    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2019]

    Yeah, I was at a GoodGuys show and after a brief downpour, all the big buck car owners broke out these battery powered leaf blowers to blow the rain off their cars. I had been going to major car shows for close to 40 years at that point, yet had never seen anything like it. Nuts!

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

    I got a later start than I wanted to. But I, yanked the passenger side front seat to get easier access under the dash. I built a homemade duct to better disperse the heat from the Vintage Air heater that's installed on the backside of the firewall block-off plate. My passengers were...

    What did you buy for your G body today? [2016-2018]

    Picked up a coil of copper tubing to replace the plastic tube that came with my cheapo oil pressure gauge. Last week I picked up some hardware store trinkets and such to make a mod to my aftermarket heater I installed back in the Summer. Also got some oil and a filter. The wagon will get a...

    82 Camino, meet 69 Camaro Dash

    I love out of the box thinking like this. Well Done!! It reminds of the guys who have installed 58 Impala dashes in 69 Camaros. Those look cool too.

    What are your G-body NEW YEAR'S resolutions for 2019?

    It needs new rear tires for the non-winter wheels. Other than that, the plan is to just drive the thing daily as I have been with the goal of only having the add gas and change the oil maybe twice throughout the year.

    Which rims

    If the choices are only the two, stick with stock. Cragars are so overplayed. Now if it was a 60s or early 70s car, I'd say the Cragars.

    What did Santa bring you?????

    I got a new fire extinguisher for the shop, a two-burner propane heater that I can use in the shop or in the house garage, and a fresh MP3 player since the one I have in the wagon is getting finicky.

    REGAL My Console Concept Doodle.

    I was thinking the same thing. While a console could have all those other doodads, if it doesn't contain a shifter, I think it makes no sense being there.

    Ready for Christmas ?

    I'll confess I'm not like most guys. I didn't wait until today, or even tomorrow to start shopping. The Mrs. and I went out shopping together twice a few weeks ago. Then I went out twice more on my own and was done shopping two weeks ago. I also handled the designing, printing and packaging...

    exhaust balanced tube

    Exhaust was brand new on mine when I got the car. X pipe with Flowmasters. To this day, it's the ONLY part of the car I've not had to mess with. But the X pipe will be GONE when this system rots away. It's totally unnecessary for the stock 350 that blows through it. Chit... even the...

    86 cutlass floor shifter bracket?

    That's Ridler contender material compared to most of the handiwork the P.O. of mine performed for me.

    Pedestal for shifter over bench seat - any pics/ideas?

    That's what I did. Actually the previous owner had a different floor shifter in it that was a total mess. Couldn't find a gear, was loose and flopped all over the place, linkage collided with the speedometer cable so that was disconnected, and there was no neutral safety switch. I kept the...

    Insane Junkyard Lots of Pictures

    That's what I was thinking too. It would be nice to know of a yard with older stuff in it. The last place I dealt with that always had everything I needed for my 77 Grand Prix, is now shutting down. This place is much closer to me than Tulsa, Oklahoma.

    Insane Junkyard Lots of Pictures

    Where is this place? I see you're in Pittsburgh. I'm on the east side of Cleveland. So it might even be driveable for me.

    Pics of wagon dual exhausts wanted

    Yeah, Blake's looks like mine underneath minus the X pipe behind the G Force crossmember that I also have. Even the driver's side header collector hangs lower too.

    Pics of wagon dual exhausts wanted

    The exhaust on my wagon was BRAND SPANKIN' NEW when I bought the car. Otherwise I would have changed out all of it. I could tell it was the absolute last thing the P.O. had done on it because it is in the way of EVERYTHING. I couldn't get the starter out due to the long tube headers. The...
