I used to have an '86 442, T-tops, Grey & Silver. Some stupid lady ran a red light and t-boned it. Hit it on the driver's side, just behind the driver's seat, so hard that it opened the passanger side T-top opening up by 1/4" to 1/2"!

I took pictures of it, but I have never found the film... argh!

Does this mean we get our own section if we meet the Quota?

Ralph LoGrasso

10-10-2006, 02:20 PM

It is a thought, but overall we like vehicle unity on pro-touring.com. Segregation gets tough because if we give one make/model their own forum, then all of the other makes want the same thing. We'll see, though.

GBodyGMachine

10-10-2006, 02:36 PM

I agree with you about the segregration. I think the unity idea is better. Just throwing an idea out there.

These are getting more and more popular by the day. Now if we could just get the aftermarket to fill some of our needs we'll be fine.
If companies like Goodmark, OPG & others would put a little more R&D into the G-bodies they might realize there is a REAL market out there for them to invest in. Thats if they haven't already started to look into it. Just my opinion.

MonzaRacer

10-14-2006, 10:15 PM

I got a friend who has aneither 85 or 86 Grand Prix 305, auto. power windows/locks.
I am picking it up so I can drop my old 402 BBC in it for a solid storage container AND the engine doesnt sit under a tarp again through most of a winter.
And the still running 305 will go into my 77 Monza till my FI 283 is done as i am looking for 2 more 040 forged flat tops and another rod(machine shop friend hasnt dug one up yet and without a garage) and I intend to hook both car up with Air Ride Technologies. I al ready have it on my 78 C10 (soon to get a 91 R model dog house and a better bed.
I intend to pull the 9000 series bags out of my truck as its my tow vehicle and daily driver and swap in a set of the 9100 (I think thats it. The 2000lb springs), get the brackets and swap the 9000s into the rear of the GP.
The fun part is I am also redesigning the suspension on my Hbody so soon Ill have it burning corners with the best of them.
By the way could/does anyone have good , honest to God measurements on the proper 17 or 18 in wheels to fit this GP with max width and not rub.
I have to get different wheels and can get a set of Ralley type copys in either steel or custom aluminum but need width/back space.
And had anyone ever done the Southside Machine liftbars/73-77 12 bolt Chevelle swap. I know they make a set to install the older 12 bolt and have a LOT of extra gears as a local friend has been swaping gears sets like I change my underwear (well ok I change everyday he seems to change every week but you get the idea).
I prefer the strength of the 12 bolt and my buddy has lots of 12 bolt parts sooooo.
Thanks

How can you NOT own in a '78-'88 A/G ride :)

Since Nov '96 I've owned my '79 Cutlass Calais. (this is the 'sport' model that the '79 H/O was based off)

Since Feb of '05 I've owned my '87 Cutlass Supreme Brougham.

Too bad GM stopped the MT option after '80(?)

Also late to the roll-call. 1980 Buick Regal Limited that has been in the family from day one. Started as a 3.8L 2bbl V6, now has a L98 TPI 350 (EFI intact) with a 200R4 overdrive trans. Modified GN Buick exhaust system. Boxed lower control arms, boxed upper and lower rear trailing arms. 3:42 gears with an Auburn limited slip. 1989 Iroc front springs and quick ratio steering box. F41 front and rear sway bars, and frame reinforcements. 16X8 GN Wheels with 225 50 16 Fuzions.

Looking to do the GW UCAs with the 12" B body spindles and 1LE rotor, and installed the 1989 rear Iroc disk brakes.
Wanted to keep the car looking grand-ma like, although the exhaust kind of gives it away, to keep with the sleeper look.

Only if it got rid of the 4-link and went to a Watts-link or something that allows the solid axle to articulate more. That is just for starters...

frankenstang

11-08-2007, 09:27 AM

Let me correct my first post. When I say we I mean my boss (Jeff). We use a triangulated 4 link like the existing design. The links are tubular steel with teflon-lined spherical rod ends. QA1 coilovers are standard and there's a Air-ride option. This is of course for our existing A body and 1st gen camaro and mustang applications. Call Jeff at the shop if you would like more clarification. www.schwartzperformance.com I think we can convince him to build one if there is enough interest.

hey....QUESTION FOR ALL YOU G BODY GUYS......my buddy has an 80 Grand Prix thats hes had for like 15 yrs.......nice paint.....nice 350.....has really kept it up.....the other day he noticed the trailer hitch was a little c ockeyed .....upon further inspection found the drivers side of the frame had cracked on the downside of the loop over the rear wheel.......Ive heard this is fairly common but can it be fixed??.......my friend is bummed out over this to say the least.........doug

It depends on the damage and how much frame metal is left. Usually the frame has been rotting for some time by the time you see the cockeyed bumper. I simple replaced the whole frame on my malibu when I got it with a good one. They are cheap enough and probably an easier fix than repairing the old one. Plus you can box the new one before you install it and notch it also if you want to. I pretty much jacked my car up, removed the frontend, and then unbolted the old frame. Rolled the new one (with all new frontend parts, engine, tranny, rearend, etc) back under the body. What a difference to the "same" car.

On a sad note, my malibu now has a new home and zip code guys, just could not keep em all.

Well I'm new here, and while I have not begun my new project, when I do it will be a '86-'88 Monte SS. My first car back in the day was a '86 SS and I still regret getting rid of it. So my plans are to get another one in memory of the old one and do everything that I wanted to (but couldn't afford to) do back then.

Over 2 years ago I brought my 81 Malibu classic to a guy to have a cage installed. Things went very wrong and I chased after it and eventually got the police involved and they located the guy in a hospital. I got my Malibu back just before Memorial Day weekend. Got it painted it over the holiday weekend and color sanded it on Memorial day. The cage is being finish welded this weekend and then I'll buff the paint and start reassembly. Color is Audi Imola Yellow. I'll be puting a new black vinyl Laundau roof back on. Interior is now black with race buckets.

Sold my 42,000 mile 88 Cutlass Supreme Classic survivor yesterday.

Way late to the party. As my name states I have a 79 malibu with a 6 speed transmisson from a 96' camaro. It was organilly going to have a tune port engine but now plans changed and im looking into building a 400 h.p. ls engine and using an ls 6 speed. Ill try to get up picks. So far this project has taken 8 years. The body was pulled off the frame and blasted. Then painted torch red. Before I was a member, I thought I was hi tech with all the hotchkis suspension upgrades front and rear. I used eibach springs and bilstien shocks. It has a monte SS steering box. The clutch pedals are form an 80 cutlass. I planned on some budnik wheels(fontanas) but ater hearing that they are way behind and take forever to get a set I feel let down and lost. The car used to roll on Weld Evo 44's in 16"x8"s and I thought they were big back then. I plan on notching the frame and using an 18x 10 back wheel with 295-35-18 bfg rubber.

Hello all

Add another too this roll call.

Recently my wife and I have been frequenting the Gatlinburg TN area, we both agreed rolling thru those awesome twisted roads in the family car jus aint cuttin it.:drive1:

So gotta get the Regal (now that I got running good) up to par to handle those roads.

Dont think the 15x7 GN rims in all 4 corners,the 205/60/15 tires in front,and the 275/60/15 in the rears are the best set up to truely enjoy those roads on.

I have poly bushings front and rear stock suspension,with GN front rear sway bars, and faster ratio power steering gear box from a GN.

I just recently got for free realy nice set of 245/50/16's, maybe thats a start.

Heres a link to A web site I started for Big Block G-bodied owners,
it's small and it's new but check it out.
I named it 7.5 G's

I have an '81 and '78 Malibu. The '81 is a bit of a junker body-wise, but I put a mild 350 (Vortec heads, GMPP intake, Edelbrock carb, Comp XE268H cam, headers) in it, and it's currently got a Saginaw 3-speed (3.50:1 1st gear) with 2.29s in the 7.5". I also have a set of Hotchkiss springs, Belltech drop spindles, 34mm F-Body sway bar, F41 frame braces in the front, and a stock G-Body rear sway bar.

84 SS, just getting it back on the road after an 8 year hibernation, new engine, tranny, steering box, all under the hood is new. Some other updates here & there, a 2"/1" drop this month, tires/wheels will follow maybe next year, yeah, budget went out the window this year.
I'll own this SS another 20 years.

My car is not Pro touring. I did get hooked up with the procharger from Frank at Prodigy customs from this site. Finally getting it together, have not gotten any horsepower numbers yet. Hoping for 4 digit hp. numbers.

'84 Cutlass here! Former Drag Car, now multi-purpose car: drag, pro-touring.

Current motor is a 11 sec 403 Olds...I am not lying, now detuned to 12 sec motor for drivability...and a little ease on my wallet.

Still on the fence for wheels. LOVE the BS Fastlanes on her, like to go 17 versions but are soooooo heavy. Any suggestions?

Here are some pics of the car and power plant.

hey Dave! nice to see more ROP guys here. I'm a big fan of your car, and am basing my 403 build on yours and a couple others from ROP.

what are your plans for the Cutlass?

G-bodies for the win! I have three. My baby is my 1982 Monte Carlo SS (clone), and I also have a 1981 Buick Regal, and a 1982 El Camino. The Monte Carlo was my first car I bought it when I was 14 (I'm 20 now) after mowing lawns all summer and it is getting the pro-touring treatment now. The Regal is a car I built as a driver for my brother to use until his GTO is finished. I have no pics of the El Camino I just bought it three days ago.

This is before my tear down of the Monte for its pro-touring treatment.

84 Monte Carlo . . . previously done, back to the drawing board.

Currently powered by a Vortec 5.7L with RPM Air-Gap intake, topped with a Demon 650cfm carb. Still has original, very scary stock suspension. I re-did the body when I was 16 (7 years ago). It looks alright but it needs to be tightened up and freshened.

Plans include a full suspension rework, starting with new bushings and C5 Corvette brakes, followed by a full-on regame including re-engineered geometry and frame stiffening.

Zexel Torsen Posi with 28 spline axles out of G.N.
Front end currently apart using Napa "unbreakable" ball joints, need inner and outer tie rods, center link, and idler arm, bushings...
ZQ8 spindles with C5 calipers and 13in rotors
Still haven't decided on the wheels and tires though...
Drop springs still unsure if im going to use MOOG 5658's or some aftermarket ones..
Car came with the F41 suspension package and i finished collecting most of all the other bracings.
Non a/c heater box install.
Heavy Duty Radiator with dual fans out of intrepid still figuring out the wiring......
Thats all i can remember for now but i have owned it for over 11 years now and just can't seem to get done with it...lol BTW here are more pics. Let me know what you think:smoke:
