I went to the only local shop about re-core of my original radiator...$800. Cold Case at the time was on sale for $350 during the holidays. So, for a half day of labor to make some modifications it was the better play in my case. I would gladly paid $400 and had mine fixed but I could not find...
We did get our Cold Case to work and fit but it took some work for sure and is far from just a drop in/plug and play radiator. You can tell before you even get it in the car it is not the same size as the original. I have an original that I am bringing to BG for $50 if anyone wants it and knows...
It is NOT a direct fit and anyone advertising it as such should be banned! Modifications must be made. There are a number of posts on this subject. We had to trim part of the metal on passenger side to allow space for the lines as well as trimming thickness of rubber pads. This radiator is...
A fellow GN owner messaged me the other night asking for help. He was hopeful I had a GN with T Tops but I do not, mine is a hard top so I cannot show him my car to help him with his.
He recently had his car painted and there was according to him "some rust around the t tops that the body shop...
I believe I purchased on from GBody Parts as well and had no issues installing mine. Look close at yours to be sure the three holes you expected are not there because they did not completely punch out the material that fills the hole.
I have an original out of my 87 bought in 87. My local shop wanted a lot to recore it so we passed on that option. I will be bringing it to BG in May if anyone wants to give me $50 for it.
I used the SEM Trim Black on some touch up of my original GN wheels. I used it on a lot of the trim when we repainted the car, it was the best match and I was pleased with how it has turned out.
I will look on my phone to see if I have any pics. The deal is you just have to get to where it goes in so it can be rotated properly to apply the pressure needed for the actuator to work when the door is opened and closed as it is supposed to work. This is not hard to see once you have access I...
I have replaced these a few times, been a couple of years since the last one. It is more difficult than one might think. If I remember correctly you will need to remove some of the plastic panels from the B pillar area and back toward the rear to gain access to this metal box that is around the...
I use a mix of flat and satin under the car and in the engine bay. I also use a can of Rustoleum in an aluminum color as a contrast and to help make the silver areas look better.
The issue I learned about using a glossy black paint is it makes it very difficult in poorly lit areas to spot any...
Our local shop said $800 to recore our stock radiatore four years ago. I said no to that and bought a Cold Case that was on sale at the time. Been happy with it's performance. Be sure IF you put one in, you need to be certain you keep the heads of the screws in the housing of the stock fan away...
Yes. Some G Body cars like a Monte Carlo have the header support brace all the way across but our GNs and Regals do not have this which allows someone who is careless or not knowledgeable to lean on the unsupported area above the driver or passenger headlights cracking the header support which...
