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

    Was that meant to be a black & white shot or does it just appear that way? I like it.

    Nothing better than the garage with friends, beer, and good tunes.

    8D404FC8-8958-470F-9C8A-E2F307107A44.jpeg We got an original 1979 Hurst Olds cutlass for my 14-year-old from Mike Sobotka. She and I pulled the radiator out of it. Looking forward to souping it up a little bit and making it super reliable for her to drive as her daily! We will add the nitrous and posi next year. We will pull all the peripherals off Tuesday and start planning for headers and true duals along with a few other things like a FlowKooler water pump. All of the AIR stuff along with EGR and smog system components will be removed

    She has expressed the desire for the car to be loud, I’ll probably add some exhaust cut outs.

    Anything you guys can suggest for us would be great! I heard these 79 cars have a problem with the heads cracking. I wondered about the integrity of the camshaft as I remember that Chevy cams in 1978 all went bad.

JennyS sold the car and so now me and my better-half are trying to provide my daughter with something cool that she can drive every day. Mike Sobotka has helped us in more ways than you can imagine. Thank you Mike!
