What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2022]

Got the 8.8 thrown in there. I need to fam up a mount for the upper coilover mount.

I was afraid I was going to have to make a trip down you way to fix it for you. Bad thing would been me making you go wait in that circle line that wraps around Chick-fil-a for payment of services. 😉

Don't speak so soon I ain't afraid of waiting in no line.... hahaha. Its not so clear cut as a grey wire for me, but just going to tap the instrument light one running off the fuse box

Changed #1 plug. Never had a plug break like this.

Plug doesnt look too bad tho with 27000 miles on it.

Also after 3 years of not doing it i finally stopped being lazy and loosened the choke adjustment so when i come out from the gas station the already warmed up car isnt drowning in fuel because the ****in wind made the choke close fast.

I hope my welds hold.

Your welds should be good since you used the clear hot glue.

and while it ain't stacked dimes, it also ain't bubblegum and is a nice clear line 👍

Did some work on my SS.

Re-installed the small hardware in the front Inner Fenders.
Torqued all bolts in the new solid Body Bushings.
Installed a bolt & nut back here where I had to drill out the broken one, then covered the hole with a plug.

Next weekend I'll make the suspension adjustments.

They look good. I've been searching for a set for mine but I have 16in which are somewhat limited in good looking tread patterns.

Thanks.... its the best i could get to keep the front and rear the same brand and type.

I originally wanted to get the same size wheels on all four corners, so it wouldnt much of an issue getting tires, but alas, that didnt work out.

I could have bought two more 17x8 for the front to match the rear, currently 17x7 in the front, but i did a test fit with one of the rear wheels. The tire is 27'' tall x 10" wide, from full turn clock to clock of the steering wheel, i have a good 1/4" clearence from everything on the passenger side front and back of tire, but on the driver side, the back side of the tire will rub on the steel brake line bracket that bolts to the frame, and the front side of the tire will rub on the front sway bar. So i had to keep the front wheels i have originally, plenty of clearence fully clocked from left to right, new front tires are the same width(8.9") as the old tires, but i lost 3/4" in height, and i went from 28.9" tall/10.8" wide from the old rear tires to 27" tall/10" wide with the new rear tires.

Old tires, Toyo Proxes 2, same front and rear, 225/55r17(front) and 275/55r17(rear).
