      Very cool ride man. I just went through all your posts to see what all you have done, impressive. I like how you're doing a G-Body and showing the potential of these cars, very nice.

      Video on my broken rear....

      We went in and took it all apart and nothing seemed bad or broken. There was some cone/clutch material in the fluid though. We put it all back together with new pinion bearings and will use thicker 75-140 gear oil and see what happends.

      Isn't that show a re-run? lol

      Did you check the bearings out at the wheel end of the axle? Might just need to be snugged back up?

      Tonight I found this out......

      Seems like something hit the adjuster and broke it off. The other shock still has the adjuster on it..but it is all bent too. What could have hit this adjuster?? It sits in the front lower control arm spring cup.......no idea.

      This is the second Inline Tube brass prop valve I have installed...the first one leaked out of that lil front valve/button thingy.



      New Aluminum Master Cylinder...my old one started leaking randomly as soon as I replaced that prop valve!!

      Now I am going to do a lil write up on the install of the GNS Performance Fender Brace kit for a G-Body


      Here is the kit all layed out and tools at the ready. All you need is a 7/32 allen wrench and a 9/16 wrench. I did put some anti-seize on the hardware since they are all stainless steel.



      Contact info...had to give the company free plug!!

      First step was to find out where the fender mounting brackets were going to go. These were meant to bolt onto the third fender bolt on a Grand National Fender. A Monte Carlo SS doesn't have this bolt so a hole had to be drilled. I assembled the braces and found where the hole will be placed. After center punching and drilling the hole this was the result.



      I found some black hardware in my shop and bolted the "L" bracket to the inside of the fender. I used a nylon lock nut.



      I was curious as to how my Harwood Cowl hood would fit with these fender braces intalled so I checked the hood clearance with some putty. The hood has no clearance issues!!

      The passenger side brace installs the same way as the drivers side!! Find the correct position for the fender brace mounting bracket, drill the hole and install it. It's that easy!! GNS Performance does include a direction sheet in the package that explains how much tension each brace needs..











      These fender braces install easy, are a quality product, and look killer under the hood!! I drove the car with these installed over 300 miles this weekend and they did not come loose and performed perfectly!!
