This Gbody forum members are very helpful. I can tell that the members are more about the love of the car. I am glad so many members have reached out to help restore this car. Maybe it can be used as a reference car to help future owners in restoration. If you need additional paperwork for the title transfer, let me know. Bill
Good to see you on here Bill, welcome. You found the right owner for this car, he goes to great lengths to find and restore these meligned "Hunchback" G bodies. This car was a performance attempt that lead to the future GN legend. An attempt done during the darkest time in factory automotive performance. I am curious what good 93 octane and a couple of tweaks could do to improve the factory 1/4 mile times, probably a lot.
Mother's mag wheel polish. Works well. If you have scratches... wet sand with 1500 and polish it out. I do it all by hand.
Hi James
How is the restoration on the Turbo Century going?

Yes, curious how is this restoration coming along?
Most of you know I was right in the middle of a frame off on my Cutlass when i aquirred this car, so there is not much to report lately. I cleaned the interior VERY good, and it's in nice shape, sans the headliner. I got a new grille and front bumper installed. Thanks to Paul, I got (4) more wheels, so I could choose the best ones for the car. I bought a used set of tires, so I could move it around. Thanks to Zach, I got the missing engine parts. I bought a lift, so I could keep it indoors. I got a used car cover from a neighbor. Ans it sits covered indoors on the lift for now. As soon as the Cutlass is completed this year. I will get the Turbo Century running. I tried to title it in my name, so I could prove it was mine before I spent a bunch of money on it, but a non-running car from California, has been a challenge. I have to get a bonded title, and wait 3 years to get a new one issued in my name. Slowly, but surely I WILL get this car back on the road. Thanks to everyone ( Bill, Paul, & Zach) who have been so helpful. I won't forget it, and all of you guys will be kept informed of the progress on this car.
