    Blinker engagement

    I just replaced my turn signal switch with a new one. I guess the new switch is a little stiffer than the old one. The problem is the metal arm that links the turn signal switch with the blinker stalk. The metal arm pops off the stalk lever assembly before it turns the signal switch. I bent...

    Rocker Panel Replacement

    Maybe this will help somebody out. I used a mig welder, wire wheel, cutting wheel and a metal flanger/hole punch. Much to my amazement, I found out the perforated passenger side rocker panel wasn't standard equipment from the factory. I ordered a replacement panel from gbodyparts.com...

    Valley View, TX car show 7-31-10

    A co-worker told me about a car show in Valley View yesterday so I packed up the kids and X-wife in the GN and drove 10 minutes to the car show. I didn't put my GN in the show because I don't feel it's worthy. I should have because my paint is slightly better than this: We don't need no...

    Anybody have a pic of stock rims painted all black on a GN? Mine are in bad shape with some surface rust and can't seem to shine them up worth a damn and don't want to spend the money on rims right now. I've got other stuff I have to sink money into. I wanted to see if anybody had done it...

    Advice on air compressor/air tools

    I've got to rebuild my front end suspension - ball joints, bushings etc. and replace the springs. I might as well buy the air tools and air compressor and do it myself since I'd probably paying about the same amount in labor to have it done. However, now I'd own an air compressor and cool tool...
