Hello from the St. Joe area. It's been about 10 years since I had a G body. My first was a '78 Regal a friend gave me with a bad 3.8 in 1990. I done a timing chain & Krylon rebuild to a '70 500 Eldorado engine & put it in with a Buick short tail TH400 Switch Pitch. It was my daily driver/ toy for years. I sold it a long time ago to a friend, who sold it to his dad, who sold it back to him, to be sold again to a different friend. After they all had their share of fun with it of course :lol:

It's been sitting idle under a tree for about 4 years. I drove it home 145 miles today. My son & I will be having fun with it now. Maybe his grandchildrens grandchildren will get a hand at the wheel someday :roll:

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I wanted to get a few pics last weekend but didn't get it done. I'll try again next weekend.

Took it for a spin last Saturday & lost the rear brakes. Probably one of the janky wheel cylinders cocked in the backing plate. I hate those things.

Small world... I was in Sioux City & Lincoln last Thursday. I'm originally from Beatrice.

I spent a few years in Cortland before moving to Lincoln, and worked at the McDonalds in Beatrice in high school. Graduated at Norris in Firth.
