    GBOTM December GBOTM Nominations thread - A _______ Story!

    This is my 1978 Regal Sport Coupe. I bought it as my first car for $400 when I was 15 (54 now...sheesh). It was a deep maroon color that had already been painted and was cracked everywhere. It had the 3.8 turbo in it, a bench seat with column shift and not much else. I drove it in high school...

    Christmas Ornament Surprise

    "For the 40th Anniversary. I feel old now. I am old now." I know what you mean. I always thought Chevelles were the old generation. Now these cars are next in line.

    GBOTM Enter Now!!! November 2023 G-Body of the Month!

    I'm thankful for the 1978 Regal I've had since I was 15 (almost 40 years) I'm also VERY thankful for the Holley Sniper EFI I installed this year which makes me work extra hours for tires.

    TH350/Hurst Lightning Rods reverse lights

    Yeah, my headers got in the way of the linkage to the column. I need the reverse lights to work or the state won't pass it for inspection. I like the microswitch idea though.

    TH350/Hurst Lightning Rods reverse lights

    Hey! Been awhile since I've posted, I've been busy! Just finished installing a Holley Sniper system with their in-tank fuel pump into the 78 Regal. AMAZING system! I've had lightning rods in the car for a while now. It started with the console shift, but when I installed the rods, there was no...

    1978 Cutlass 3.8 won’t start

    Does it not crank? Or crank but not start? If it cranks then the battery/alternator are ok. You need 3 things to run; fuel compression and spark.

    Tredwear Tire Letters- big difference

    Try finding white letter 17" tires. The car has had them since I've had it and I wanted to continue the look with the bigger rims. You'll get over it LOL

    Hurst Lightning Rods?

    My Regal had a factory floor shifter, but I now have Lightning Rods. I never hooked up the reverse lights because I don't know how they operate with the rods. Is there a switch in the console, or some kind of linkage from the transmission to the column that moves the indicator on the column?

    I'll keep you all posted. I think they look pretty cool on the Nittos they have on their site.

    Tredwear Tire Letters- big difference

    Just got some tire lettering from the guys at Tredwear. Really easy to apply. I just made a pencil transfer from my tire to a piece of paper and texted it to them. Perfect custom letters arrived Friday! Wheels are officially done!
