This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Here's the Buick i've been working on for my buddies wife. Swapped v6 for 1972 455, and gave it a nice makeover, and for those that read my post on Edelbrock intake gasket issues the Felpro steel valley pan gasket fixed the intake leak, lesson learned.

    This is how clean this car was after pulling and pressure washing the frame. Car only has 18,054 original miles on body.

    Here's some random pics from the build.

    That’s a slick looking car. Good job! They’re a great design, it just takes a few tricks (additions and deletions mainly) to set it off. (Kinda like the ‘94-96 Impala SS).
