Most of these GM A Body vehicles utilize the same windshield with the exception of the 4 door and station wagon cars. So the wiper size should be the same for all the 2 doors (Malibu, Laguna, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Regal, Cutlass, Lemans, etc). Hope this helps.

The 76 Monte Carlo is currently being dismantled, so its just a parts car. Thanks for your interest.

These cars have been my passion for over 30 years. And they are finally getting some respect in the past couple of years with more sheetmetal and other parts coming available. Love to see some pics of your 75 Laguna! You can email them to sales@g3direct.com. We will incorporate a page on our website for showcasing the vehicles of others. Thanks so much for your comment!

The first one I ever saw was at a local machine shop when I was dropping off a pair of head to be reworked. Asked the owner's son about it and he told me it was a 74 Malibu he just picked up from at "little old lady". That was back in the early 90's. Ever since then I've been looking for these A Body vehicles with the "Skyroof" option. They are rare for sure. Thanks for your comment!

I have not sold the roof molding yet.

Ok how much you want for them I got 1977 full vinyl roof so a want to make it helf vinyl roof

@@manuelsegarra697 You can contact sales@g3direct.com for details on this part. Thanks.

Alright thanks

These are really nice looking cars. Very sad to see them in this condition.

Yeah, the 75 frame, shoulder harness for the seat belt, the VIR A/C system, grille and headlights, etc. This appears to be cobbled together with a bunch of older design parts. Did the factory do this? Or was this a VIN swap??? Supposedly the auction company did a background check on the VINs on all the vehicles they sold that day so who really knows???

Most windows need to be adjusted after installing new weatherstrip. Take a piece of paper and slide it between the glass and weatherstrip and see if you can find some tight spots. If so, then make adjustments to the window until the paper slides evenly around the glass. If everything is adjusted properly and it's still slow going up I'd replace the window motor. In some instances the spring on the window regulator gets weak or breaks and that will cause the same symptoms. I have a video on window adjustments on my channel under the title of "Window Sweep Replacement". Hope this helps.

@g3garage ill definitely check that video out then try adjusting it. Thanks for helping me out. Much appreciated.

Glad to hear!

Ha! I knew you'd spot that G3GM sticker!

Not sure exactly what you're referring to. I did not remove anything at the bottom of my new pump and it worked perfectly.

Yes, they are specific to each side. Not sure why Speedway didn't mark them left and right. The ball joint stud will angle slightly towards the front of the vehicle when installed correctly. This makes the top of the spindle tilt backwards towards the firewall to give you positive caster for better straight line tracking. To be sure you can match them to your originals and it will be obvious what side they go on. Hope this helps.

@g3garage yes and no I didn't have factory a arms on my 87 I had tubular a arms for a lift on from what I can see I'm pretty sure the shorter arm on the a arms go towards the rear of the vehicle least what I was told .looking at your thumbnail of the video the open end of the tub on the arms is the shorter arm and go towards rear and the solid close side towards the front am I correct?

@@87olds_rocketboii Open end of the tube is actually the front and its longer than the tube that is closed in the back.

Idk bro judging buy measuring and off looking at them even in your thumbnail the open end is shorter and shorter air go facing the rear iv seen this on umi and speedway arms the best way to tell Is your rubber mounts that are for the a arm so it don't hit sits right over the bounce plate like it suppose to even touches the plat when the car lifted up pretty confident there on right

Sounds like he had the perfect color scheme. These cars can really bring a smile to your face. Thanks for your comment!

@@g3garage ironically My Brother owned a 68 GTO at the same time !! Wanna talk beautiful and badass... Org242 car, 400HO, RamAirII Mayfair Maize (like a pale yellow) Black vinyl top, Hideaway headlamps, Branded Hurst Dule Gate (his and hers) shifter, with 410 rear gear !! Complete numbers matching!! It was an amazing car!! I told him the day he sold it that he would regret it!! It would sell for 100K+ easy today !! Have a Gr8 day!!

@@mocarpenter8836 That is definitely a bucket list car to have!

I ordered this upholstery kit from Rock Auto and the description said it was Charcoal. Hope this helps.

@@g3garage Thanks!!

Just buy an A/C compressor that is correct for an 88-92 Camaro with a V-8.

Yes, this is a great setup for price. I am, however, going to upgrade to a fan setup that has a bit more cfm than these stock fans. I'm running a 400 sbc (which typically run hot) with a mild cam here is the Houston area, and when we get close to triple digit temps and I'm running the A/C, the fans just can't quite keep up. Hope this helps.

@@g3garage yes that helps I wanted to make sure the fans actually help when it’s over 100 degrees with having the ac on with out overheating. we had a major heat wave in California.

Actually, I'm not sure. I know 74 & 75 are interchangeable. But I'm sure you could do it will some welding and fabricating. I like the 73 style as well.

Gotta love making tools! Thank you for your comment!

It's been a while since I've done this, but if I recall, all 3 lines have different size fittings. Regardless, you should mark each one before you remove them to be sure. Because if you do accidently switch the return and supply line, the vehicle will not run. Hope this helps.

I ended up using the hoses from the Buick Roadmaster. They fit better around the wheel well than the Cutlass hoses.

Welcome to the Gbody club! You can contact me at sales@g3direct.com

Great info! Thanks for your comment!

No one that I'm aware of reproduces the regulator or any parts inside the regulator for these vehicles. Your best bet is to find a good used regulator and replace your broken one. We have several in stock and our website that we sell these parts on should be functional in the next couple of weeks. You can contact us on the website g3garage.com or send an email of the details (right/left/2DR/4DR, etc) on the part(s) you need. Thanks for your comment.

@@g3garage thank you for getting back to me so quick, yeah my passenger side on my 77 el Camino got stripped and I didn’t know if you could replace the gears or what, this is my first time messing with my windows like this so I’m trying to learn as much as I can before hand and your videos helped a lot I really appreciate your work and explanations for 73-77 cars you do good work I’ll definitely check out your site

@@Fp49274 Sorry, forgot to give you the email. Its sales@g3direct.com. Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to help.

All our hard work is finally paying off! Love it out here in the country. Hope to have the inside of my shop looking as nice as yours before too long. Thanks Chaz!

Very true.

Thanks so much! Out family has definitely been blessed. Glad to see someone else has this 3rd Gen A Body sickness besides me!

Just moved the shop to a new location over the past few months. So haven't been able to install these yet. But its the first thing on my list to do as far as videos. So hopefully in the next 30 days.

Yes I do, otherwise I would be able to afford this hobby! Thanks for your comment!

Thank you Limey! This new place has definitely been a blessing!

Thank you Jerry! Definitely loving this country living! And yes, I'm about 30 minutes west of Cameron. Sounds like we need to get together at the next local car show.

Seems like we have very similar tastes in vehicles! And yes, the Hurst is a W30 with a numbers matching 455. Thanks for the comment Mike!

@@g3garage Yes we do but I lack the skills you possess. I’m partial to Pontiacs but love any of the colonnades. In the late 70s my brother had a beautiful 75 Cutlass Supreme. Black with a white landau roof and bucket seat interior. That’s what got me into them. In the mid 80s my first car was a 75 GP. Loved that car but it was a rust belt roach. A neighbor had a 75 with T tops that was really nice. He kept it in mint condition and I always wanted it. After several attempts I finally bought it over 20 years ago. Still under 50,000 miles. Building a mild 455 for it. I’m also going to put a set of rally gauges with a tach and put a sport steering wheel on it. Other than some bubbling under the vinyl roof at the base of the rear window it’s basically rust free. It was Ziebarted back in the day and garage kept. Can’t take it to a gas station without someone talking to me about it. Your Can Am is definitely cool. Hopefully it has the W72 400. Not really a Chevy fan but the Laguna and the 75 Elcy with the 454 are sweet. I didn’t know they made an SS package in 75. Good luck with your new digs. Looking forward to new content. Stay safe.

@@mikee2923 Definitely love these Colonnades! I've been a Chevy guy most of my life, but have really gotten into the Pontiacs in the last couple of years. Love to see pics or video of you GP. As far as skills go, most everything I've learned is from watching videos on this platform and being fortunate enough to hang around a few car guys that know way more than me. Ah Ziebart, if it wasn't for that treatment being done back in the day, half of these cars would have turned to rust piles long ago. Yes, the Can Am is the W72 Pontiac engine and runs great after waking it up from a 20 year nap. The El Camino carried the SS option all the way to the end of its run in 1987. Of course this was nothing more than a trim level with graphics and or badges. But it does drive the value up. Thanks and really appreciate the comments! Take care Mike

Thanks so much Robert! I hope to have great things happen in the new shop! Let me know if I can help in any way with your 76 Grand Prix. Those are cool looking cars!

What are you looking for?

I would select 2 so you can control them individually depending on how you wire them. Holley incorporates 2 trigger wires, one for each fan. Hope this helps.

@@g3garage yes it did help thank you!

@@84SS931 Sorry for the mention of the Holley unit. I've since upgraded to a Holley sniper and now use it to control my fans. So on the Dakota, Fan Low connection would control your first fan (primary fan) and Fan High would control the second fan to come on at a higher temp or when the A/C is turned on.

Thanks for the input! I wonder if they can be replaced with polyurethane bushings?
