the Elderton car show in July but I need to check with Penndot about getting antique plate since it already has an antique title. Hate to have to try to get four good pictures before the body work. I'm willing to pay extra to get a...

I found out tonight I now have to quit putting off the replacing of the heater control valve as while moving the car it bleed out like a stuck pig. Thankfully I just got a set of flair nut crows feet so I at least broke it free for a father & son project tomorrow (weather permitting). Then I'm...
