    Roof top strip removal.

    Hi all, 96 Tahoe- I need to remove the 4 roof strips, as I am going to paint the truck soon. I want to make sure that the rust (failed GM paint issue) did not get under the strips. I don't know if they simply pop off, or have a stud on the underside and have to remove the headliner to get to...

    Los Angeles Alignment Shops

    Hi, I have had to find a good frame shop years ago, and found Mike's Frame shop in Canoga park the best. This is a genuine frame shop with all the racks, 4 post pullers, etc. He's been in business since about 1977. I went there in 1983 and he straightened out my Mercury Capri fromt end, no one...
