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

Finally replaced my front bumper struts. Over six years ago I messed up and bumped the driver side of the bumper and collapsed the strut. It seemed impossible to find a stock replacement for a reasonable price. Motionraceworks came out with solid mounts and I must say I was very impressed with the quality of the product. I know these will now transfer any low impact straight to the frame but I am willing to take that risk. It’s very nice to see the bumper straight again after all these years. 
Today, so far, nothing. Yesterday I spent some time adding still more tacks to the lower flange on the inner door skin and dressing it all down with Cousin Dremel and its attachments. Today is supposed to be bark up the compressor day re complete a full refill which I can then vent to empty to clean out the tank and water trap of any crap or crud that may have attempted to find a home. The sight glass on the compressor pump shows clean oil so not going for a drain and refill on that right now.

I realize it’s probably too late now, but Kirban sells aluminum versions too.
Wish I knew you were in the hunt. AFAIK I have a 78 sport coupe bumper assembly in the back of my 79 silverado in the warehouse in West springfield.
According to Hollander, 112a is the 78-79 regal part, which is same as a 78-79 2dr cutlass. But Hollander also says 127 is a 78-79 2dr cutlass. And 127 is what a gmc sprint/caballero/Diablo cross checks as.
Long story short I'd have given you the pair for the banana if I was around and we were able to meet up. Do try to get up there a couple times a year. They'd be... used and dirtier than what you bought with assuredly surface rust from sitting for 40 years, although the car had 40k on it when wrecked and parted.
But, if you want to try to do some research on your own as to whether it's something that might work and would want to one day swap back to gas charged, just let me know. Offer will stand if they're still there.
I wasn’t able to find those but the el Camino needed a 4.125” spread between mounting surfaces. I know pretty much every other gbody has a 6.5” spread.
Thank you for the offer! If you ever come by San Diego let me know. Always happy to meet fellow enthusiasts
The govna in the fine state of NY passed muffler and exhaust noise legislation. So I figured I better get compliant , because that’s the type of person I am :-0 .
And shockingly 2 Cherry Bombs did quiet it down enough to make it comfortable.
And was able to get it out for the 1st time of the year after more winter upgrades than I can count in both hands. Mother Nature finally complied.
Bottom center number is speed. 75 at 2200 with converter locked in OD - it’s a very happy place.

Made my own set of adapters for the Hella H4 conversion headlights I'll be ordering soon. They come with Hella's own but mine are all Packard with salvage wires from a hacked up front lighting harness. Should do the same for the H1 conversion headlights since it'll look more factory like.
Was helping my buddy with his LSA upgrade on his Monte, getting real close to firing up. When leaving I noticed him sitting on the ground behind my car. Dang exhaust tone down the cam chop but its still there....
