Need to get the Porsche gone, some of it is spare parts money for the Malibu. Having everything fixed it developed a problem with the rear body control module kicking up the spoiler and trying to actuate the top, which in turn runs the battery down. Water egress had the module all funky, time to...

Looking at upgrading the front brake setup on my Malibu, mostly to change to 5 X 4.5 bolt pattern to match the Explorer rear axle. Looking at the Forged Dynapro 6 Big Brake Front Brake Kit...

Need some help from the collective on the 350 in the Mercury we are working on. High points are what looks to be a 1974 Oldsmobile 350 with #8 heads, HEI, stock cast exhaust manifolds, 2" exhaust piping, factory cast iron 4bbl intake, Edelbrock 1406 carb. We need some more power out of this...

Let's liven up this area of the forum! What's one(or two) of your current favorite tools? Two of my current favorites are the Vim 1/4" ratchet(1/4" bit one side, 1/4" socket other) and Wera 1/4" ratchet(socket adapter is removable). I bought the Vim first after a buddy had one, compact and...

I do a little bit of driving for work and have been driving by this for around 6 months, stopped and grabbed some pics plus a potential phone number...... Any guesses for the tires on the roof??????

Anyone running a full cage on the street? And if so what brand or custom built? Really thinking hard about end goals and the build has changed from a hot street car to "I may get one run in before kicked off the track" type, plus I would also like to run the Silver State Classic and Drag Week...

Anyone help me out with a measurement from passenger side head or block to leading edge top of core support? Malibu preferably but will take anything to avoid dropping $1200 needlessly for the wrong turbo mount position. TIA

Finally got my last wayward project home from Iowa.

I need one of these! Maybe Rktpwrd too! Ultimate easy rust removal

Anyone using a "portable" style 2 post lift in their garage? I have 8ft ceilings in the garage, so a tall 2 post won't work but I have been looking at the portable style that have somewhere around a 40" lift and can be removed for storage if needed(and if anchors are installed correctly). Anyone...

A buddy and I bought this today, couldn't beat it for the price, not sure what to do with it right now. 1961 Ford F700

I've never been a full time truck guy, I've always borrowed, rented, or owned slammed trucks but with home ownership plus projects running all the time a truck would be a good idea. Money spent on a truck of course could be spent on current or new projects so it would have to be cheap. I've been...

Anyone pulling off 275/45/17 on a 9-9.5" wheel all around on a Malibu? Preferably a lowered one using drop spindles? I have an idea for my wheels that would be nice to run a squared setup but not required. I can always revert to an 8-8.5" up front. I've seen the Cutlass wagons with it.

Can anyone with Malibu sport mirrors give me a measurements for the passenger side placement? My door was drilled for it but didn't come factory(no inner backer) and I'm wondering if it's in the right spot. At this point it would be easy to delete.

I know that g-bodies are our passion BUT seems we all have 500 other projects(motorcycles, houses, etc) going on at the same time. I'm not doing a build thread but am currently working on a BMW R65ls for a neighbor. Tore it most the way down yesterday and dropped of the bodywork for new paint...

I can't find a similar thread that was posted lately sooo I may be picking up another project that has been sitting for 10 years. 350 Chevy with a TH350 and 8.5 rear(details later). I at least figure on seals/gaskets everywhere and replace all fluids. Up until 3 years ago it was turned over by...

I'll assume just keeping a G-body alive is your first hobby, what is the next hobby that takes up all your time? My current is building/modifying watches, mostly dial/hand/part swapping but lately I have ventured into case work, grinding/cutting/polishing. I take something like this And do...

What is the over/under on someone reproducing tail for any/all G body's? I realize the variations would be ridiculous but finding a mint set of Malibu tail's is nearly impossible and I had to go and fall in love the 78' but mine came with 80' model tails with blue dots and I'm stuck with a...
