Hey man thanks! I appreciate it! Your Monte is pretty nice too! I love the gta wheels you put on! Still debating if I want to put mud flaps on, what you all think? Mud flaps or no flaps?
What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

Went to the dragstrip again with my son. Car keeps running better as I make changes and dial up the power. There was also another Regal w/ an Olds powerplant owner out having some fun. Was very cool to have another G-body @ the Track.
Pulled all the tailgate trim, stripped the paint, started sanding and prepping the left quarter for primer.
tried out the carbs I put together yesterday. the one with the 49 rods and 73 jets ran good but a little too lean but it'll be good for a stock 305, the one with the 43 rods and 71 jets is still a bit too rich so I'll pick up some 69 jets but I'll be suing that one since the GP runs great with it.... now the problem in gas prices, I paid the equivalent of $5.25 for a gallon of gas today. It must be a long weekend...
Installed new gate opener remote, and 2 qts ATF. Really need to get back to work on replacing drivetrain...maybe with Fall coming there'll be a little less time spent cutting grass/maintaining mowers
well I parted with some parts off the monte today. The orig 305 HO Alum intake from my monte, plus the holley carb and K&N filter from my motor swap have gone to a good home.
Had a fellow drive from peterborough to mississauga today to meet me ( 75 mi or so ). He brought a nice low mile "barn find" 305 powered 1980 cutlass ( looked like a calais ). Said he got it 1 step from the orig owner who parked it in his barn may years ago. It still had all the emissions, heat shields on the manifolds and even a working efe valve !
He bought my junk as he is trying to get it running a little better as his qjet has issues. We took a quick look at his rig and he mentioned that he has lurked the site, I hope he joins. Wished him the best of luck and sent him on his way stating that if he has issues to look us up !!

Pulled complete fenders and header panel and good condition taillights of a 83 Malibu that shouldnt be in a salvage yard.
Went to another cruise Friday night. Good to see some more g- bodys. Look close you'll see all 5
