Yes, for sure, but, I like to make things my own. That's just me. I understand and respect the purists and I like to keep everything "sort of" original, but, not quite. On the "Frankenstein" note, I document everything in detail in a binder that I keep with maintenance records, receipts, and...

So, this time it's my rear window... It rolls all the way up to the top, then stops short, roughly an inch or inch-and-a-half from the top. I can then push it the rest of the way up, but, it won't stay for very long. aua Why is it doing this? Any ideas jump out? :shock:

You can see she's leaning a little to the right just sitting on level ground. The tires are good (well, aired up anyway...), sway bar is there...

First off--you're my keyless ignition hero. Next, where did you get the goods to do it? I was going to use a momentary rocker with a flip-up cover with a label that says "ARM" and a push-button for the starter that says "FIRE"--kind of going on a weapon theme...BUT, I love staying with the...

Perfect! Exactly the info I was looking for, gentlemen. Lets say I don't care about lift, then. My biggest problem is the weak springs. Can I go to the scrapyard, grab a few extra leafs off of an old GM squarebody and supplement what I have, or, should I just replace everything that's under...

Just throwin' stuff out there, but, what about add-a-leaf? Also, if I want 33" tires is 2.5" of lift enough for plenty of clearance? I'm not planning any serious off-road adventures, just a little better gettin' around in the deep, midwest snow....

So, if I want to add some strength to my old, weak springs, and may even a few inches of lift (4" max) in the process, what's the best, cheapest way today so (if there is such a thing)? I'm not afraid of the junkyard either if used springs are a possibility... Thanks, gents!

I've definately tackled worse. Normally, when I'm at home with beer, a bathroom, and ALL of my tools, I'm much more comfortable. But, being in this parking lot, I was waiting for--even anticipating--that something that would come up that I didn't have the right tool for, or, for something to...

The first bit was simple. Using the puller was easy. Even the lock plate wasn't too bad. But, getting the plastic piece off was a pain until I watched the video again and figured out how to loosen the tabs to get it off. The lock plate was fine until it came to getting the ring off. That wasn't...

It was indeed the ignition lock cylinder. It wasn't a bad job, either. I had all of the tools I needed and it took about 1-1/2 hours, all said and done, maybe less. I took my time (as I usually do doing something for the 1st time). The biggest challenge was keeping track of all of my tools...

Well, the key goes in (I'll post pics of what is broken later), turns, but won't go all the way forward anymore. I can turn it on, have power, and warm up the plugs, but, I can't get it to the start position. I was able to last night after some serious fiddling, but, 1/2 hour of fiddling this AM...

I watched that chucklehead. He wastes SO much time complaining--it could be a 20 minute vid!!! I found this one too. It's for an older GM, so, I'm wondering how close it is to what I need.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eVl7MZN_dg

Well, I'm really not ready to tackle the push-button start bit right now anyway. I'm swamped with nursing school, kid's activities, and keeping up with my house and other vehicles. I'm also gonna TRY to do this in that parking lot, against my better judgement (I HATE having to shuttle back and...

This sucks... So, my ignition lock cylinder is so stripped out (I hope is isn't that whatchamacallit gear) that I can't even get the ignition to make contact to start the beast aua. Is there a way to bypass the ignition (hot-wire it, basically) to get it home where I have ready access to tools...

I just replaced both mufflers on mine. I'm in school, making half of what I did a year-and-a-half ago, so, I'm on a serious budget. I went with the cheap one from Advanced Auto Parts. It's not what I WANT to do, but, it is a fix for now and it took a sawsall, 2 muffler clamps, a hanger, and 20...

I did find a switch from B&M (imagine that!). $11.11--ANOTHER project....

As I said, I just like it there. I like resting my hand on the shifter, I'm used to a lifetime of shifting manually--No real good reason other than 'cause I could and 'cause I wanted to. Personal preference. I linked to the exact model and it's nothing special--just moves the mechanism from the...

I have one of the circulating heaters--Kat's 1500W--I live in WI where it gets WELL below zero. It's nice to see my hood clear when there is 6" of snow everywhere else. I think it's worth it. Had it for almost 4 years now and I'm glad I spent the $50. I connected it inline with the lowest hose...

Soooo, last spring, I installed a B&M floor shifter in my M1009. Why? Because I like having my shifter there :driver:--end of story. http://www.bmracing.com/products/80775-automatic-shifter-unimatic-shifter/?mk=&yr=&md=&smd=&eng= The problem--I need to find a way to get my reverse lights...

Found my Gen 2 gremlin and got it all back together. Finished up my B&M floor shifter mod and mounted my Cobra LTD LX in the dash.... It's great to have it runnin' and on the road again... Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
