Happy to get back into a G-Body soon. Picking up a '79 Lemans to replace my HS car, now parts car.

Welcome from Regina! LeMans looks pretty decent.

I was out your way on vacation last week...

Thanks, that's a old pic, sadly it's become more of a parts car now...

Here is the new one.

That one looks good too, and I love a white Gbody! Looks like that one is a Grand LeMans?

It is yeah. Going to pull all the chrome though.

Welcome from Ontario. Cool looking car! Keep us updated with your progress.

You sure about pulling the chrome? It makes it look sharp and crisp. Really brings out the body lines. Oh well, to each his own. Hang onto it though. People want that stuff.

Welcome back to the G body family from right here in Calgary too.
Love to hear your plans for the car. And more pictures. We all love pictures here.

It's going to have to be a slow process, as I have to get my current project back to running on the stock engine. I'll be pulling the BBC out, going to a single carb and using it in the new car.
I've been looking at ridetech coil over level 2 kit. Probably just a good th350 for now, pulling the diff and a few other parts from my old car as I had 3:73's and a BBC in it, so a lot of the chassis and exhaust will make the move. Of course big brakes and what not. Short term is to get it back on the street, make it stop and go quickly. Long term looking to do a mild pro touring car. Would like to be able to just jump in it and go for a drive to SoCal if I wanted to.
