Jeffrey Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Some say my car was an instant classic, and being 20 years old I think it would now qualify as a classic, so here we go. 1987 Buick Grand National, have owned it for 3 years now and am slowly starting the restoration/performance aspect of it all. As far as performance I am almost to where I want to be, just some minor parts here and there and it will meet the goals I had set when I bought the car. As far as the restoration side I am getting there, the windshield was just replaced with new outer seals, the window and door seals will be done later this year. The interior is nearly done except for a new A-pillar piece and recovering the drivers seat. Once all that is done the body will be stripped and prepped for paint with every seam, line, and gap set back to exactly where the factory wanted it and maybe a little tighter. New hood emblems and new rear bumper fillers, new bumper moldings....ect. Although the car now is in decent condition, when I am done I am hoping for a near show car that will see track duty occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan900 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 1969 Chevy Camaro 400 Small Block chevy motor TH350 Transmission I have had the car for about 6 years. I have done alot to it but there is so much more to do. As soon as I get the new house mod finished I plan on taking the car down to bare metal and starting over. The car overall is pretty slow, but its basically a stock bottom end 400, with a set of double hump 64 cc heads and an outdated edlebrock intake. Along with the body redo I plan to build a 383 that should be decent, and unfortuately I will have to get my tranny rebuilt as well. http://columbusht.com/uploads/Tunstall_1.jpg http://columbusht.com/uploads/DSC0896.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgbdbn Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have a 71 dodge dart swinger bought it off of a guy in San Diego and drove it home. Had a slant six in it, replaced that with a big block. It runs but is being torn down for a rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
