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

[Algershick]

Brought home a replacement for my 301, a 1967 400!


During disassembly, found these little guys in the lifter valley and oil pan. Broken push rods. 😕

not only looks great it will stop stuff from falling into the opening and plugging up the drain hole...

Didn't feel like welding so I started this

Thank you. It is not a kit, I made all the panels. Took awhile to get the fit I wanted.

Thank You.

I did my front brakes. The pads would not fit over the rotors. See topic: https://gbodyforum.com/threads/weird-brake-pads-issue.61261/ Then I managed to break my front license plate bracket so I had to fabricate a new one. The broken one had rusted so this time I used a section of swimming pool top deck. It is made of extruded aluminum so that should hold up better.

Checked over the valvetrain today. So far so good!

I was about to track down a suspected vaccum leak, car studdered a little at light throttle and deceleration. When I removed the air cleaner I noticed I messed up my vaccum lines the other day and had the distributor vaccum line on a ported vaccum....🙂
