What did you do to your non g-body project today [2025 edition]
I have my daughters 2010 GMC Acadia in the shop currently for a transmission rebuild. It has the 6T70, and was having some shifting/slipping issues. After I got it out and tore down, I did find 2 broken wave plates and some worn clutches. I used all new clutches, a Sonnex 3-5-R wave plate...- liquidh8

Hot Rod Power Tour 2025
Last year was the first time I made it, and with my brother. We've ALWAYS wanted to do it, and only bought long hauler tickets last minute on a whim. No BS everything else was on the fly and we broke everyday. The enjoyment was running into people, helping them, them helping us, the hotel... -

BUILD THREAD 81 Buick/Olds Turbo Wagon 02/15/2024 More Parts!
Man, another year down and I didn't do squat to the wagon to get it running again, other than gather parts. Life has kept me busy this past year, and not really in a good way. Other than gather more parts I did purchase some tools in 2024 to help with the engine build, I also called vendors...- liquidh8

20 years of GBodyForum? What's Next?
Some tough questions here. I've utilized forums since their inception, and still search em out today for various vehicles, and reasons that aren't vehicles. Social media may have an "instant" reply, but honestly half the time its useless responses. I hope forums will be here to stay, but I...- liquidh8

What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]
That's what she will have to do, the only reason it is here is because she was visiting and on the way. She lives 2.5 hours away or else I would have just done the tires in my shop.- liquidh8

What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]
Repaired my washer, appliances in my house never last. Also, had to repair my oldest daughters Grand Marquis. She took it to a tire joint for new tires, and a few days later with my middle daughter driving on Interstate 81, the left rear wheel decided to divorce the axle at 80 mph. So much...- liquidh8

Shop Tools/Scanners: Best Bang for the Buck?

I have a launch on base for out fleet, nice tool for sure and I like it batter than our Crap-on scanners. I've seen good reviews for the HF one, and looks from the...- liquidh8

BUILD THREAD 36x48x14 Shop Build Update 10/10/2024, Additional Lighting
Heck yea, they move some air for sure. I had though about that from time to time, but they are fastened up there good! Another update, all the mini-split parts came in. I do however have to make some spacers for the wall mount, so I ordered some plastic rod to machine down for the task. It...- liquidh8

What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]
It is a flathead. Thanks for reaching out! We haven't done a compression check yet, and the carb is still suspect. To be honest, it's going to get driven a few times as it has been sitting for 10 years, and will go into storage for the winter. I'm not opposed to a rebuild and we already...- liquidh8

What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]
It's a more door, the engine runs pretty good. We have a shake at idle I have been chasing that I believe shouldn't be there, when compared to the Willy's and Plymouth flatheads, those things are smooth idling. Those avanti's are pretty sharp, and I doubt we'd find one, haha.- liquidh8

What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]
Messed around with my Fathers 1950 Studebaker Champion. We did a petronix point conversion kit, set the timing, rebuilt the carb. Also replaced the LF wheel cylinder, fixed a brake pressure switch leak and bled the brakes. He swapped the fabbed gas tank and replaced it with a new OE...- liquidh8

BUILD THREAD 36x48x14 Shop Build Update 10/10/2024, Additional Lighting
Did a thing, pulled the trigger on a 36K BTU Senville Mini split. I did a bunch of online research, text, reviews, videos, etc. This seemed to be the affordable-ish solution, with a good warranty and hyperheat. The parts are going to start showing up today, with the system itself by FedEx...- liquidh8

BUILD THREAD 36x48x14 Shop Build Update 10/10/2024, Additional Lighting
Small update as the fall is in full swing and winter approaches! I haven't done a compressed air distribution system yet, but the parts are mostly gathered. I did add some bench/tool box lighting to the shop using a 10 pack of ultra lightweight, twin tube 48", LED shop lights. Since I haven't...- liquidh8
