Nice Meats. Did you notch the frame to fit them in?

No. I installed a C4 Corvette rear end into my Regal, and added the GNX flares. No notch, no other mods. 17 x 11.5" rims

I didn't like the DRL I had set witht he high beam headlight so I decided to use the front turn signals for a DRL cause they are brighter than the parking lite. I installed the capacitor, resistor and diodes so the pulse signal changes to a constant so it would shut down the relay for the DRL whichever side the turn signal is on. You can see the turn signal is working as the lite does blink but the light stays on continuously. In that line I have the diode set up, capacitor, resistor, diode and then the relay for each side. I saw a diagram that has the diode before the capacitor so I guess I"ll redo the set up tomorrow and see how that works. I'm thinking the resistor I used is a bit weak though.

Like the tire marks. Between snows, you can go out every day in the winter and be reminded of yesterday's drive....

Somebody left a candy cane the other day on the main road out out of my neighborhood. I chuckle at how close he got to the curb. Hope his seat is dry by now....

Changed the fuel sending unit, fought with a stubborn ps pump pulley, added a fuel return line and finished putting my exhaust together.

Did this about a week or so ago, but finished my mini tub, and started painting the frame. Got the frame 100% painted this past weekend.

Welded up the doors on the 78 Cutlass after removing the crash bars a few months ago. Put doors back on and got the adjusted. Now have to weld up the drivers door jamb sheet metal where the striker is. Hinges sagged so bad that it cracked the metal around the striker.

The Sweet steering knuckle I needed to use the Safari steering shaft and for the spline on the Delphi 600 steering box came in so I took a trip to the Grisdales to pick it up. it's kind of a pricey item at $95 but there is no way around it and Sweet makes some great parts. If I had purchased the 600 box I would have ordered it with the GM spline but getting the box donated makes the knuckle seem like a real bargain.

Slamming the doors will crack the striker area as well.i kick people out for slamming my doors.my doors close real nice,like new.i do need to do pins and bushings on the drivers side.

Definately needs an alignment now.
