Looked in the forums but couldnt confirm Can an 84 Buick Regal donor frame be swapped into an 80 Pontiac Grand Am with 0 modifications? It looks like all the body mounts are the same. The possible difference being the length of the front frame horns/core support locations. My frame needs rust...

Even after seeing the 295 50 15s and liking them, my wife is dead set on the Rally IIs. We tried several SS sizes. She likes the width of the 295 50 15, says it changes the landau look/makes it blend better. But...RIIs = her final answer. I vetod staying with the 14s...rear disc brakes. HW...

Why did GM offset the rear axle housing in the g body? What purpose? If doing a new rear 9 inch housing should the offset be deleted? If offset deleted will the upper control arm mounting be off? Im getting adjustable ones, but want to make sure im not going to create an unresolvable issue...

About to do frame off on her Grand Am. Wondering about tire sidewall flex and rub on the factory rear frame. Factory tire was a 195. Rear tires are JJ code Rally IIs 14" with 215/70/14 BFGs. There is 1.25 inches between the rear frame rail and the sidewall of the tire. I didnt check front...

Worried the LS2 is going to twist the 80 GAm frame like a pretzel. Just starting swap. I see UMI offers bolt on stiffeners. Are they enough? What weak point(s) in the gbody frame? Has anyone twisted their frame on 400hp LS2 power? Looking for suggestions. Stock LS2 with 4l80e. TIA This is...

T and S will post together on this one. Donor is a Cert of Death 05 GTO from reported flood damage though none was found. 41000 miles. Starts and runs strong. Damn shame, its a Yellowjacket edition. Sherry's 1980 Grand Am is a triple black super nice car i bought for her 15ish years ago. It...

So after a very long search we found the donor. A running 2005 GTO with flood damage but no water in the drivetrain with 41000 miles. It will be here Wednesday. He is trying to finish his Torino which will take a few months so he can start my Grand Am. Sniper Terminator X Holley LS install kit...

This is Tony Sherrys husband. Her Grand Am needs spoiler help. Asking for some pics if you have them. Silver on the bottom is just foil so she could get an idea of what i was thinking. 80s gm scheme. She wants a gray instead. LS swap. Going with a GTO as the donor. 1 inch difference in...

Hey guys I'm looking for my high school 1978 Grand Am. Last known whereabouts Houston TX 1990. I had to sell it when my husband went overseas with the Army in 1990. I haven't seen it since. I sold it for $300 to a young girl and her father. If I can find it I have a 1980 Pontiac Grand Am...

Car came with a NOS door skin still in the GM box. Some minor 'shelf' wear but in good shape. 9 out of 10. Tony said very hard to find but am thinking of selling it since it's taking up alot of space and houston is so humid don't want it to waste away. Are these rare? Would you hold onto it? So...

BAD leak. Tony checked around and Duralast makes a reman box. Anyone dealt with one from them? Sherry

Trunk, extension and quarter trim my husband found at a local junkyard for $25. Not perfect but looks ok. Tailights from ebay $55 door to door complete (tks S/W for the ebay headsup). So for $80 I have the 78 rear end I wanted. I think the chrome looks so much better than the blacked out '80...

Just curious about how rare is rare. it's not a big deal but of the 1600 Grand Ams made in 80, mine is black on black on black with many options. Tony can get a Marti report for his Torino, does PHS go up to '80 and if so how do I get a report? Sherry

BIG Difference! Sherry

Pix to come soon. awaiting shipment of the rear 2 tires. Fronts fit fine, no tierod issues. Tint is on, BFG/Rally IIs (charcoal center) to be completed Tuesday, air shocks to raise the rear already on, chrome tail lights (78 correct) coming (thx s/w) by end of next week, bezels for quarter and...

Hey, I've noticed issues with starting my car. Seems the choke sticks open just enough that it sucks in too much air & messes up my mixture, so without blocking the choke 'til it starts or pumping the snot out of the gas to try to equalize the mixture, it doesn't like to fire up. Is it...

Hey, the Hi speed on my a/c fan went out. The other 3 speeds work. Any ideas what went wrong? Same thing happened with my '78. Thanks!

Hey, looking to change up a few things on my Grand Am. Would like to put the '78 Rally II wheels on it, as well as the '78 5-section grille inserts and the chromed taillights. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys. Sherry

Just joined the forum! I had a '78 Grand Am back in high school, and my husband just bought me an '80 that I'd like to tweak. Nice to be here with y'all! Any leads on Rally IIs, '78 grille and taillights would be very appreciated. Thanks! Sherry
