Greetings all,

I've been checking out the site in the shadows and finally decided to register. I'm not new to G-bodies at all, but have been away from the car scene until recently buying my first Grand Prix.

As a matter of fact I bought my first '79 Malibu for $700 back in '91. After that I was hooked. Since then I've had many Malibu's, Regals, a 442, three SS's (including one aerocoupe), etc. I haven't owned a GN, 2+2 or Grand Am.

I have a wealth of knowledge about these cars and would be glad to help anyone that may need it. I've been wrenching for the past 20 years, including being a helicopter mechanic in the Marine Corps '(93-97).

Here's a few pics of my latest find. I was specifically looking for a '78 Grand Prix and it took me awhile to find something this solid. Anyone else in the rust belt may know what I mean.

I'm right next to Midway airport. I'm originally from Peoria, but lived on both coasts while in the military and moved to Chicago back in '04. I bounced around on the north side until I got sick of the parking and traffic. A buddy of mine lives in Bolingbrook and I'll be keeping the car there until I do a little work on it.
 
G-Body_Vet,
Welcome to the site! Alot of good people here to talk to. Have fun with your latest G-body project and keep us posted.

Doug
