    83 Buick Regal Estate Wagon 5.3 LS, bagged

    Thanks Jack and others for the kind words! Here are some more photos of those early thrash days that seem to inevitably stretch into weeks and months. Haha A little hint at what is to come! :) As you can see I attempted to retrofit in to the old computer slot on the passenger kick panel...

    83 Buick Regal Estate Wagon 5.3 LS, bagged

    As the world turns... lol. The last time I updated it was all working pretty well. I still had to get the engine ECU tuned up, the airbags would deflate pretty quickly (like over a couple nights if it sat) and they were blowing the fuse at an alarming rate. So I figured might as well take...

    Coat hanger pics please!

    Jack, I seem to recall finding a diagram of the clip designs after I had replaced my headliner and maybe that would help you to attempt a clean removal.. I broke a lot of mine. If I can find that I will post it

    Whelp..... progress? Hellcat engine to cease production after 2023 model.

    The Nissan Versa has a 500 mi range, it requires about 13 gallons of low test fuel, takes about 2.5 (minutes) to recharge. Oh, and it exists right now, has an infrastructure already in place, costs you about $13k, and you aren't reliant on the whims of a big tech company to use it. The...

    LS Swap in 86 Grand Prix 231 3.8 V6

    rodmit86, I would highly suggest reading a bunch of build threads (here and LS1tech) and form a plan of what you ultimately want out of your car. For example, if you want to modernize it with EFI, overdrive, etc then you will need to do the full swap, like computer/wiring, fuel system, entire...

    Ridetech Rear Control Arm installation ?

    I know the feeling. I have been doing a build on a 68 Chevelle, did the frame powder coating and had to drill holes for the Holley motor mounts. It's a sickening feeling but I did what 565bbchevy mentioned, just dabbed some primer and paint on the exposed metal. I used full Ridetech kit as well...

    Another Decision To Be Made

    Maybe you could find someone with a similar size wheel/tire combo and you could test fit it? Or, I saw a Finnegan's garage where a mobile tire service came out, used the mock up tool with a tire mounted on it to test fit the size he wanted because it was an expensive set of Forgelines. I think...

    Vern, not to jack the thread, but I like your style! I have the exact same hubcaps you do, and got some Appliance spoke wheels and it changed the entire look of my wagon.. I think it's perfect now

    Help Needed!!!!

    I have a coworker friend who "scanned" one of my fillers and while it's slightly curled up, it's decent condition. However, I tried to have him fix the 3d model by straightening and it came out way too squared and not curved like stock, it wouldn't fit. Anyway, he is going to try again hopefully...

    Fender Flares

    Here's a rendering of a GN in Liberty Walk style with full fender flares which would obviously take some expert body work.. but how cool is that? I personally don't like the rear window spoiler or headlights and I hate the name they gave the car, but otherwise makes you wonder what a full custom...
