That one is very tricky. I had my entire dash out but I think it was when I dropped the steering column down.

I used BA9's in the dash. And a 1157 led amber in the park lights which looks great. I couldn't get the 1157 led's to fit in the tail light assembly. Not sure why still working on that.

Thanks for posting that. I just did the same thing but included led parking lights. I have the led's for the rest of the exterior but so far haven't changed them yet. I also just upgraded the head lights to halogen.

Thanks. I did solve my body mount problem. I actually bought a set of universal mounts from energy suspension. With some tweeking I was able to make them work and they're polyurethane to boot. Thanks for the offer tho.

i know this is a month old but i have an original windshield wiper motor and i have 4 hub caps in pretty nice condition (maybe a few small dings and i think one has cracked center cap) but all and all really pretty nice.

Thanks. I kinda forgot about CARS mainly because of there prices. I've had the body back on the frame for a while now but have been working on some engine issues. Thanks again

does any one know who makes new body mounts (rubber, polyurethane, ...)? Mine are totally shot and dry rotted.
Thanks

this doesnt sound correct. nailhead manifolds only differed in width across. always have some one measure across before buying a nailhead manifold. most people dont know there are different sizes and most people dont know what size engine they have. just a heads up

I have a bagged 58 buick. if youve ever bagged anything its pretty easy. it depends on how low you want to go. mine will lay frame on the ground but i have a custom rear suspension. no kit out there or really needed. FRONT: I removed the front springs, made the hole in the frame were the spring goes ...

I pretty sure the front glass is the same for all execpt maybe convertables. 58 buicks shared glass with cadillac and oldmobile.

although I dont recommend it, you could cut or heat the springs. cutting is usually better start by cutting 1/2 coil at a time til you get the ride height your after. I have also heard of people bringing a spring to a parts store and searching for a shorter one but these cars are heavy and who knows ...

I need a good pick up tube for my oil pump or if any one knows where I can find one.

thanks
