    starter issue

    None of the studs on the solenoid are loose, are they? How old are your battery cables? Any chance of corrosion on/inside them?

    Aftermarket a-arm wheel clearance

    I don't think there is that much of a difference either, but I still wouldn't be surprised if there was a minor difference. I've also wondered about how much trouble it would be to stretch the fenders outward about 2-2.25" to clear the same wheels up front, which is about all that would be...

    New Product! 78-88 G-Body Shock and Spring Lowering Kit

    That does, thanks :) I probably wouldn't try it on a stock arm without some type of reinforcement, I'm just paranoid I guess. I remember a while back when 10secbu was working on dialing in an older setup with coilovers, he came down hard from a launch and messed up a lower a-arm... I think that...

    Aftermarket a-arm wheel clearance

    Can anyone say with a level of certainty that they've gained wheel clearance on the back side of the a-arms with aftermarket/tubular setups? I'm trying to figure out a way to fit wider wheels with more backspacing in the front, to match the back. This is one of the major hurdles us...

    New Product! 78-88 G-Body Shock and Spring Lowering Kit

    This looks like a nice solution for me... too bad it's way out of my current price range. Mine sits about right where I want it, but I'm at my maximum backspacing because of interference with the wheel/steering knuckle (2" spindles). I want to be able to gain a little more backspacing but due...

    Grand Prix 2+2 rear seats... actual 2+2 seating?

    I'm just spitballin', it was an idea that popped into my head and I figure it's something I may try to do down the road. I'm just putting the original stuff in for now, this is something I'll look further into once I get it out to AZ.

    Grand Prix 2+2 rear seats... actual 2+2 seating?

    I kinda figured... I'd never seen any pictures and my searches didn't turn up anything I could see... they were all of the front.

    Grand Prix 2+2 rear seats... actual 2+2 seating?

    Yeah... this is more what I'm thinking... I doubt I would ever have more than 2 people in the back seat honestly.

    Grand Prix 2+2 rear seats... actual 2+2 seating?

    I figure 2+2 as a regular seat back, but the bottom is like a bucket seat.

    Grand Prix 2+2 rear seats... actual 2+2 seating?

    I've been doing a little looking and haven't found any rear seat pictures of the 2+2 GPs... are they an actual 2+2 setup similar to the '80s Camaro/Firebird? I've been considering seeing if the rear seat bottoms from the F-Bodies would fit, and either putting some carpet in the center or coming...

    Re: I need pics of Pontiac Super Duty type scoop on malibu h This scoop? Look up user DaveC, at least I think that's who I'm thinking of. He has a '60s Hemi scoop on his, looks pretty mean imo.

    green interior panels ???

    Dixie Monte Carlo has green door panels and the little cardboard filler panels next to the armrests under the 1/4 windows, I've seen carpet somewhere too. I was originally thinking an all black interior, but now I'm thinking about waiting to see if they start making 1/4 window trim. My lower...

    green interior panels ???

    I remember seeing them, it's just a question of where. When I'm back home I'll try to remember to check the typical sites (mikes montes, ss396, dixiemontecarlo, opgi, etc.).

    Cleaners for harness connections?

    I've kinda wondered the same thing. I cleaned the male side some by spraying Purple Power (or other strong degreaser) onto the bulkhead, letting it sit, then scrubbing it with a stiff bristled brush, repeating if necessary. I put dielectric grease on all the connections as well.

    Maliburacing gallery (Post your car)

    Thanks :) The lips on the rear need to be rolled/trimmed to clear the tire though, otherwise they'll slice the sidewall to smithereens. I'm really considering either some aftermarket lower a-arms to use with the springs (possibly with a tall balljoint or with some suspension drop built in), or...

    Here're a few... gotta run the wheels up front until I either get some different wheels or different spindles.

    Cam or not

    Voodoo cams seem to be popular, same with the Xtreme Energy, I have one in my 350 and it's a bit of a screamer with Vortec heads.

    17x9 with 275 on the front

    It's sitting on its own in those oics, but I put some other wheels on the front for now. I don't want to risk messing up the fenders and unless I get a pair of regular spindles again I won't be able to run any more backspacing... it wouldn't make a major difference anyway because I would wind...
