I inspected the car at the auction. Every panel has paint damage. Absolutely terrible for a 42 mile car. Didn't even clean the windows. Scratches like you wouldn't believe! It was hard to look at. I was hired to inspect the car. My customer passed on it. It's not stuff that will buff...
I saw the car today in good natural light and yesterday under house lights. The roof is crazed and the rt qtr has had work. Wonder what the buyer will think?
There is now a breakdown of colors on syty.net Pretty interesting production info. It's a main topic of "conversation" right now so you will most likely find the thread on the first page.
CTS-V's do not have the work supercharged anywhere on the car. None of the 09+ V's are N/A. My 2012 V sedan with an auto runs 12.0 at 120 with stock tires on a very well prepped track (and you still need to nurse it in 1st gear). It's guys like you that made me mod the thing to 630 h.p. but...
The GN WE2 was an option on a Regal model. The title decodes models and not options. Some people fill out their reg. app. and write in GN under the model and the clerk just types it in the same. That was years ago. DMV has upgraded and their system can decode VIN's and it should default...
As Mearly65 posted (I agree with him 100% btw) the actual condition of the rubber molding is the most important factor in this job. Nice soft plyable moldings are the best. If you have a steady hand and patience, you can lift the paint off with a razor blade. Need to sneak it under an edge...
It would be helpful to know what type of paint was previously used. Different paints ie: enamel, urethane, lacquer ect can have different chemicals that would remove them. I would use the least caustic that would actually remove the paint. The older the molding around the glass, the less...

You can cruise around their site. Expensive, but high quality and extremely accurate. I get 6 readings out of 3 gauges (lol - I can do math). SyTy's have no tolerance for anything wrong in a tune. They like to blow up...
How about one of the dual readout digital gauges. Put the sender on the rail and wire it back to the gauge in the car. Mount it on an "A" pillar pod. Can get a FP and Boost gauge. It's nice to watch the fp rise for every lb of boost. You get used to it fairly easily and it becomes habit to...
Al's car looked great even though the lighting in that area was not the greatest (your camera did very will btw). Post up your pic of the vespa. Lots of WOW factor there. That blue mopar on the other side of Al won best late muscle. Have any pics of that white 70 1/2 Trans Am. That was MY...
The fastest way to sell a car is to sell it cheap. Some people need money quick. That changes the market. Asking price does not set market value, the actual selling price does. I don't see a trend in the other g's going up with us (even though I own an 87 SS) going down. Simply based on...
Within minutes after shutting off, 95% of the oil is in the pan and the level is below the pan rail gasket. If you lost 2qts, the first thing to look at is the drain plug and gasket.
All 92's had the cladding a silver/gray with the exception of some of the black trucks. You could get black on black and even then the cladding was not the exact same as the body color. Less gloss. So your truck should be green/gray. The area surrounding the headlamps within the grille should be...
Pull the wires one by one and test them with an OHM meter. There is a spec on what range they should be in. If you can't find the range, compare them to each other. This is step one. Your test results will determine where you go next.
