Haven't been on here much recently, too much going on but I'll spare ya the sob story. I was prepped to make it to my first ever Gbody Nats but the big bad C word said no. I've been driving the wheels off the aerocoupe. It's been my daily everyday it doesn't rain. The last year that I had this...

Haven't been on here much recently and the reason is that I bought a new house and have been busy doing house stuff. I've also been accumulating tools, bought a new Tig welder, mig welder, plasma cutter, etc...well all of that went up in smoke on Friday (3/27). Luckily my car is safe. I had just...

Getting ready to move into the house I just bought and one of the first orders of business is installing a wood "add-on" furnace. For those that aren't familiar, its a wood burner that simply ties into your primary gas/electric furnace ducting. Main reason I'm going this route is the cost of...

I have a remote style reservoir for my PS and hydroboost setup. When everything is nice and hot I have some pulsing in the steering wheel. No issues with the brakes however. When I go to open the PS fluid reservoir I find that it's under pressure and the fluid level is an inch or so higher than...

Just as the title suggests im having some bad bump steer issues. Only to the right side when hitting a big bump or dip. Last year I had a slight pull to the right when driving but no noticeable bump steer, ruled out caliper. This winter I went from a 25.5" tire on a 17" wheel to a 26" or 26.5"...

I might be behind some of ya but the aerocoupe is finally out of its hibernation. Was able to wash it and take a few pics after it's dust covered slumber in which I made quite a few changes. Mostly unseen wiring and boring stuff like that. I think once upon a time I had a build thread but I'm...

I know it should be common sense by now but I nearly got bit in the *ss by something im usually so ahead on. This morning I had the random thought to check my coolant in the aerocoupe since this polar vortex sh*t is freezing everything around here. Car has been sitting stored for a few months...

Anyone here ever swap in a Flaming River or similar aftermarket column? Got a deal on one but it does not have a place for an ignition switch or wiper motor. I don't care about having a locking column and I don't mind moving both switches to the dash since my dash is custom anyway. Anyone have...

After stressing out and thrashing for the last month trying to finish up the car for the car season I am out just a mere week after getting it on the road. Drove it to work and home today with no issues. I go to leave the house 30 mins after getting home and BAM, no oil pressure. I shut it down...

For the past few weeks I have been tinkering in the aerocoupe to fix some things that have been driving me crazy. The 2 biggest things being the ugly Pontiac GP center console and the half assed gauge panel I made years ago. This is what I started with. Aluminum hydrodipped gauge panel and the...

For those of you not using the stock heaters in your car what are you using? I have been looking off and on for a small under dash unit for the aerocoupe for the sole purpose of defrosting my windows on the occasional mornings/nights I need it. No vent or floor, just defrost. I have found...

A random project I started a little bit ago. After being dissatisfied with the 2 tail pipe configurations(Monte SS and GN) I have run on the aerocoupe I decided to try something else since I was replacing it anyway with the new Pypes X pipe setup. The X pipe install snowballed into a full...

As the title says its about that dreaded time of year. I was going through my list of winter/storage plans and figured it'd be interesting to see what everyone else has waiting for them this winter. For me its fabbing a 6 or 8 point roll bar, E36 headlights, remake the gauge and shifter...

This winter I wanna put a non AC box in with a blower motor and heater core for the sole purpose of defrost in the early mornings and late nights I drive the car during the spring-fall. I don't wanna source all the factory stuff like the controls, duct work, etc... Keep in mind my car currently...

Kind of a random question to ask here but I know a lot of guys on here do work for other people on the side or full time. My dad will be doing a complete paint job on a friend of his' 67 Barracuda. Its a pretty solid car but needs redone. His friend brought up the fact that he needed to find...

My dad has been having a hell of a time keeping water pump gaskets in his 68 Olds 442 'vert with a mild 455 in it. The problem started last year. Water pump gasket blew out, replaced the gasket it blew in the exact same spot again. Replaced pump with another stocker and with new gasket it blew...

Im finally getting around to putting miles on my car with the FiTech setup on it. The other day about 15-20 minutes into a cruise I noticed my fuel pump seemingly getting louder as I drove. It went from being unnoticeable with the engine running to sounding like static coming from the rear...

Does anyone know what the fitment would be like with an A-body muffler back exhaust on a G-body? I currently have 3" duals into mufflers and then dumped before the rear end. No company that I have found sells a 3" tailpipe kit for the G-body but plenty of companies offer them for the A-body...

Can anyone tell me the length of the driveshaft needed for a short tail TH400 and an 8.5? I know the 8.5 requires a 1" shorter shaft than a 7.5. Im not around my car to measure and im looking to price a new driveshaft. Thanks

On my 82 Regal my turn signals do not work. No lights come on at all. Every Gbody I have ever looked at has had 2 spots for flashers on the fuse box. One at the top of the box and one at the bottom. This fuse box has the 2 locations but only the top spot has the spades to plug in a flasher. The...
