Thanks from a fellow G body guy. Been looking around for how to's since I am starting to take all the good parts off my 87 Montecarlo. Sadly an SS taken off the streets permanently by rust but with every intention of saving every part I can for use on another or someone who needs one of those parts.
Thanks again Brian. I reckon that will make it much easier to do my door hinge rebuild with the fender out of the way... Can't wait to see the Moon roof Cutlass finished!
Nice video. Glad you got how-to's like this posted, will come in handy when I get around to tearing apart my '88 Cutlass Supreme Classic for paint and restoration.
Can u PLEASE make a video about installing the chrome back onto a Buick Regal? The chrome that goes onto the lower door, fender, and quarter panel. I had mine painted and I have all new plastic clips for my chrome but I dont want to screw up my paint putting it on. I didnt take it off so I'm not sure how it goes back on.
I would join Classic Gbody Garage on Facebook and ask there. Might have some people that can show you how it goes because I don't have a Regal that has any of its chrome removed.
Fantastic video Brian. wish this was up a month ago before I went to take mine off to remove the AC box in my '78 Lemans. Ended up creasing the fender with the door extremely badly when I fastened it back on and opened the door. Now I can't get my door open and need to find someone with a spoon. Also neglected the shims and let them fall everywhere so it's a big mess.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage first let me say thank you in advance you rock bro keep doing your thing I'm a big supporter and do you have a video or a how to anywhere
Hey Brian! Do you have a video showing how to replace the power antenna? I have an 87 Cutlass Salon and I brought it to the dealer and they like wanted to tear my whole car apart. I've found instructions that say how to do it but a video would be helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the help! I'm replacing the vacuum hoses on my '87 Turbo Regal, assuming I have to remove the fender to reach the vacuum lines that go back for the HVAC?
Just found your video. I think this might be a step in the right direction I need. I've got a 78 Caprice wagon that sits lower then normal ("3 clearance). My front tires rub horribly when I turn, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix my problem without having to switch out my front tires for smaller ones.
Hi Brian, I’m restoring a 88 cutlass supreme classic. I am getting ready to take the front header panel and fenders off but do I need to to do a frame off or can I leave them on
Thanks for the guide. Working on a 81 Cutlass Supreme with 36k original miles. I want to put the 'euro' header panel on it. Got any extra laying around??
Remove all fender bolts on the back side near door and windshield, remove inner well bolt behind the front tire, remove each core support body mount bolts, remove wire harness, remove AC condensor, remove radiator, remove hood cable, remove any hoes attached to components on inner wells.
Thank you for the reply. I ended up doing it already. I did it on a Regal, and from what I experienced it's pretty much mandatory to at least loosen a Regal style header panel. Mostly because of the way it slopes. Removal didn't require it because the fender was badly damaged, but installation of the replacement required some wiggle room. Helpful video! It gets some credit for helping me finish the car in time for my first-ever road course track night! Regards, A fellow Brian
Awesome! Glad the video helped out. Every Gbody brand bolts up slightly different but this video is designed to get your off to a good start. See you in the next video!

Hey thanks for all the videos , very helpful .

Do not but its just the reverse of removing the fender. Just make sure you have the proper shims to gap the it correctly.
HOW ABOUT SAME THING ON 1981 OLDS 88 REGENCEY, GOOD JOB.
Hey boss suggestion can you put back on the driver side g body door for thee 84 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme
Use a floor jack with a long board and 2 people. Bolt it up.
I'm trying to find out to remove rear fender
Welded on.
What happens if you lose your shims? How do you get it back to perfect?
You buy new shims because they are needed to take up the slack.
Thank you so much! Helped heaps! Do you have a video for removing the A frame?
No frame work yet....Thanks for watching
Any videos of how to remove/replace doors ?
Nothing on that but there will be

The plastic inner well comes with it. There is no way it stays in the car cuz its bolded to the fender.
Hi, is this similar to 79 Cadillac DeVille? Thanks

Tires too large.
I have a 1980 cutlass supreme and it got hit on the driver side now I know I can replace the door but the body is damaged as well how do I repair that
Do a how to remove a rear end I have a 1987 Grand Prix and will be doing it soon
4 bolts on the trailing arms, 4 bolts that hold the drive shaft loops, ebrake cables and brake line.
I have a 84 Grand Prix can you make a video on how to remove the power antenna .thanks
You have to remove the inner well. It then bolts to the inside of the fender.
I have a 1995 buick century. An A-Body I think. Can't find anything on fender removal for it. How similar would it be to this?
I have never worked on one.
Thankyou @Levi
Hello, would you be willing to talk more about the 350 with an olds crank that makes 440ci.
I can do a video on this yes.
thanks, it would be cool to get part numbers,specs, where you might find a 350 DX, thanks a ton.
Do You Have a video to remove/install a power antenna on a 87 olds 442???
I don't but you must remove the inner fender well to gain access.
Hi Brian, I’m restoring a 88 cutlass supreme classic. I am getting ready to take the front header panel and fenders off but do I need to to do a frame off or can I leave them on
Thanks for the guide. Working on a 81 Cutlass Supreme with 36k original miles. I want to put the 'euro' header panel on it. Got any extra laying around??
I sold all of my Euro's
do you need to remove the header panel in order to remove the fender?
Yes
how do you remove the whole front end
Remove all fender bolts on the back side near door and windshield, remove inner well bolt behind the front tire, remove each core support body mount bolts, remove wire harness, remove AC condensor, remove radiator, remove hood cable, remove any hoes attached to components on inner wells.
Do I need to take that off to replace the antana?
Remove the inner well
hay brian, I need the engine harness the one that's under the booster. can you please help me out.
No problem. Please email me classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
so do I put the old shims on with new fender or the new shims with new fender?
Every car and part is different so shim as needed.
You keep mentioning 78-88 G body cars and my Chevy Caprice is 89, Would your videos still help me with my 1989 ?
A Caprice is a B-Body and there are many differences. The fender on a B-Body might have similar bolting points.
How do you remove a quarter panel though nobody has a video on it
Cut it off. They don't unbolt.
Classic G-Body Garage I did some more research and you just have to unbolt the entire body
Classic G-Body Garage Thanks for your time
I have a 84 cutlass supreme my temp Guage isn't working in have changed the sender and traced the wiring I'm at a loss with this any ideas

How do I get to the 5 bolts in the door well
How I can replace the antenna from 1984 olds cutlas supreme?
Remove the passenger side inner well and its bolted to the inside of the fender

That was a long time ago.
steering wheel removal for ignition cylinder?
I need to do a video on that.
If I remove the heater box how can I still have heat in my car could you please explain that or show me how to do that
You need a NON AC box that has heat only. Non AC optioned cars.
Classic G-Body Garage where do I get that
Hunt one down on ebay or through the Classic Gbody Garage Facebook group. It's not an easy swap.
Do you have any euro header panels for sale?
Do not
Do you have a set of 14 or 15 inch chrome cutlass rally’s for sale?
I don't
How do you line up the doors
From the hinges. They slide. Thanks for watching!
I also got a 79 cutlass supreme wud that fender fit my 85
No

Brian how do you change the horns on a 84 GP?
Paul Woods they are located inside the drivers fender and easily unbolt and pull out from under the hood.
Thanks Brian I saw them there but wasn't sure if they were able to be pulled out that triangle opening in the inner fender
So the header panel can stay but the hood does need to come off?
yes
Thank you for the reply. I ended up doing it already. I did it on a Regal, and from what I experienced it's pretty much mandatory to at least loosen a Regal style header panel.

No the front fenders are in fact different. LS fenders have a different lower section on the front of them.
