    Chassis Swap what fits ????

    Looks like the part numbers are different lol.. Seriously though, I don't "know" frame differences. I do have the frame dimension books for most years that cover all models. They show the same front dimensions for all of them. I bought these si that I would know. Obviously these books arent correct.

    Chassis Swap what fits ????

    Same bumper reinforcement. Now it "may" use different 5mph absorbers, but I dont think so. These still won't affect the frame though.

    Chassis Swap what fits ????

    I agree, once it is correct. I don't see how the 81 Lemans can be different when they used the same doors and fenders as the earlier years. Not saying it is not different, because I don't know for sure. I tried to get some input with the post below. It would be really helpful to know for sure...

    Non A/C Heater Box What Is Missing

    The glove box is not as deep for a non A/C unit. The front is the same, but the inside liner is not as big.

    Dye paint

    ElkySS, Is this the same color blue as their "Light Blue"? I had to have it custom mixed and put in a spray can. I had to go back for more and the gloss didn't match between batches. I would love to find it already mixed in a spray can. SEM's only has Regal Blue (tto dark) and Wedgewood Blue...

    Clear coating aluminum radiator support

    I thought about clear powder coat, but i would have had to grind down and sand the spot welds and all the other grinding marks. I almost went with an aluminum color, but called back and changed it to semi gloss black.

    Clear coating aluminum radiator support

    Thought I'd follow up on this thread. The guy that does anodizing said that all the steel inserts (~15) would have to be removed from the radiator support. Plus, the aluminum wire used to weld aluminum has to be a special material or it will turn black. They also said it may turn out blotchy...

    Clear coating aluminum radiator support

    Ok, this is what I am going to try. I dropped the support off at the blasters today. Found someone that does anodizing and will drop it off sometime next week. They really can't say how it will turn out since they don't know the make up of the aluminum. Worst case, if it turns out bad, I'll...

    Thanks for the info.... I've located someone in my area that can anodize aluminum. I'll check with them next week. They also plate pot metal, so I can get a second bid on my head light bezels at the same time. :D

    I saw something posted a while back, but can't locate it. I have an aluminum radiator support that I want to finish and install. I have a blaster that uses plastic media. I think this will be ok... I want to clear it somehow, but remember reading that some clearcoats will yellow on aluminum...

    1979 lemans dash

    Between 45 min and an hour and a half............. I forget if 79 is like this, but the 84 (Bonneville) you need to drop the steering column to get 1 bolt with a socket. I've collected 3 in the past month. The 79 will have 2 special 8mm sholder screws on the top side of the dash. I'd keep...
