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

Finally was able to get my front suspension back together after 2 months of being apart. Couldn't get the big block springs compressed enough to bolt the spindles to the control arms since there is no hood, engine, trans, nose and bumper on it at the moment. bit the bullet and bought QA1 coilovers for the front and went together like butter after that. Planned on getting the brakes and new steering linkage all in place yesterday but the family had other plans. maybe one night this week I'll get to it.

Looks great!

Am curious to know: Which 18" wheel sized did you end up going with ?
18 x 8" fronts / 18 x 9" rears?
&
What size tires?
Any rubbing?

Can you measure the ride height of the car ....from ground to centre lower edge of wheel opening mouldings (front & back)

please & thanks

Yes, they are 18x8 front 18x9 rear. tires are nitto nt05 245 40 18 front 285 35 18 rear. I can measure ride height when I get home.

F*ckin fuel line is leaking. I filled up the tank, and the feed line is dribbling from about the prop valve to just past the door. I can see the beads of gasoline all along the line. Bought a 6' section of 3/8 steel line to replace the bad section, don't have the time nor the money right now to replace the whole thing, though I hope to have that done by the end of the year. Also, I guess my car is a 3 line system. A vent, return, and a feed. Vent and return run over the cross member to the passenger side, feed (along with a brake line) comes up the driver's side on a 231 car, I guess. Never really paid much mind to it. It's all hooked up, just never paid attention I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's not enough to be alarming, but it's enough to make about a dinner plate sized stain over the course of about 24 hours.
