What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2021]

[Ribbedroof]

In a shocking tempting of fate, I drove said coupe (I still think it hates me) home 35 miles today..without working speedometer, of course.

All in all, it's OK. Not what I was really after, but meh, until something nicer comes along, I guess I'll keep throwing small parts at it to see if I can make a decent car out of it.

About a mile into my trip, somebody honked. It was the wife of a former co-worker, wanted to know if I wanted to sell it. Like a fool, I said no. Sometimes, I just might be my worst enemy.

Oh, and the girl at the Arby's drive-through window said she liked my ride.

Bought a 6.0 LS motor for it... Gotta drive a few very boring hours to pick it up. (Very flat very boring eastern Kansas)

Yelled and cussed at it for sucking up all spare funds and it's still not enough.. not even close... I need cheaper hobbies or money to fall from the sky

It's not patched up.. my feelings are the same... I bought her a new heart to make up for all the things I said. .. so she doesn't leave me stranded somewhere. Lol.

Assembled the 350 I’m installing in the cutlass (Chevrolet valve covers in a Oldsmobile oh well) anybody know if that oil filter is going to be an issue? Has the oil cooler set up that’s why it sticks out like that

Thrashed pretty good on the car and got a pile of stuff done.
Got the driver side quarter glass installed. Put the headliner and rest of the interior trim back in. Glass guy came by today and we dropped the new windshield in.
The rear view mirror that came in the trunk of the car was smashed/snapped under the spare tire in the trunk when I got the car. I have a spare mirror out of an 80's Chev van. It's a bit to small to fit the mirror mount. Any ideas on what other mirrors fit?

Well boys I finally did it!
Not only the longest drive but I got to drive it home! 29 miles about an hour with some heavy traffic at the end. I took all back roads, It’s got some vibrations at higher speeds. Probably alignment or driveshaft.
I really wanna get a 4l80 the 3:73 with the TH350 kinda suck for cruising. It really did great. Never went over 201. Rode great, even got some thumbs up.
