  1. SEM Landau Black is the way to go. It even helps seal in sticky horn pads.
  2. On my car it used the same screws front and back, but the rear markers used nylon nuts similar to the tail light bezels. I believe they were a different size than anything that I had from the front or rear light hardware kits, I can see if I still have the package this weekend. I just measured the holes and did some measuring at Napa until I found the right one.
  3. I think that I met him at a show in MN and that he isn't a member. On the username, that's a good question. I wanted an email address or username for something when I was ten and I think I chose it for the band, but it was 25 years ago so I don't quite remember. Once in a while I still get lucky enough to use the name without having to add numbers or letters when joining a site.
  4. I never liked how far the tail light housing stuck out from the factory quarter panel, so I popped the spot welds yesterday, got it wedged out, and welded it back together. Next is to finish the hood and other body work and hope to get it in paint before summer. Of course no photos, I'm terrible at that.
  5. This is the best deal for Bilstein that I've found: https://www.jegs.com/i/BMR-Suspension/142/BSN-A-68-72/10002/-1
  6. I had to rearrange my magnet collection after yesterday's RockAuto delivery.
  7. Another solution would be to run a new power source from the horn relay or starter and trigger a few relays using the ignition spade.
  8. If those are for a Chevelle the clips don't line up like the stock seal.
  9. The outer is being made: https://metrommp.com/rear_vertical_quarter_window_sealouter_7072_monte_carlo_cutlass_supreme_alp_5002q/ The inner is not currently being reproduced, but I'm working on getting Metro to make them.
  10. The kick panel speakers need to have a depth of less than 1-5/8" to not space the driver's side out or clearance the support behind it. My speakers have a 1-13/16" depth and I had to take a dead blow hammer to get the speaker to not hit in the back. I really recommend component speakers to put the tweeter up high, then you'll get the high notes up high and the midbass will be lower where it doesn't matter as much.
  11. Summit and Jegs are both great on the customer service side, and one sometimes has parts that the other doesn't. I went through a few cowl induction hoods before getting one that was salvageable (horrible packaging for something so large and heavy), and I can only imagine how much Jegs paid shipping them back and forth.
  12. Check the bolt on the firewall and see if it has a shim between the fender and firewall. I don't have the assembly manual in front of me but I think the gap between the fender and rocker should be around 1/8", what is yours at? Is the gap even from top to bottom or is one more than the other?
  13. Tubular control arms can have a few advantages, but the cheap models typically only have the first: Weight reduction compared to stock stamped arms. Shorter length for tall spindles or tall ball joints. Increased positive caster for a more modern alignment and performance.
  14. I'll check this weekend, but your bushings look like they're cranked down in comparison to what I remember mine looking like. They only require about 40 lb-ft.
  15. They sell a variety of brackets to mount the valve. I'm not endorsing this site and have never used them, just giving an example. https://eastcoastchevelle.com/productview.php?cat=Brakes&id=1147102345&sectionPID=1
