thats cool man, yeah the plate was really cheap and the guy wrote whatever you wanted on it, i was surprised it was there. Iim still deciding if i want to go with a V8 conversion or look for a turbo 3.8 which will go in easier than a 350 swap. gluck with ur car man!!

its funny you say that, GMP has a 1:18 diecast with the same wheels on it and setup, I saw FNF like a month or so ago and did notice the Buick at the start of the movie, if can find a turbo 3.8 for a decent price i might do it, if not then time to start looking for a chevy 350 w. matching trans...

Im also documenting my build, have a big folder with start to finish pix including cars production paper, reproduction windows stick (its a 1987 even though my car is a 1984) and other goodies.

thanks! more to come soon!

about that GNX plate with my middla name on it, I was at a fleamarket and a guy had this little stand and made plates with writing on it, I oculdnt beleive there were a few GNX plates and asked how much, made it for only 10 dollars San Jose flea market if you can see him there, havent been there...

HELP me out ugys, i remember a while back i think it was for a Cutlass or Monte someone posted pics of their gauge cluster and it had sheet metal (diamond cut) style wallpaper around it- basicly all the effects of metla but none of the bad stuff, you know like getting cooked in your own car...

..do you guys have on your car? all types of Gbody owners I want to hear (or read i guess) how many mile syouve put on your factory motor, my 1984 3.8L V6 N/A currently has almost exactly 190,000 miles on it. Any of you guys with higher miles on the same car as mine of similar? Monte Carlos...

on an unrelated note, does anyone know whatthe CFM is for the 2BL carb on the 3.8 regal?

it does thnx, just need to blow it up.

woa, blue/aqua says 60, thats what they all look like, on another note how do i replace the bulb inside? do i need to remove the entire instrument panel/cluster?

its 1984 Regal Limited yeah then it might be the bulb i did yank out all the fuses and none were burned, on another note I cant seem to find out what the ratings are on each fuse theyre all blue with smeared numbers so im not sure if its like under powered or something, this is the first time...
