Haven't been too active here for a while... Didn't do much of anything this summer but it was time to finally tackle a project that I had to get done before winter. The rust spot behind the left rear tire had been getting bigger and bigger since I bought the car in January of 2016. My degree in...

Set out Saturday morning on a mission to get pics of as many G-bodies as I could for you guys. I know I didn't get all of them... but I think I got most of 'em! Lots more coming...

Bought my old Buick wagon back from Lue... After about 3 hours of scrubbing it looks half-way presentable. The paint fried and all of the bumper fillers are trashed, but it's mostly as I sold it... I don't know what's wrong with me sometimes lol

Thought I'd give you guys a glimpse at what I've been slowly messing with over the winter... Nobody makes a G-body Olds in 1/18 scale, so I decided to do it myself. I started with a GMP '87 Buick GNX and started hacking... The base car I started with... plus a waiting victim/donor...

I know a lot of you guys bought them already... Anybody finish one yet? This afternoon I slapped the decals on mine and called it done. It's been almost 20 years since I've built a 1/24 scale kit... It was a fun build, but it was also a great reminder of why I got away from 1/24 and got in to...

Putting the interior back in my wagon when I stumbled across these in my parts pile... And I don't remember where they go... they slide onto the edge of something. My only clue was that they were stacked neatly on top of my door sill moldings, which may or may not help. I held them up against...

The name might have changed, but the show's still the same... Who's going? I'll be there in the 442...

Well the 700-R4 in my rusty-but-trusty pickup lost 4th gear last week, so the hunt was on! Since I make terrible decisions, why would I spend $500 to rebuild my trans when I can blow $500 on a completely NEW set of problems?!? lol It's an '84 Regal... 3.8 V6, 3-speed auto. Came with an extra...

Alright, the time has come once again... Who's planning on making it to the show? Showing or spectating? I lack the ambition to head over early and rope off a section for us, so we'll be scattered across the fairgrounds I assume... I've seen a few mentions of it in other threads, but let's get...

Bought from and sold to several times over the past few years. Completed yet another smooth transaction. Look forward to doing business again! :banana: A+++!!!

Anyone else mess with rc cars? A buddy and I impulse bought some rc trucks a few weeks ago... The stock body started getting pretty ragged, so I got a sweet El Camino body for it and painted it blue like my first one. We both got the ECX Ruckus, and have been pretty impressed with how well...

Just got my bumper from Brandon. It was very well packaged, communication was fast and so was the shipping. Definately recommended! :banana: Thanks again!

Here's the few pictures from the show/racing I went to this Labor Day weekend... Beautiful '70 W-30 442... ran mid-12's... My buddies '70 Challenger R/T. Best run was 12.28... Now for the G-bodies... 8) Sweet '83 Bonne wagon... I LOL'd at the sticker on the back... I want that hood for...

I'm starting this thread to show what it takes to swap from the depressing 231 Buick V6 to a proper Buick 350. :banana: Hopefully this thread will be helpful to others who may be considering/performing this project themselves. The basis for this project will be my 1981 Buick Century Estate...

Here's a listing of the performance oriented rear axles as offered from the factory in various G-body vehicles. '83-'84 SS's had 7.5's with 3.42's and TH-350's. '85-'87 SS's had 7.625's with 3.73's and 200-4R's. '83 H/O's had 7.5's with 3.73's. '84 H/O's had 8.5's with 3.73's. '85-'87 442's...

Toyota announces it will hault sales and production of most of it's car lines in correspondance with it's massive recall of over 4 million vehicles. Toyota has grown to GM-esque proportions, and is now experiencing GM-esque problems. The irony is delicious... :lol...

Like the title says... Where do you store your car?... For those of use that aren't fortunate enough to have year round car weather. Here's my 442 all tucked in for a long winter's nap... Here's the 40' shipping container I rent... I forgot to get a picture of it full of the Olds and Buick...

Well, it's that time of year everybody... When the G-bodies get stashed away, and the snow starts flying. So how many miles did you put on your G-bodies this year? I'll start... From May to date: I put a pathetic 134 miles on my 442. :( I only drove 81 miles in my Cutlass wagon. :( And I...

Welcome!

Here she be... It's a 1962 Cadillac Miller-Meteor 3-way hearse. Drove it back over 150 miles yesterday after replacing a chewed through fuel line and wiring up the exhaust manifold that cracked into three pieces... My best friend bought this car back when we were juniors in high school...
