There are a ton of good people here that are more than willing to help people out. There are a lot of info experts here, for sure. I am definitely NOT one of those guys, but I learn a bunch here, too.....

 

Found it! The measurements for your door decals are in this thread....

I click on the link and it says "requested page not found"

 

Should work now

 

Go to post #28 in that thread. It shows new old stock GM decals with the measurements on the pics. Measurements are from the front door edges....and the distance above the stripe

 

Yeah, I was just looking at that... Thanks allot man!!!

 

No problem. Glad to help!

 

Dagwood,
I took some pics of the "fender bulge" today. Can you help me?

Passenger side - door on top/fender on bottom


Is this the plate?




Wheel well...

 

Here is the drivers side -





Clip on this side looks good. Passenger side is broken.

 

Ok, this bolt goes through the cars pinch weld. The pinch weld needs to be straight vertically, and the bolt needs to be straight horizontally. They (pinch welds) actually bend pretty easily. That bolt holds on the bottom of the fender. So if you get that straightened out, it will line up the fender. You can get a vice grip or something on that pinch weld, or bolt, pry on it and you can watch the fender suck back in.

 

That's crazy. I'll do that tomorrow nite. With your parts car you have that you showed me the taillights, does it have factory exhaust manifolds on it? Mine has headers and I want to go back to factory so was thinking instead of looking around locally for manifolds, if you had them, I would take them and the taillights together in a package if that would be an option for you.

 

I'll have to see if the exhaust manifolds are there. The engine was gone when I bought the car, but it seems like the manifolds might be there. The car is at my brothers farm an hour away from where I live. I'll check the next time I'm out there

 

Oh, don't worry about it. I didn't realize they are an hour away. And being snowstorms going through midwest, its not worth the drive... I'll look around here and see what I can find. I'm also looking for a factory Delco AM/FM/Cassette player with 5 band EQ.

 

Do you recognize the little bracket that is broken on the passenger side? Do you know what that is holding? Is that part of the ground effects?

 

If you are looking for a radio, check with the member John In RI. He is a factory radio wizard and I think usually has factory radios on hand. I had him fix the one in my IROC and he did AWESOME. He sent a video of everything working before he shipped it back to me, etc. And, very reasonably priced. I'd recommend him 100000%

 

Unless that 91' RS parts car is a B4C (police package), the exhaust manifolds would not be correct for an 86' TPI motor.

I would put a wanted to buy ad in the classifieds for a manifold and y-pipe set.

 

I have the factory but it has issues. Maybe he can fix mine.

What do you think of the broken bracket under the passengers side by the pinch weld? Is that part of the ground effects? Do I need to be concerned?

 

I can't remember what that clip is for. I'd have to look under my IROC, but it's in storage 30 miles away lol.

Is it ahead or behind the bolt that I circled? And does the bolt go up instead of horizontally?

 

Its in front of the bolt you circled. Its right after the wheel well you can see in black. The bolt in the clip goes vertical. The front side of it is what is broken.

 

I'll have to look under mine when I get the chance. I would say it's nothing to be overly concerned about, though

 

Ok, let me know what you find out whenever you get to it. No hurry.

 

Sounds good. My IROC is in storage 30 miles away or I would go to my garage and look right now lol.

 

I appreciate it man. Not worth it. I see you are in Iowa and I know what February is like up there. I grew up in northern Illinois on a farm so going out driving around in February wasn't fun.... Hahaha...

 

Also, John In RI can put aux ports in the factory radios. I had him put one in mine. He can put them in the radio face, or put a cord out the back of the radio. I had him put one in mine, and I chose the cord out the back since I'm kind of an originality geek. I have the cord coming into the ashtray so it's totally hidden when I close the lid. It works great!
