Don, Yes, a 1980 from TX, already has a 71 400, GN 3.42 rear, complete Hotchkiss suspension, new paint, no rust, new interior. I have a few personalization touches for it, but I'm looking forward to having one that is already done.

Wow Don, I haven't been hanging out here as often since I sold my G-body (one is in the near future though). I am glad and thankful you weren't hurt. Also glad to see you are in the process of getting her back together. -Dave

I've seen both, even have them saved somewhere (can't find them right now), I've been following this car for years, back when it was still a stock 301 with dead paint.

Hello all, I figured I'd post this here in General Discussion as well as under Pontiac Grand Prix / Grand Am / Lemans Bonneville. Thanks to Iowapub, I have the seller's email. I emailed him and know the car stayed in the Houston TX area but he couldn't remember the buyer's name. I'd be happy to...

Nice find!! I saw it advertised but was working on buying this one. It's a 3.8 V-6 but is a super nice original Indiana car with 50K on it.

But so is stating the obvious . . . . . .

Sounds like a very unusual color combination. Since visual impression is a lot of what anyone can go on, please post some photos as soon as you can, and I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers. -Dave

Since, from what I am reading, Conrad is not making these anymore? Ran across this doing a search, anyone have any experience with them? https://www.autobodyspecialt.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=GB-75-P

Cool! I'm glad it didn't take much in the way of steady hands and good hand-eye coordination, at my age, I'm seriously lacking in both those departments. As a tradeoff, I guess with age comes patience and the will to 'do it myself', LoL. -Dave

The Carbon Fiber looks good too, I think it depends on the interior color, gauges, etc. I used an X-Acto # 11 blade. Angle it about 45 degrees to the opening, so you are just skimming the edge of it, and gently run it around the circumference. Making 4 separate pieces may have been more work...

It's been on the bezel and in the car for about 6-8 months, no signs of it coming loose anywhere so far. BTW, that pic is what I used for inspiration too. Thanks for the compliment. I trimmed the 4 pieces first, then I used a sharp X-Acto knife, gently pushed through the material, and slowly...

Kent, your's looks good too, the continuous piece changes the look completely.

Yes, mine is actually 4 separate pieces, but cut from a single piece, that way, the pattern is consistent. I bought it off eBay, but the company had ALL kinds of patterns and colors. I thought about carbon fiber myself, but decided to make it look like the T/A dash. I cut the pieces, then put...

Here's a couple of photos after I put the 5/16" spacers on and one of the contact between the tie rod and wheel. I'd love to hear opinions, pro or con, about the look of the powder-coating, and the look of the car ( I like it, but won't be offended if you don't). There is a good chance the car...

Here's a few photos, not the best but you can see what it looks like. -Dave

The silver on mine was tired, so I bought some engine-turned (like used on Trans Ams) adhesive material off eBay and put it over the silver. I think it looks pretty good. I will post some photos this weekend, been so busy I haven't had time to download the ones in my camera. -Dave

I have the correct snowflake lugs for the wheels, but with the 5/16" spacers, I needed a mag style shank to reach deeper into the wheels, to make up what I lost with the spacers. -Dave

Hi Dean, Thanks for the input. It sounds like you did exactly what I did, glad to know it works long-term. -Dave

OK, figured out how to fix the problem of the studs being too short with spacers. I found that mag wheel lugnuts (3/4" shank) make up the difference and fit. I put 5/16" spacers on and the lugnuts thread down in the wheel and give me almost exactly the same amount of thread depth as the stock...
