Garage built Buick....GN

Baby's got back!

[Number1]

All I want to know is when should I bring my Monte Carlo frame. Because I'm loving EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carguykeith]

Those 345's look amazing under there! Also I hope you are a professional welder, because those are beautiful welds and make my junk look like... well... junk...

If you haven't welded those LCA mounts on yet, I would play with a 4-link calculator to optomize your anti-squat. I had to weld on lowering brackets to my axle LCA mounts but you could just raise your frame mounts and get the same results.

Wow, just went thru the thread and you've got an amazing ride coming together. Great ideas coupled with really nice fabrication skills.....I love how most of those body mods look factory.

I did get adjustable LCA mounts for the axle. They are an option from Moser when you order the rear. They are pretty nice you can see them in the bottom of the pic. I ordered the brackets loose so I can locate them where I need them. I did send my sway bar mounts to them and they welded those on to my center-to-center dimensions. I would do buisness with Moser again.

Haha I have my hands full with this one but thanks for the compliment!

[blade]

Nice work! You did a great job narrowing the frame.

Sigh.... Just went throught your build and it makes me sad... Cuz i can't fab for worth a crap and lack your talent!!! lol!! I like the way you fabbed the rear frame portion to fit those massive tires! Good job! Suscribed!

[67rag]

Guys... I must say how impressed at the work you have done. The fabrication work done at that car is amazing. I can't wait to see the car completed!

Keep up the great work!

Very nice work, I wish I had your welding ability.

Along the same lines as the anti-squat discussion for the lowers, I've found that the frame mounts for the factory uppers needs to be higher for lowered cars. This is even more of an issue if your UCA mounts on the rear end housing are higher than stock, which it appears they are. It would be a shame to do all of this work and not optimize the rear suspension geometry.

I thought about making a few different adjustment settings where the upper arms bolt into the frame by making three different hole positions. Just didnt get that far yet.

I'm sorry but far too much duration has elapsed since the last photo update!!! This is unacceptable!!! We need pics, dammit!

Solid build dude...funny enough I am evolving my '84 Cutlass from drag car to G-machine as well. Did not go as nuts as you did...makes me wish I did...haha.

[Tig]

Amazing build, everything looks great.
Your fab skills are spot on, great job.

[looter]

Jonesin for an update

[SparkyRnD]

that's going to be one hell of a killer G-body! Every time I see one being built, I think how cool it would be to have one.

I've been trying to get some work done so I actually have something to update. I did have some friends stop by and help me put the body on the frame temporarily. I needed to establish a ride height and check a few clearance concerns That I had.

[GNon18s]

The body being on is kind of teasing me really. It makes me wish I could just start putting the front clip on and finish up. I just needed to check a few things before moving forward with the chassis work.

Dude that is SICK

[GNon18s]

Dude that is SICK

Thanks man, I'm tryin'.

[carguykeith]

You NAILED the tuck on those steamrollers! It took me three times to get it just right and i didn't have anywhere near the fabrication into mine...
