I have no connection to these folks but have been thrilled with their manifolds and just saw these . . . http://thorntonmusclecars.com/product-category/headers

1903 Oldsmobile Surrey Bliss . . . I want one! :love:

Did not research this. Just tripped over it. I've got plenty of projects I cannot get done already. This appears to be ready to go though. https://www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles/14945/1987-buick-grand-national

:popcorn: No rules . . . this belong to anyone here?

For those that know or just e-know me and others that have heard me talk about her and our other 4 legged kids . . . Our Xena the Warrior Princess, Toy Manchester Terrier, lost her battle with life today at nearly 17. That 3 mile drive to the vet was QUITE long and yet not nearly long enough...

Hey, this is just for anyone interested in the older ones. And I have NOT forgotten I owe some of you 0-60 and tire smoke! Since after only 12 pages on my VIN tampering thread I managed to actually get a 2nd old driver car bought, a 67 442, I thought I would document it here. Now, I...

This relates to an older car I'm interested in but I've noticed some VIN stuff going on with some of these older cars being sold by "reputable" collector dealers. Notice how the 4 down in the serial number clearly looks like a 4 but the 2nd, 3rd, digits that signify whether it's a real 442...

You guys [gals?] like to read Clancy-esque stuff? I wrote a sci-fi book nearly 10 years ago that I had to self publish. Based on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, once that date came and went and I'd only sold a whopping 469 copies, I decided to pull it. It is a short read as I pulled nearly 100...

Hey, just wanted to inform others that the Kidde Smoke Alarms and Fire Extinguishers I bought at Home Depot about 4 years ago are both on a recall list. Go to Home Depot, Lowes, and all the other outlets where you shop and you should find their recall section. Quite a few of the links on Home...

Hey, have any of you Regal owners used these? http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=46_22_43&products_id=387 Wondering if I could use them as a starting lip for a custom splitter on my 442?

Actually need about a dozen to help keep the weeds down here. Dat one badass goat! I'd consider that Landrover if you could get the diesel in it? No, only comes with a 500HP V8 that gets 15mpg. Call me kooky but I'd rather have the 500lb.ft. diesel that gets 30mpg. You can finally get the...

Though I still think Systems Engineering was the right decision for me, Astrophysics was my number 2 choice and I still sometimes wonder what might have been? If you happen to land the right gig at NASA, JPL, or reach a tenured professor research position at the right college or university it...

So, I was pumped that I finally got my Eaton Detroit Truetrac and it has "Made in Taiwan" on it. I've requested this from Eaton as well but anyone know if this is cheap crap steel like most everything else from over there or would they [god forbid] still be required to build to the same...

I am putting in a new gbodyparts headliner and I have enough extra Dynomat to do the roof above it. Anyone done this or just a bad idea?

OK, so I am curious about good, bad, and otherwise experience with different ultra high performance and up tires. We can include all season tires in comparison to summer only especially if someone has experience in all seasons that performed nearly as well as dedicated summers did? Since ultra...

Just FYI, my '87 442 8.5 rear has 5/16"x 7/8"x18 thread stock bolts holding the cover on. When I put in the big block, I got rid of all the "part metric - part SAE" ridiculousness under the hood so it is now all SAE up there but on my latest [hook up, turn, and stop] project I decided to add a...

Believe these are made by or for Afco but anyone have any experience with them? I was going to just be safe and grab a set of Bilstein B6s [and I still might] when I ran across these. Virtually the exact same price as Bilsteins. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pfi-ss100/overview/...

So, by their design, I get how these clamp to the axle bolt up to the frame bars are going to help keep the frame and thus body tied to the rear axle but don't they also, by their design, inject about every single bump, divot, [pebble?] the rear wheels see directly into the chassis? Anyone who...

Though I said I would NEVER EVER get rid of the factory SSIIIs on my 442 [well if they come off they will actually just go on my tire rack] as I still like maintaining the stock sleeper look. Per this other thread I started . . . https://gbodyforum.com/threads/hmmh-love-my-ssiiis-but.59113/ I...

I wonder how these would look on my 442? Should set off all that gold 442 striping nicely and I think I could fab some 442 centers. This would also allow for the C5/C6 conversion. 17x8
