    seat foam

    That new crap they sell for the seat foam is a real joke.It is nothing like the bottom is suppose to be.The seat back on the frt bench are fine but that is where it ends.When yours is rotted and all you have is this junk hard to deal with.Looks like the vendors could get the correct stuff from China.or don't sell it to you.Had to vent this after wrestling with back cushion first.I guess you need to take it to an upholstery shop and let them do it but I like to do it yourself if I can.Will attack the frt seat today.Thanks for hearing my rant.Just ask if anyone has bought this stuff Thanks
  2. Thanks I"ll take the inner fender back out.Nothing is easy nowdays
  3. Do you have to install the piece of chrome on the bottom of frt fender before you put fender on.And to make sure it lines up with door you have to slip it a little and try to tighten it.Is that the way you do it.Thanks
  4. Do you need them with steel inner fender aprons
  5. My new repop trim is a little longer that the org.as it hits the body mldgs so I"ll tackle that next but just laying it up it touches both mldgs on 1/4 panel.Overseas junk and the door trim was warpped and twisted but I think it will go on ok
  6. Yes but mine has 1 plug holder instead of the 3 wire one.But that is the relay on the right that I'm trying to figure out.My just leave it disconnected since I went with a TPI unit on mine.Thanks I see my PM flashing not good with computer no kids
  7. I haven't looked but do really thank you if you can see where it goes the Chevelle wiring diagram just gives 1 relay under dash
  8. On my 71 it has factory air and there are 2 relays under dash pad above radio on a brace ,one relay has a orange wire with a pigtail on it where does that wire go.That is the only wire I can't remember where it goes.The other relay goes out the firewall and the one with the wire I'm looking for goes out to except that orange wire.Thanks for help that will finish up my dash wiring and I can put the pad back on.The wiring diagram I have only shows 1 relay but it is for a Chevelle that I bought from Ausley's and doesn't show 2 relays Thanks Again
  9. I used a the stuff from Classic and the help was fine.Changed over to 134a and they got the correct condenser for 134 instead of r12.Nice people to deal with
  10. These guards stay off the bumper about 1/4 inch just touch at the tip of the guards not in the middle.Have the org bumper and it lays perfect.guess I'll send it to another plater next week tired of waiting on an answer from vendor
  11. Waiting to hear from the supplier to what to do with this rear bumper.Had it past the return date.But checked it when i got it for dings and stuff but didn't think to check guard fit.Well maybe my error but sometimes you don't get to things fast enough to install so time get by
  12. The bumper I got the whole rear guard sits up a 1/4" from the bumper.The tip and bottom of guard is the only thing that touch.May have to send org bumper to somebody else to replate.The shop that did the frt said they could not get it smooth enough to plate where they tried to fix rusted hole below the bumper bolt on pass side
  13. Has anyone put factory bumper guards on repo bumpers Thanks
  14. I painted mine the same argent silver as wheels.Already painted the panel still have to finish blasting wheels.To darn cold to do anything now
  15. Looks like the header mfg would give a little more room at the plugs because they have a ton of room in these cars.The bend at the plugs need to be a little longer to get boot on and a socket.look easy on the bench but not in car with a/c and all the other junk
  16. I have one on the guns and I use only one gun for each like 1 for primer,1 for color and 1 for clear.Never mix them up.Just something I'm missing and hope to find it soon to finish this one only to start on the 35 Chevy I bought last year.
  17. I seen that about deodorant on TV one day in the Corvette place in KY that they did a test spray sample before you entered the paint area for fisheye.But I had this trouble before it got cold and have not turned heater on before I sprayed the last time.I'm going to try to hang the hood vertical and see if spraying it flat is my problem.As I don't see fisheye till I really come back in shop after 30 minutes or so after clear coats.But I will wipe down and sand it again and go at it for the 4th time.Thanks Also going to change the air hose again
  18. Had the same problem with fish eye again on hood and trunk 3rd time spraying them.Stopped by new paint dealer yesterday and told him my problem and he asked if I had a heater in shop powered by K1 or diesel fuel I told him diesel is in my cigar heater and he said I was getting the fish eye from the vapors off it even if it is not running.Is that true or what Thanks about to drive me crazy
  19. Go with Ausley's and go pick it up
  20. $300 for all 4 ,$75 a guard.Have not got any of it back yet.Called Fri and he said call back MOn to take to is daughter as she knows about the time line
  21. Jared sometimes they charge different prices on same thing.Depends on how they feel I guess.My guards will be $300
  22. Mine is suppose to be back from the platers this month along with frt bumper.Had a same ding in grill they will fix.It is a place called Southern Bumper close to Atl Airport.Hope that they turn out.Need to call them as I took them on Oct 9th.Had the little pieces on straps redone also.Grill is $350 to replate.Their # is 404-761-5477
  23. Find the spot welds down and grind then or drill out.I ground mine down and rewelded it in
  24. You can put them on with rivets or do I did and machine some and weld from back side before putting the panel below rear window and 1/4 panel on.A lot of work but didn't have anything else to do at the time
