    Trunk Torsion Bars to Struts/Shocks For Fiberglass Deck Lid, 80s G Bodies Swap?

    I have that GM kit installed- and I recall the lift being like “120lbs of leverage support”. You can’t compress them by hand as you noted… man, they’ve got to be too much for the ‘glass lid.

    GN Hoodliner Insulation 2022, Aftermarket or Custom?

    Can also look at QuietRide. I patterned our GBody hood stuff for them back in 2016. They do have a AcoustiShield set up for our hoods, and an alternative “hood pad” design.

    Front Bucket Seat Foam/Cushion - need opinions

    I did the Mike’s Montes foam, in low back. Used my old foam to fill in the few channels in the new seat bottoms and all turned out well. Reused my old covers too with no drama. Hardest part was getting the headrest to release (hacksaw blade for the win). That was back in 2016 and they feel...

    Wendys Night!!! Oct. 20. 2018

    Getting the car out and cleaning up. Looking good for tonight. I’ll be towards the rear of the Costco lot after I get gas... planning 6pm. Think some folks will be over in the Home Depot lot across the intersection- either way we can roll over to Wendy’s around 615.
