Hi guys, There is this old salvage yard near London, Ontario that I have driven by many times. Lately, I've seen that some of the old cars are being dragged up to the front, near the road and have been for sale for parts. So, I called and asked to tour the yard for 60's Pontiacs. There were lots of old cars, bu...

Hey there, i'm cleaning the roof here. Removed the rear window I can't see any manufacturer designed drain holes around the window, only the holes made by rust:) Is that normal or water should go down somehow to avoid accumulating moisture in cavities?

Has anyone found a product that we can buy which duplicates that nasty thick bumpy tough undercoating that came on our mid 60's cars on the underside of the floor and the rear wheel wells?

Has anyone installed any kind of electric power trunk release in a 66 full size? Originally they were vacuum but those are next to impossible to find (or not affordable when they are for sale) so I'd like to see if I can find an electric option.

As with my other thread about power locks, I also plan to install power vent windows in my 66 Grande Parisienne that I bought from Ken this year. I got the motor/gearbox assemblies from a member here from Oakville Ontario. Many of you know him. He owns a 65 Laurentian 2 door post recently purchased from...

So, the emblem on my 2+2 had the studs removed and was attached with emblem tape. I removed both of them and polished and painted them. Now I need to attach them in the correct position (previously, they were just centered in the fender). If somebody could give me the "A" and "B" measurements, I would app...

Bit of a long shot but worth a try I am having trouble with my wiper motor not returning to home lock up and stop working. From what I have been able to find the potential issue may be this magnetic relay internal to the wiper motor. Near as I can tell the part number is 4919641 Delco part #. I can find these on...

Hey there, I'm looking for advice how to take off the antenna. I hope it's not necessary to take the whole fender off:) Also on that note - has anyone found a decent radio replacement with modern features but native look? Thanks in advance.

I learned something new yesterday while stripping my 66 Custom Sport parts car. Good old GM. I've always said when working our 60's Canadian Pontiacs, Beaumonts and Acadians, no car manufacturer ever did a better job with making the same parts fit multiple models. Even though I've been doing this o...

My recent purchase to part out has an undamaged tinted windshield other than it has some wiper scratches. Has anyone ever tried the kits to polish out the scratches? I'm curious to try one but I don't want to bother wasting $35 if they don't work.

Hey there, I recently purchased a couple of 1965 turn lights on ebay (from American Pontiacs though) and it feels like they don't fit like a glove. Am I missing some brackets which lower the light in this bumper gap? Or American bumper or light is more narrow? The socket also looks different, but I assum...

My 66 Biscayne, the drivers side wiper will ride over the stainless trim at the bottom of the windshield when activated. The right side is fine at the bottom and outside of the sweep. The Assm manual shows the criteria for placement. I have done this. The arms are splined to fit on the linkage with a "loca...

How's this look? I grabbed it earlier this week, as well as nice drivers & passenger side inner fenders. I wonder is this came from the car that donated the gold door to the 454 Laurentian many years ago. And yes, I got the louvers & 350V emblems as well.

I cannot seem to get the back drivers corner of the hood to sit down. The hinge is as low as it can go on the 3 bolts. I had the springs off the hinges last year, and they are not worn at the pivot pins. Am I working in the wrong direction? What is this voodoo?
