Wondering where a good place to buy metal is. Looking at buying a ty with a bit of rust and want to know if the price is worth it to fix it up. I'm guessing fenders run about $90, doors about $150, and tailgate around $100... Am I way off here? Don't know yet what exactly I would need, some...

Re: Advice Please actually... that's a good question. One that I forgot to ask. Guess I'll be making a call today to find out. Gah... I need my own "I'm with stupid" graphic for that one. The low mileage one seems to be well maintained while in storage, just hasn't been driven or even...

Re: What makes my radar detector go nuts in the Sy? Do you have any aftermarket audio equipment? If so, I've heard of several instances where alot of power going through the system will do some odd things to the electrical... ever notice the dash lights fade on loud bass beats? Is K/Ka first...

Well, I'm very close to getting a ty, possibly as soon as next weekend. But now that I'm down to three choices, some insight might help me make up my mind. The first two options are about the same, mid 80k mi range, fairly clean other than a few rust warning signs, with strong engine/trannys...

Re: Newbie, but I'm dead serious AC usually stands up pretty good, and I beleive it is R134, but don't quote me on that. But, the blower and/or heater core seem to flop out when you start getting near the 100k mark. Not always, but I'd guess about half the time. As for the turbo, there are a...

Re: Newbie, but I'm dead serious Ahrg... I got cut off... Anyway, as for the automatic. I've really gotten used to how they drive, I actually like them better now(especially since I switched to a dual-gate on my car). They should feel very firm, shifting from each gear without lag. There...

Re: Newbie, but I'm dead serious Well, I've been seriously looking for about a year now(very close on two options right now) but if you hate rust, you're gonna love these(read: sarcsam) As with all jimmys, they have a few standard rust patterns. Be sure to look closely at the rear roof welds...

Yes all that, about how much $$$ am I looking at? And on a side note, who is a good retailer for this stuff(online or not)?

Okay, I might have found a ty. Now the question is, how much do I need for the stock upgrades. I want to get a good solid price before I buy, probably won't stop me, but more of a question of if I go out to eat this month or not. The price leaves me a good cushion, but since it does, I would...

Hmmm, I just noticed this section. And so, I'll post why I'm looking to get a ty. My car is a 1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme olds350, fairly built (360hp/410ft.lb) the only downside is it's an TH350 with hiway gears(3.0?), still goes pretty good though. Anyway, I just finished getting it re-tuned...

Okay, here's the deal. I've heard both sides, but I want to see how well these trucks hold up. Does your SyTy run day to day with out fail(or at least make it from point A to point B most of the time) or does it just run from repair job to repair job. I've heard people use them as DD's...

Is there a poll or something on % of syty's that are daily drivers and successful at it? Everytime a discussion like this start a few chime in saying they do and have no problems. I don't expect to DD it(this is my second car), but it will be driven quite a bit. But curiosity has blossomed...

blk00z28, I guess I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. I have found several good finds that have fallen through be it because of a stiff price, bad timing(sold a few days ago), or I just plain didn't trust the seller(been screwed before, never again) These cars are well over 10 years...

Well, I've been looking for a ty for a bit now, and starting to realize I may have to set my sights a little lower. So I'm starting to search around the 100k mi range. Anyway, question is, at about what mileage does what start to fail. ie: engine/trans should be rebuilt, turbo/pumps should be...

sounds nice, too bad it's white. I love the color, but I'm not having the same car as my dad, same rust spot and everything. That said, it isn't very easy finding the "perfect" ty. sorry. btw, I'm in Detroit

How many ty's in the for sale section are still around. Looking through the first couple pages, I can't tell if they're still on the block(except for the obvious new posts and such). In reality I'm trying to get a good notion of market value... which is pretty dang low. I really don't want to...

Is there any difference between the 92 and 93 typhoon? Options, available colors, drivetrain, anything like that. I've always heard that you should never buy a first year car, but does that really matter 10 years later? That and technically the 92 typhoon is a second year car after the...

Looking pretty good, but before I begin I should say I used to be in art college(anybody by chance know CCS?) So the below may seem much... a couple things... watch your perspective/scale. getting a little jacked around the wheels, the tires aren't uniform depth, but they do look better each...

Animator. typically 3d rendering of medical procedures, special effects for a movie(only one so far) and broadcast. Also dabble in a few CAD projects and architectural design. Simply put, I'm 25, and I make cartoons. and since I haven't made a sig yet... 1972 Cutlass Supreme...
