    Where to find the foam hood pad material

    I saw a GN that had this and the person who made it no longer does. So I wanted to find where he was getting the padding and make my own. It looked so much better in my opinion. It was moldable 1/2" dense foam that would be spray glued on and would form around the hood shape. I would also...

    Having a problem keeping 13+ volts after LED dash install

    Guys, I need help fast. I'm moving and need my car running soon. I installed a custom LED gauge setup recently and everything has been fine until now. The car was running at 13.5v consistently and now it'd down to 9-11.4v when on. When off with the key on, it's 11.9-12v. I just pulled into...

    Made my own digital gauge cluster (GNX style, sorta)

    I always wanted the GNX gauge cluster, but was always so expensive and the only times I saw one for sale was when I couldn't buy anything. So after modernizing the Buick during it's restore I thought to just make my own but with LED gauges instead. I looked at Dakota Digital but didn't like...

    Will this inner wheel/hub diameter fit the Buick?

    I don't have my Buick in my garage right now, but the wheels came in today and the hub dia. on them is 2.5", but on my Syclone (should be the same as the Buick right?) is 3". Will these fit, or am I screwed? I thought I did my homework on fitting these, but I guess I missed this part...
