Or change on your Buick?

Got some tuning done by @bison at TB Nats. (Thank you!)
Installed axles and girdle.
Replaced body bushings.
Got the low voltage alternator issue resolved.

2018 accomplishments
1 - Rebuilt my Engine with more compression and new cam
2 - Got it 100% leak free for the first time ever
3 - Changed to 16 volt battery and 19 volt charging
4 - Tested out a few new parts I designed myself, such as the 45 tooth DS sensor and the Danny Bee 58X crank and cam pickup brackets as well as the external oil pump brackets. All CAD designed.
5 - Updated some of the wiring, made a new injector harness.

For 2019 -
1 - Convert to E98
2 - Stainless fuel cell

Buick (953).JPG
 
Organized (2) TB get-togethers. Drove the car all over South Texas attending many car shows, cruise nights, and rod runs. Won my 1st Best of Show award. Displayed at the local Buick dealer. Won my 54th car show in a row. Ended the year as a Top 5 performer, in the Bayou City Cup series of car shows. Bought (2) more GBody cars - 1978 Buick Century Aeroback (drove to Arizona) & 1978 Olds Cutlass Salon Aeroback (drove to Oklahoma). I'm tired.. I guess that's why I haven't started the car in 6 weeks..

Bought axles and girdle and several other parts, installed nothing....bought my 91 GT back after 11 years except it is turbo now and broke the trans. Worked azz load of OT to get my house paid off and almost there!
 
On my 87 gn I finally upgraded to a ls maf and a translator. Big difference. Finally replaced bumper fillers too. Upgraded fpr too. Car never ran better. On my 72 suncoupe finally had it painted and new top made for it. Got a lot of the parts for the 72 cleaned and readied for reinstallation.
 
Broke it on Jan 7, 2018......... Still broken.......... :confused:
 
Trying to fix issues with the car from 2017, 2018 fixed some now 2019 its apart even more

New washer, dryer, water heater & roof.

Bought another bike, but broke it.

Need a bigger garage.

Buick has been neglected....
 
Built a lot of engines and trannys as well as a few cars, got my ass kicked by the stage smoker and numerous other projects along the way. Most guys are happy , but a few are not.
 
Had passenger door painted due to cracking original paint. Won my first trophy at the 28th Street Metro Cruise. For 2019 I hope to have new body bushings installed. Maybe, depending on $$, have front seat foam replaced. Oh, I almost forgot, maybe wax it.:)
 
Haven't done much on the GN lately, I did get the electrical draw figured out thanks to my buddy Jack.
Been spending time on the two W Body Regals I own.

Wow...you are definitely quit the engineer and machinist. Nice work my friend!!
 
2018 was a great year car wise, but ended badly for me & my family.

I did this with my GN.

And sadly, my Father's funeral was Monday the 31st. :cry:

I have plans and goals with my car, but everything is up in the air at the moment.
I'm praying 2019 is a better year for me and my family.
