Hot off the press 😀 . Very odd seeing something I built in a magazine.

Very nice and well deserved! Thats pretty awesome your car made it in a magazine-kinda sucks that GMHTP is about the only car mag out there that still makes any mentions of turbo buicks....

Thanks! Hoping it may lead to a full article but who knows. Yea it does suck. I think there would be enough material for a Buick magazine with both GS and turbo cars, like Camaro Performers and High Performance Pontiac.
 
Today I had the 12 year old window tint removed and redone. Old was 35% sides and 5% rear, now 20% sides and 10% rear. Looks 100% better. Pics show how the RJC system isn't fitting quite right, which is annoying. Will be fixing that this week.

Yes when the car was painted they were repainted flat black.
 
First show of the season was yesterday. About 200 or so cars in attendance. It was sponsored by the local Ford club so to no surprise I didn't win anything but got a lot of positive feedback. Got a lot of "is that a GN?" or "isn't that supposed to be black?". One guy came up to me and said he used to own GNX 449.

Also received a plaque from GM High Tech Performance today that has my article on it. Very cool piece.

Nah, the old farts didn't want to play :wink: . Lots of nice cars though. Oddly enough, I wasn't the only Gbody. 1 83 black/silver Hurst Olds and 1 87 Monte SS Aero-coupe.
