Tear down, clean and lube a 60's GM wiper motor yourself.

(Preview)
I'm looking for something to dig into right now. The wiper motor from my 65 works, but it certainly needs a spruce up on the grungy case and body, and probably some lubrication. So it'll make a good small project. It has an aftermarket washer pump setup, which I kind of like, so it might not even be origina...

Anyone here have a genuine Canadian Pontiac 1965 AM antenna for sale? One that would have been front fender mounted. There is a cheesy aftermarket antenna in place on my 65, and obviously the hole was drilled, and it was added later as the car came with a radio delete plate. So it's all garbage. I'm not up...

Emblem Placement Dimensions
(Preview)
There was a thread with discussion on where to locate emblems on a particular vehicle. Todd has suggested that there be a section in each of the separate forums for particular models, so I will start one in each of those sections. If you are able to assist with specs on body emblem placement for the model...

66 Pontiac heater box vs 66 Beaumont heater box
(Preview)
I learned something new yesterday while stripping my 66 Custom Sport parts car. Good old GM. I've always said when working our 60's Canadian Pontiacs, Beaumonts and Acadians, no car manufacturer ever did a better job with making the same parts fit multiple models. Even though I've been doing this o...

Polish windshield scratches
(Preview)
My recent purchase to part out has an undamaged tinted windshield other than it has some wiper scratches. Has anyone ever tried the kits to polish out the scratches? I'm curious to try one but I don't want to bother wasting $35 if they don't work.

Turn signals question

Hey there, I recently purchased a couple of 1965 turn lights on ebay (from American Pontiacs though) and it feels like they don't fit like a glove. Am I missing some brackets which lower the light in this bumper gap? Or American bumper or light is more narrow? The socket also looks different, but I assum...

What a score, nice 70 2+2 passenger fender
(Preview)
How's this look? I grabbed it earlier this week, as well as nice drivers & passenger side inner fenders. I wonder is this came from the car that donated the gold door to the 454 Laurentian many years ago. And yes, I got the louvers & 350V emblems as well.

Hood hinges, is there a trick?
(Preview)
I cannot seem to get the back drivers corner of the hood to sit down. The hinge is as low as it can go on the 3 bolts. I had the springs off the hinges last year, and they are not worn at the pivot pins. Am I working in the wrong direction? What is this voodoo?
