she is rough and she is tough.

Yeah one day off isn't really enough to be able to do leaf springs.  Maybe if you had help.  Any other 'Nest members in your area?

[wonderEAGLE]

Have you tried taking the hand cleaner GOOP and getting the grease off of the seats?
Our Impala is a light color inside a little darker than off white.
Well after I got it back from having it serviced just by accident I noticed a big gob of grease on the head liner above the drivers door.
I don't know how they managed to get it there, but I didn't see it before I got home. I had already used GOOP to get some grease
out of my off white carpets in the dinning area ( No comment on how it got off of the EAGLE and onto the carpet)
I Just took and put the Goop right on the grease spot and rubbed it in real good.Then I took a clean DRY paper towel and rubbed the spot until I couldn't see anymore grease. Then I took a DAMP wash cloth and rubbed the spot where the grease had been and around it to get the goop off and you can't even tell there has ever been any grease on it. It didn't leave any kind of stain at all. I sure was glad to find out that GOOP works good on stuff other than hands. I noticed it has on the back of the container that it can be used for laundry problems too so I do it.

i thought about doing that already but the seats are in worst shape than they look. the back seat has a tear in it, as well cigarette burns. i'm going to redo them in black with flames and the EAGLE NEST logo at the top of them. yes i'm obsessed with black with flames.

replaced both headlight surrounds and driver side tailight so here are pics of the originals and the new.

[IowaEagle]

new ones look much better.    Save those old ones if they are any good, they can be painted black for folks who need Sport surrounds

[maddog]

the old ones were waaayyyyy to messed up for anyone to use so i chucked em i do still have the busted tail light with the crome surround if any body wants that.

ok guys finally got around to getting my new grill installed here are a before and after pic.now the before pic it doesn't look that bad but you should have seen it before i fixed to look as good as that, sorry about the second one my led light took just enough juice to keep killing the camera.


so what do you guys think?

[IowaEagle]

Looks good to me.

[amc78concord]

Nice work, it's getting better all of the time!

[maddog]

now who can guess what it came off of.

[IowaEagle]

I have seen that grille before.  Not sure at the moment where. 

[maddog]

ok iowa the grill is off of a car just like you own, just two years newer. now do you know what i got it off of.

[IowaEagle]

Yup.  I did not realize they changed the grilles on them.  Even the '81 looks a bit different too.

[maddog]

yeah the concords had slightly different grills than the 1980 eagles did, but look enough like that most won't notice the difference unless they know their eagles. and i was able to put my eagle emblem on on it from my old grill without having to modify it.
