What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

Bah! Build your own - you'll hate yourself later.

PS. I hate your bumper and tail lights.

PPS. I am really just a jealous b!tch.

Mike,
I've considered fabricating my own, but between chasing down the metal, having it cut properly on a water jet or laser cutter, it just wasn't worth my time.
Besides, they build these things like a brick sh*t house. I don't think my concoction would be quite as strong. My welder is a lighter duty unit, so that would work against me. All in all, I'm very happy camper. It includes all the proper hardware, so no chasing around for that.

Just so we're clear: I was suggesting that building your own was a far worse option.

Picked up a set of edelbrock elite valve covers for my Pontiac 400 build for $20.

No, I just respect his wisdom. And they say you get lots of wisdom with age. And Jack is really fuggin' old.

I trust his judgement and frail hips to make the best choice for him.

Called the insurance company and reactivated the 442's insurance for the season.... and of course we have torrential downpours and high winds all day.

Okay, I'm sorry I misunderstood. It's not a difficult or complicated design by any means, but like you suggested, it is a far worse option. I picked the lesser of two evils.

Okay, don't rub it in. I know I'm an old f**ker. Hey, but I'm still vertical. 😛 I may have some wisdom stored up, but I'm not a guru by any stretch.

Got a little more done, Got the passenger seat tracks off now just waiting for the POR15 to come in before I sandblast them. Got the sun visor mounts on but must be stuck on stupid because I can't get the new visor onto them now😡 Also got a few pieces to raise the center console over the shifter and then got a bracket to mount the rear of it. Now I just have to fab something up
