    Any central FL guys....

    I'm trying to get my MECP Advanced certification and need some more verifiable on the job experience before a potential employer will hire me. I've been doing mobile audio/video for about 8 yrs now, but apparently my word isn't good enough. I can do fiberglass enclosures, pods, kicks. MDF boxes...

    85 GN rims

    I have 3 good rims w/ ok caps, and a 4th w/ some curb damage and no cap. I'd like to get $135 plus shipping, but its definitely negotiable. The rims are stored about 30 miles from me, so I can get pictures if interest is generated. Thanks

    Original GN rear seat

    This is for the seat covers ONLY, and not the seat frame. They came out of an 85 parts car that I came across a while back. Upon first inspection they looked to be absolutely perfect, but after removal I came across a small problem area. On the back, top part of the seat, where it starts to...

    15x9" rim question

    I have a set of 325/50's I picked up....the frame is notched to the inside rail and the fenders are rolled. I originally planned on a 10" rim w/ 5.5" BS, but it seems the style of rim I chose only comes 15x10 or 15x9 w/ 5". What would look better between the 2? I'm looking to tuck the tire in as...

    As you can see from the picture, it's rusted pretty bad. It off a northern car, so I guess it can be expected. The drums are being replaced w/ alum. ones, and the brakes and such are to be replaced. What's a good way to get this thing looking decent? I've heard some stuff about that por-15...

    How many WPM can you type?

    I know this is an off subject, but thought it would be cool. Both my wife and I know we type very fast but being as competitive as I am, we had to go head to head. My best was 72wpm w/ 95% accuracy, hers was 70wpm w/ 94%. I googled WPM test and chose the first link, and did the first choice of...

    Alum. Oxidation

    I have cast aluminum intake on my car, bought brand new, the motor has only ran enough to break the cam in. My problem is the big cowl induction hood that lets all kinds of moisture and general crap in. I know I need to invest in a car cover, but thats besides the point. But anyway, the intake...

    Need fan mounting opinions

    I'm in the process of doing the cooling system in my car. Keep in mind this is a factory N/A Regal. I decided to go w/ a Valeo dual fan and an alum. radiator w/ the same core size as the stocker. I tackled all the rest of the electrical and relay wiring today and ran into some issues w/...

    Man, times have changed!!

    It's probably been 6 or 7 years since I've been in the turbo buick scene. My dad raced his GN for years and got into the low 9's w/ a 74 turbo switched to an 88 and was poised to run w/ the big dogs, but then had some misfortune. But man, its crazy...Now that I'm older, and realize more what...

    ??? concerning dual fans

    I have a BBC regal, and I have no existing relay for Hi/Lo speeds for a fan. I understand that the green and yellow wires are for Hi/Lo power, but I'd like to always have the fans run on high, as I planned on hardwiring them w/ a toggle switch since this is primarily a drag car. Can I just leave...

    seat covers

    I'm looking for some cheap slip on type seat covers. My seats are getting bad and unfortunately I can't afford to redo them right now. Anyone have any recommendations on a cover that matches the GN interior fairly well? I had some years ago, but can't recall where I got them. Thanks
