It's been 3 years and oh, maybe 3 months since I parked thee Buick From Hell cuz of a knock. Torched rod bearing was the source of the knock, but it also had a blown head gasket, probably drove it like that for 20,000 miles afore the knock started...
Anyway, I got it back today! Too weird that the thing runs again! Runs GOOD too! Just for the record---I had Scott rebuild it bone-ass stock. Stock pistons, cam, lifters, the works....hell, since everyone says you can't make these cars fast, I said 'why bother'!
(it's fast enough for me, thank you!)
Got a few things I need to do to it, like it needs a windshield, and she be a clunkin' a tad in back (body bushings?), and the paint on the hood went to hell (stupid paint, didn't know it was already home!)
It's nice having it back now, since it's 21'st birthday is coming December 2nd! Can't believe I've had it that long... I'll have to take the thing out and get it drunk I guess, a little alcohol injection? Think I'll keep it out of the casino's though...
