    Dome light metal tabs?

    I bought a dome light bulb that was a tiny bit short. I attempted to bend the tabs in a little, and one just snapped right the hell off. I'm not sure if this will be a normal common GM part, or I'm totally screwed. Anyone?

    TKO swap thread

    I'm about to change out my ol' 4 speed for a TKO500. I've only seen a few other malibu's on here with this swap, and only one other build thread, which is MEAT DRAPES, and his is 41 pages long. Way too much BS for anyone to follow. Plan - Remove old 4 speed. Install TKO500, cut new hole in...

    Headliner repair?

    Well, It looks like I wont be able to find a decent headliner somewhere close, so I'm going to attempt to repair this.

    Any LSx guys with mechanical clutch inkage?

    Ive been toying with the idea of an LSx motor later on. The selection for headers that clear the linkage on a GEN 1 SBC are slim pickin's The selection for headers to fit on a g-body with an LSx seem minimal also. Im sure there must be extremely limited, if any options for a manual transmission and...

    Difference in drop spindle, and drop springs

    I know very little about suspension, especially the front. Whats the difference in a 2inch drop spindle, and 2 inch drop springs. I assume the spindle would keep a factory ride quality, and allow longer spring travel? Thanks guys, just looking to go a little lower
