@@ClassicGBodyGarage those t-tops leak? Anybody make soft seals for them??????????

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

The car has had a cover or been in the garage so knot sure if they leak. I believe there are aftermarket seals available for them.

[@stevecollins115]

Just wondering if you'll do a video showing how to center an aftermarket wheel. Just installed one and she's a little cocked to the left when heading straight. Horn lead goes through the install kit, so I'm wondering is there an adjustment in the shaft that I can spin a few degrees.

I have purchased a two door 1979 delta 88 royale. I noticed that when it rains, there is a leak that starts dripping down from somewhere up underneath the dash onto the passenger's side floorboard.

Heat box gasket most likely
