Wondering. I have a new set of "Repop's" brand glass run channels for a 65-66 B Body 2 door sedans. So I think I'm at least off to a good start. Wondering what I'll need for the sweeps (outside lower edge) and the fuzzies (inside, stapled to the door panel inside top edges) on my 65? Are Chev and Pontiac the s...

Long shot, But if anyone might happen to have anything like these kicking around, or knows where to find some, please let me know. Need 4 for the door trim on my 65. BTW, these ones were salvaged from the Titanic. Universal snap off's would likely work, but nothing will ever work as good as the factory GM c...

Hi... Anyone replaced their side windows on a 66 sedan? They sit in a rubber insulator in the bottom channel that mounts to the regulator. What lubricant do you use to get the bottom of the glass in the rubber? I've tried Windex, soap and water... The seal is friction fit and is GD hard to start!!!! Any...

I have a pair of horns on my 65, and both are now dead. Has anyone here successfully opened and repaired one? If so, how did you get it back together after cutting the rivets? Barring no repair on mine, does anyone have a pair laying around that they might part with? They don't have to be 65. Thanks, Mark

What would the 2 holes from the bottom on the 65 firewall ever be for? I know the top and bottom sets are for the brake pedal support. The bottom two could also be for a booster. The two second from the top for a manual master and a booster. The original pedal support also has 8 holes.

Painting a 1970 Parisienne convertible. Anyone know if you can access the retaining nuts on the inside of the front fender by moving the inner fender. They are the 350È V style emblems and they have retaining nuts for sure!

I figure I'll kind of document the repair as it comes along. Every car probably suffers some form of this. Got the hard sealer out from around the window. Looks like the glass has been out, and an attempt to reseal it was done, evidenced by the sticky sealer. Along with some very poor epoxy repair towards...

I removed all the bolts and nuts, but the grill, although now loose, was still trapped with no way out. Pondered it fo...
