Matt,
Fender skirts sent this morning. E-mailed you the tracking number and insurance numbers. Hope they work for you.

I recieved the skirts and as promised in great shape, packaged really well. Thanx. Also how mush for the rear bumper if I can have it picked up?

indianabanana

Glad the skirts got there OK.

Fusick shows a rear bumper for the cutlass at $435.00 times 20% = $87.00.
ThePartsPlace shows $150.00 core charge for a rear bumper.
How does $100.00 sound, you remove and take with you.
Add $20 if you want me to take it off.
Who/how would you have it "picked up"?

Hi Jay,

Let me know the condition of the steering column intermediate shaft and the coupling at the base of the column (essentially everything connecting the actual column to the gearbox). Mine has some play in it and it drives me nuts. The picture I attached should clarify the parts that I'm referring to. Let me know. Thanks! John

I have a tiny bit of up and down play right at the wheel which I don't mind - should I?

76 Regency

hey Jeff, it could be one of the bearings in the column that has some play in it. You may be able to repair or replace them if so. There really shouldn't be any play in the wheel or column. I would go over everything from the wheel down to the gearbox and make sure everything is properfly torqued. My burgundy 98 is the one with the play while the black car's is tight as a drum...no play at all. Which of your cars has the play in it?

jeffreyalman

the wagon has a teensy bit of play right at the wheel, the other 2 are factory fresh

If it's really minor, I wouldn't worry about it but it will probably get a bit worse over time. It's great when you have another car to compare against right?

John,
I really don't know the condition of the steering. Have not driven the car, it's not drivable. We will need the steering to move the car around when we take the engine/tranny out. I can let you know when we get to that point in a couple of months.
Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay.

OK, not a huge rush but just let me know if there's any play in the column in the meantime. If there is, then I have no need for the parts. Thanks. John

do you still have this car or parts from it?

indianabanana

The 73 is long gone. Sorry. I hated to do it because it had many good body panels and parts, but the place that was doing the engine on the Cutlass was moving to another facility and called the smasher.

rmustang

hi do you have the right side door mirror for the ninety eight

indianabanana

As I said in the previous post, the 98 is long gone to the smasher.
The good news is the 455 it gave up for my Cutlass has be rebuilt and after a few issues with the Edelbrock heads and the copper headgaskets, it now behaves like it should. Now all I need to do is stock up on rear tires.
