The Fisher Body manual mentions using either a "medium-bodied sealer or body caulking compound .... to provide either a watertight seal or for anti-rattle measures". What 'off the shelf' sealer has anyone used with lasting results? I have Weatherstrip adhesive, but i dont' think it's the same thing.

In another forum thread (http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/...m-removed.html) a process was outlined by Doug69Cutlass where glass setting tape is installed on the edge of the glass and then the trim channel is pressed over it. Anyone else use this with success? And if so, what thickness of tape was applied? Thanks in advance. ]]> stlbluesbrother http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/18123-glass-setting-tape-re-attach-molding-quarter-window.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17914-where-buy.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:40:17 GMT sooooooooooo my car needs a LH quarter skin,outer wheelhouse,trunk drop. i need suggestions about where to buy these parts? ive checked with my local... sooooooooooo my car needs a LH quarter skin,outer wheelhouse,trunk drop. i need suggestions about where to buy these parts? ive checked with my local classic car parts place, and didnt care for his attitude cause my car isnt a camaro or a chevelle...his prices werent all that great either.who has the best parts? parts are for a 71 cutlass "S"

Does anyone have any experience with an aftermarket convertible trunk or decklid filler panel (panel between rear window and the trunk lid)? Only one vendor has a reproduction part listed for the convertible and I've had a bad experience with them. It is also scary when one person carries the item and nobody else has it. Can a Chevelle panel be used, can a Supreme Coupe panel be modified, or try to find one out of a donor car??? Any suggestion or experience would be greatly appreciated! ]]> LIMEGREEN71 http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17912-71-convertible-trunk-filler-panel.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17734-lansing-vin-rivets.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:16:35 GMT I have been searching this site and others for days now and am wondering if Lansing was consistent with how they attached the VIN rivets.

On one of the Chevy forums they noted that some cars had the rivets inserted from below others from the top. Most cars that I have seen the rivets have had the rosettes facing up, my dash is completely apart and the rosettes can be seen from underneath. My rivets are original style and have a bit of black over spray but look original. I checked my 1970 assembly manual and sure enough it shows that the rivets are indeed installed from below. What is the consensus out there for rivet installation. ]]> stevengerard http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17734-lansing-vin-rivets.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17713-bolting-dual-gate-trans-tunnel.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:48:04 GMT I'm converting a factory column shift car to a Dual Gate with a console. Did the factory floor shifter, either Dual Gate or regular, bolt to the floor with a large sheet metal fastener, or was it a bolt with a nut welded in the underside of the transmission tunnel. Thank you so much for any experience with this! ]]> LIMEGREEN71 http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17713-bolting-dual-gate-trans-tunnel.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17585-paint-upstate-ny.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:51:13 GMT I've been looking for a few months & posted on a few other Olds sites.

It was off a link to a post by "SCUBASTEVER" a little while back.
I was thinking it would be a good idea for me to find some, put orange globes behind them and get them set up as indicators. Same with the front lights, ie get them set up as stand-alone indicators.
We've had orange indicators since the 50s and I always worry when I've got someone on my tail and I'm slowing and turning in an American car. People are just not used to seeing a tail light flashing on and off.
Does anyone know where I can get a pair? ]]> Col Wickham http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/body-paint/17470-clear-67-cutlass-tail-light-lenses.html
