:cool: You son should be proud of his new car and his father for looking after him like that. Looks good. I wish I had a cool MC back in high school to drive around. But I guess my 87 TurboCoupe was fun enough looking back. Congrats, good luck and teach him well.

:) Guys lets get the word out for the 31st! I plan on having my car up and running next weekend and will make it to the track if everything goes well. My main man Ray will be there for sure. Nick and some of the AZ crew are planning on comming also. :cool: I'd like to see the stage II guys...

Grant, so if I have a stock G80 posi rear end i'm out of luck with the mini spool. Is there any way around it? Or am I going to have to go with a spool and c-clip eliminators and race axels. :mad: Like you said, I don't have a lot of money to spend. I was just thinking of cheap ways to make...

If you have a stock radiator the fans almost fit within the grooves on the radiator. I took a grinding wheel to the plastic ends of the fans until they were narrow enough to slide into the grooves. On some cars they may fit without removing any material. Just check yours first. When done right...

well if they aren't for drag cars than what are they for. I know a lot of dirt track cars use them and I'm sure many drag racers do also. I doubt your experience in breaking one was the norm. Anyone else have an opinion?

I always thought the moldings were held on by clips which left holes in the panels. Well, last night I started yanking on them and to my surprise, they were just glued on. They came off real easy. Only problem, the paint under them is now darker than the stock 18 year old light blue. So my...

I'm getting ready to pull the axels in order to install some GM 3" studs. Since this is a strip only car, I think this may be a great time to add a mini spool. I've never done much rear end work but the install looks pretty easy. With the mini spool, the gears don't have to be removed, correct...

Jeff, I think I'll have to come out and support you guys. I was there last Saturday and there were no Buicks at all. Hope to see some good times. By the way, it's looks as if Carlsbad raceway is going to close sometime in September for good. I know there has been talk about this for the past 15...

MAD MAX (1979) & THE ROAD WARRIOR (Mad Max 2) (1981)

I ran across this ad and thought the car would be great for a turbo set up. It's a BUICK, it's light weight, and I think it would make one cool and rare ride! Someone in Florida should check it out. H-bodies rule! http://www.racingjunk.com/vc/159879/RARE_76_KENNE_BELL_BUICK_SKYHAWK.html

I'm in

Kentucky-Tennessee-North Carolina I've been around the country a few times, and it's hard to beat these three for some strange reason. Kansas and Nebraska get some points too!

Thanks for the imput. anyone eles have any advice/imput?

I just got some GM 3" studs part #22551491. They are longer than the ARP and plenty tough in my opinion. Just another option;)

Just wanting to get an idea of how much to ask for my Stock 100k 200-4R w/ stock converter out of my 86 T-type. The trans is in great working order but I'm going to a three speed for racing. My friend wants to buy it from me for use behind his 1986 Olds Cutlass w/ the 307. His is in bad...
