We had the usual bugs to work out the last several days, but thanks to the hard work of Chris, Jeremy, Clark, Curt, and Jose Project Grocery Getter was a success! After shakedown runs last night and this morning, and a few last minute fixes, we hit the road for Nashville, TN and joined up with the Hot Rod Power Tour!We got there pretty late, but still had a chance to talk to Vic Edelbrock Jr and his wife and daughter, and speak to a few G-body fans.
If you were there and didn't see us, we will be headed to Indy in the morning (after a quick stop to the Vette Museum), and plan to spend the day there.
I'd also like to report that with zero extra tuning, we knocked down 26.3 MPG, and temps didn't go over 205 degrees, even in the 95+ degree heat. Not bad for a 500hp Grocery Getter.Joe Hinds

Thanks guys! Project Grocery Getter is now back with Tom in West Virginia, but I don't think you've seen the last of it! I have a few updates to make tomorrow, with lots of pics, but for now I'm beat after the thrash to get the car finished and Power Touring from Nashville to Muskegon. I left West Virginia midmorning yesterday, and just got home around 10 last night. I'm working on another project of sorts today (can't talk about it yet), but on a related subject we will be doing another G-body soon as a "shop car"... "Project GNxcess"! If anyone has or knows of a good straight Regal body somewhere in the southeast, please let us know. As the name hints, it will be turbocharged, but it won't be a V6!

We were late making it to Nashville, and got to Indy early...through a little creative parking, I was able to get the car inside the midway and park it right beside GMPP. We made it to Muskegon, but after a long couple of weeks in the shop (100+ hrs), and going straight into the tour, I was (and still am) completely beat. The rain leaving the hotel on Friday morning didn't help.Sorry I missed you, and the long hauler event. I'll be back next year, hopefully in a single turboed, LS powered '80s Regal

Ok, just uploaded some from my digital camera...there are more on my iPhone, and Chris has some on his camera too that we will get uploaded later. The exterior shots of the car are in front of the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Sorry for the lousy quality of the other pics...I was the driver and photographer.

Am I seeing this right that the crossmember is mounted to the bottom of the frame rails rather than on top like stock? Originally Posted by BulldawgMusclecars

I've read that this can be a body bushing issue, but this is a 20k mile car that we are starting with. Do you have any thoughts on this?Marc P.
