What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

I just purchased my 85 Salon with a sbc350/t350 combo. I removed the mini starter and reshimmed it and got the aggravating screech at startup. I also replaced a hacked transmission leaking cooler line with a all metal version. I love my gbody.

Pics or it didn't happen lol! Welcome aboard from KY.

1 step forward, 2 steps back

Put some LEDs in the engine bay. They don't help a lot as far as seeing in the dark, but they look cool and I'm usually in the garage with a bunch of lights when I'm working on my car anyways

Braved a snowstorm to go to my local Horror Freight and picked up an air panel flanger. The passenger front floorpan came in while I was out of town, and rather than butt weld it, I'm gonna flange it and weld it. It's only a floor pan, so what's a little more seam sealer!

Got some assembly done. Not near as much as planned, but progress is progress! Got the driver side A pillar, drip rail, and B pillar trim and weatherstrip channel on. As well as the door handle, lock and striker.

Got the body painted!
Next, work on doors, fenders, hood, nose and tail gate and get them ready to paint.

With a break in the weather, and a Gov't furlough yesterday, I actually replaced the LR wheel cylinder with a new, slightly larger one ( mentioned in an earlier post) and bled that side. I also removed some window tint installed by the PO. I sold the Weld Draglites that came with it originally, so I am pretty much at "Free" for the cost on this car.

Yesterday me and my friend went to the local salvage yard to try and find a door handle for his el camino. Didn't find that, but I scored a 5 band EQ radio out of a Ciera. Holy CRAP this thing is way louder than my old radio. It's still junkyard fresh so it needs a good cleaning, but it works. Not bad for what I paid for it.

Also, my friend later went with my brother to another junkyard and spotted a Regal that looks exactly like mine. Only difference is power windows and a gold stripe instead of silver.

I think I have that same one in my 89 IROC from the factory

neat. They're decent units that can be found in almost any 84-90ish gm car. Plus I like the factory look. Not a fan of the modern version either, with the CD player, also not a fan of the aftermarket version.
