    Help me identify this rear end (seller says GN)

    What's up guys. A guy at my job said that he had a Grand National rear end. When he brought it in, I used a few threads from here and the turbobuick website and I'm 99% sure this is a 7.625 out of a Monte Carlo SS (what looks like a 2TH stamp on the tube followed by a C), but I don't want to...

    Does anyone know what this part is called?

    On a Regal/GN (probably all G-Bodys), the part that the window seals glue into...does anyone know what that's called? Does any company sell new versions of that?

    Trying to bring this Regal back to life

    The next major thing are the body mounts and what I'll do after that is dictated by my hope that the frame isn't trash.

    Part number for the panel under the steering wheel

    When the thieves stole my car, they snatched the panel below the steering column. They sell the part on OPGI, but does anyone know the GM part number or another place that sells it. I've search for about 20 minutes and I didn't come up with anything.

    Rear springs for 86 Regal

    86 Regal (just replacing the super old stock stuff). The car has sat for 10+ years. It's a street driven car. I've already decided on KYB Excel G (all 4) and Moog 5660s on the front. I don't have the final tires on the car yet, but they will most likely be 235-55/60/15 on all 4 corners. I...

    New Regal

    I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time. This is my 1986 Buick Regal that my uncle sold to me today. He's had it for over 25 years and it sat in his garage for the last 10+ years after being stolen and recovered. He had it repainted after being stolen and had the engine rebuilt (I'm not...

    Dual Feed Line Leak

    I have a leak coming from the fitting on my dual feed line to my Summit carb. It's not the fittings that screw into the carb, but where the fuel hose goes has to attach to a fitting that screws into the dual line hose (I hope that makes sense). Has anyone has an issue with this before that can...
