    Malibu of the Month?

    That Facebook page is garbage. I'm not sure if the younger generation will embrace a structured platform like what we had years ago. A real online community.

    Rear Glass

    Meat Drapes, what's up buddy! Man it's been a long time! I've seen several of these cars that I was able to push the back window out of. I don't know if it's a little surface rust at the adhesive surface that's allowing it to lift, or if body flex is really just that bad. Think of all the Buick...

    Awesome! Hey, if you decide to set a goal for the 2019 Power Tour let me know. I'm going to do at least the first half of the week with a few other friends and their cars. Glad you got it back.

    Re: How To: Landau to standard B-Pillar conversion with pic I'm glad to see this post is still alive! On a side note, my son who was in the pictures helping me is now driving the car more than I do. We just completed a cam swap this past weekend. I've owned the car for 18 years and he's...

    What did U do to your G-body today??

    What did U do to your G-body today??

    Pistonhead, could you share a little info on that seal set up? I have a QP housing in my olds with no seals and you can imagine the mess that it makes as the gear lube makes its way right through the bearings.

    And so it begins........

    I was able to get the engine lowered in and could tell right away using the standard mounts that are not 1" set back that the trans was going to end up too far forward. Installing another empty T5 case confirmed the trans is too far forward. It would be nice if aftermarket companies were...

    And so it begins........

    Yes, the pattern is the same between the two. It "looks" as easy as drilling and running an SAE tap through the holes and cutting the hole deeper for the longer shoulder of the SAE bolt. I really need to talk to a machinist and get their opinion. The size of the metric and SAE bolts/threads are...

    And so it begins........

    I'm not quite sure yet Marc......I need to get some factory f-body flywheel bolts and see if they have a shoulder to help center the gen1 pressure plate. McLeod says not to try this. But they want you to buy there wiz bang high dollar conversion kits with expensive conversion only parts, special...
