What's the tallest tire that will fit a Cutlass without jacking the body height up? I've typically stayed around the stock 26" tall tire sizes. Right now my tires are 25.7" and wondering if a 27"-28" tire would fit in the rear? What height would work in the front? Thanks,

Need some ideas. I have a 12" sub and three amps. My plan has always been to hide the sub box behind the rear seat and put the amps on a board in front of that but would like to see what others have done. I'll be finishing the rest of the trunk with carpet but was thinking of adding some burl...

Has anyone ever had one of these go bad? Mine is brand new, looks like this: Was pulling my car onto a trailer today and the pedal went to the floor. Rolled back down off the trailer with no brakes which was a scary moment. Saw where the fluid was dripping from and new right a way that it...

Is there anyway to check a door chime without installing it in a dash? I found another chime module for my 87 and would like to test that it works before reinstalling the dash in the car. Thanks,

Top down and ready to cruise: :D Happy 4th!

Anyone try using vinyl top rear 1/4 glass on a hard top car? I was sanding down the chrome accent piece around the 1/4 glass so that a friend of mine can spray it black to match the rest of the car. I set the window in place just to see how it would look and wow does it look hideous! Keep in...

I've been refurbishing my window weatherstripping channels by painting them and gluing new foam to the backsides. Before I install them do they get any weatherstripping adhesive between the body and the channels or do they get installed dry? Thanks,

Just bought a 9pc trunk carpet kit made by REM. Unfortunately it didn't come with any instructions. Each of the pieces is labeled as to where it should go but I'm a bit confused on how the wheel well pieces are supposed to be placed. Does anyone have any pictures of just the wheel well covers...

Anyone have any photos on how the front and rear headliner clips are installed? I didn't pull my original's out so I didn't get to see how they were in there originally. :( These are what I am using: http://www.mikesmontes.com/Front-and-Re ... _1163.html Thanks,

Called Safelite to get a quote for installing a new front windshield and back glass on my '87. After a few days going back and forth they couldn't locate the back glass. Turns out it's discontinued and none of their suppliers make it. They tried calling dealerships with no luck either. So...

So I need to start looking into insurance for the '87. Will probably go with Hagerty through my current Nationwide agent but was curious for those of you who have bought this type of insurance, how did you go about determining the agreed upon value? Is it just a simple matter of figuring up what...

Anyone know of a place that sells just a cap for the gauge surround for a Cutlass? Everything I find online has both the full dash cover and the surround. My dash is in great shape so I really don't need both. Thanks,

Okay, I'm sure this has come up before but I could only find a few threads on it. I have my doors shaved and my solenoids installed. That part is working fine. My question is with the door poppers themselves. What is everyone using? Brand and placement? I have a pair of poppers from Dakota...

Anyone have any pictures of custom made inner fender panels/wheel wells that you've made or used? I'd like to make something for my car purely to hide all of the "stuff" that's needed for the EFI, cruise control, ignition, etc. that is mounted on my plastic wheel wells and would like some...

Anyone know what size the stamped sheet metal nuts are that hold the rear bumper cover to the body on an Olds? I believe they call them a self threading nut and they look like this: I measured the studs that these thread onto and they were around 6mm. The place I'm looking to buy them from...

Been working on this off an on for the past few months. Managed to make more headway lately and basically have the machine ready for the electronics. Working on applying a few coats of stain and polyurethane to keep the MDF from staining and making it easy to clean.

Stopped by Hobby Lobby to pick up some Christmas decorations and happened across an aisle with automotive pictures and signs. Low and behold there was this: Half price for $15.00. :)

Anyone know if the mount plates are the same between a G-body and B-body? Going by the diagrams online they look identical but can't tell if the bolt spacing is different. The G-body part is discontinued of course but I found that they still list them for a 1990 Caprice. I have a set that I...

Took a break from working on the car for the past few weeks to get some project around the house taken care of. One of which was to revamp my entertainment wall. I just bought a 60" Sharp LED TV a few weeks ago and really didn't like any of the TV stands out there on the market. For one, none...

So I typically always buy a battery that has both top post and side post terminals. Question, can you hook up to both terminals at the same time? For instance, I have my 1/0 gauge power wire, 4ga stereo amp wire and 8ga electric fan wire coming off the top post of the battery. I am running a 4...
