What did you buy for your G body today? [2023]

[ck80]

Not that I really needed them, ordered a set of UMI's rear control arm braces/reinforcements. Had a Summit code getting ready to expire so I had to burn it.

So now it'll be these, the the upper & lower arms with roto joints & shock brace supporting a one wheel peel 7.5" with 2.73 gears. Gotta love over kill.

Right? That kind of hardware you seriously ought to consider upgrading to at least the peg-leg 2.29s if not the 2.14s....

At this point I should be looking at a TKX & a stronger rear holding 3.73's & posi inside. On a comparison (of false hope) to what my L48 could of had in a new '70 Camaro, the Saginaw's 3.11 1st & that 2.73 is simular to a M20 Muncie & 3.08 rear in the numbers of the ratios added together.

Bought another set of Pypes hangers to replace the ones I trimmed too much of before the umpteenth change in how I'm building the car.

Pick up an engine to build. Has the good block with high nickel and 4 bolt main. Also found a socket wedged by the oil preesure switch. Wonder how long it was riding there and how long the mechanic looked for it.

Well let me tell you what I paid for but never received. Great looking dash, leather steering wheel, taillights, reverse lights, and door panel. From two different guys advertising from another group. Both wanted payment friends and family, normally I refuse that but I wanted those parts! And what do know after several weeks Both guys blocked my communication. Now I’m going to my credit card company to report the scam and see if I can get refunded. Just goes to show ya, not everyone is as good as this group. Live and learn….. again

John, you're a grey interior right? I tripped over a pair of lowers the other day that need work.



You make a fair offer and work with me a bit on my treatment schedule and they can be yours. Normally if have the other stuff but currently can't get there

 

[john87442]

Ok sounds great, I appreciate that, not sure what you’re thinking but please let me know and we can work it out according to your schedule. I’m looking for the upper with door pulls and the rear defrost trim plate. Not in a hurry. Interior won’t go in for a year.
