What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[pontiacgp]

Drove my GP today to pick up parts for the Jeep. Now I'm sitting here watching The Hallelujah Trail downing a bottle of wine with a pizza and will move to beer once the wine is done. After working on my Jeep today the movie makes me wish I had lived in that era when all you needed to do to have horse power is to shoe and feed them. There was no computers on a horse back then....

Yeah, but they bite and kick, too. The Romans did horsepower with four horses side by side in front of a lightweight chariot...

Started installing the 383 Blueprint crate into the wagon. It's sitting in there now and just need to get a few more things set up before firing up.

wasn't today, but 2 days ago...

my 86 cutlass has been staying at my buddie's house about 30 miles away, so the neighborhood nazi's will stay off my back for too many cars... I went out to help him do some repairs on his truck, and while I was out there, I fired up the cutty and took it up the road a couple of miles. I ran/shifted great, right up to the point it ran out of gas!

since I bought it and refreshed the engine and towed it to his place (still trying to get the titlework straight) this has been the most the thing has moved under it's own power in almost 10 years! I think this coming year will be the year to finally give it the respect it's due!

I got mad at a comment my wife made the other day, so I took out my anger in a constructive way. About a month ago, I found a new mechanic - an old guy almost retired. He did some mechanical crash repair on my mother-in-law's Scion, and I was impressed with his work for what he charged. Today he set up the 3.73 gears on the 30-spline Auburn in the GN axle I found for the coupe. $200 cash. He tried out the set-up tool I bought to try to teach myself, and liked it. He's agreed that he'll coach me on the next axle I bring him (when work slows down enough that I can take a weekday off...) The Moser axle shafts dropped right in, no issues. He left the crossshaft pin and the cover bolts loose so I can repeat the LS1 brake conversion I did on the wagon axle....

Picked up bucket seat and console and column to convert my mcss to floor shift

Been working on and designing my rear seat delete. Still more work to do.

Nice fabrication! Just about the right space for a 70 quart beer cooler.
