    rear linelock

    Has anyone ever tried a lineloc on the rear brakes? I thought that with it you could stall it up the same every time and leave off of the last bulb with the button.

    Gas tank leaking

    My gas tank on my 87 Regal started leaking, I pulled it and the right side is rusty. The junkyard interchange book says 86-87 turbo cars only and no one has one. Can you buy a new tank? If not what are my options? I don't think that repairing it is possible. Thanks
