    A Fabricobbler's Guide to the Turbo Buick Galaxy- Cutlass Rehash

    Diff carrier, yoke, axles & seals and bump stops are on. Probably get the uca plate silicone and bolted on and get the brakes on tonight. I ordered some brake line I need to bend and flare up and fix the rear brake line that's in the chassis on the car that was seized when I pulled the 7.5 then...

    A Fabricobbler's Guide to the Turbo Buick Galaxy- Cutlass Rehash

    Welded the tubes to the housing, got the ends welded on and added 2 more LCA holes to the bottom for a 1.25" and 2.5" relocation. Cleaned the housing up. Ready for primer and paint tomorrow.

    The shock bracket? I built it. It's just a 3/8 piece of scrap flat bar welded to the LCA bracket with a hole in it. I'll grab a photo tomorrow when I finish welding it.

    Got sidetracked on house remodeling and model building the last month back to this one! Fabricobbled some shock mount relocation brackets and bump stop mounts. Ordered and installed some wheel studs and finalized rotation of the f body rear disks. Welded half of the tube to ends on and ran out...

    Ceramics Old terracotta tile mortar had lost its stick and the old tile was just floating there. New stuff!

    Console Mounted Cassette Holder

    I think I sold the one out of my Cutlass for $30 or something and had only 1 interested buyer I don't own a single cassette so it wasn't much use to me. Rare, probably, desirable, ehhhh

    Transmission vendors

    2004r's are a cult. I'd agree, you need to go to a 2004r specialist. It's not a th400 or 4l60e where everyone down the street has the parts and knowledge to build one. I recently rebuilt a 2004r for my turbo Buick setup. I had a CA valve body (non performance) core. I went through Husek. He...

    The G body shuffle.

    Id be interested to see what the instant center looks like and how much you can play with it. I know a number of fast F body torque arm guys have issues with the front end of the car being really wheelie happy when you get into the sub 9's especially the 8's. What does the front of the...

    Holley GBody Fuel System

    You are 100% paying for convenience there The big thing that kit is missing is a baffled EFI tank. Having a drop in EFI sender is great but without a baffled tank you are at risk of fuel starvation in cornering or accel/braking. IMO it's like getting the bun, mustard, plate, and napkins, but...

    Dropped the 7.5 and mocked up the 8.5 yesterday Need to order some parts but everything fits decent. I need to move the lower shock mount, add a bump stops and finalize caliper angle before I pull the rear out and weld everything solid

    97-04 Zr2, the lifted versions on 31's. The zr2 versions are a dime a dozen up north. GM sold a lot of zr2's up here and they rusted out. zq8 and stick blazers with the tow package also did. They are worth a good amount because they are the same width as normal s10. zr2 are pretty...

    A Fabricobbler's Guide to the Turbo Buick Galaxy- Cutlass Rehash

    Dropped the trans and ordered a torque converter And started on the 8.5 rear. Dad stole the 7.5 rear out of the fbird when it went to the junk yard. I was going to sell it but no takers. I cut the ends off and stole the disks. I'm cutting 1.625 out of each side of the 8.5 S10 rear, welding...

    Anyone need to waste $75k

    I think calling it a hellcat based driveline is a lie when it doesn't have a blower. It's just a Gen 3 Hemi swapped G body with a turbo. Is there a lot of time and money in the car? Yup. Is that going to be an easy thing to own? Nope. Buying someone's unfinished project is tough when it's known...

    A Fabricobbler's Guide to the Turbo Buick Galaxy- Cutlass Rehash

    I've been in a buying dry streak most of the summer but I stumbled on the set of speedline ws6 wheels last week for the fireturd and now this 4.1 block. I stumbled on a kbid estate auction about 40 miles east of me. It had some c1 Corvette and sbc stuff and some Buick v6 stuff. The smokey...

    L67 Fbird Revision B

    Honestly I was lucky these popped up. 16" 4th gen stuff comes up for sale all the time and OEM c5 or repop stuff comes up decently often. The only options I have for 17" are these speedlines, firehawk which are $$$, or the 5 spoke ones that I wanted but these came up at the right time or the...

    L67 Fbird Revision B

    Dad's been driving the fturd basically daily since he got it. The snow has been really minimal so it's been getting the miles. Need to figure out the fuel level sensor. I stumbled on a set of 17" speedline ws6 wheels that have peeling clear on marketplace and couldn't resist. Only had to drive...
