So last week I got so angry with my jeep i had to park it and started a different project..Go ahead yell at me

I have a 72 Buick GS with a 350. Its yellow with a white convertible top. White interior with power windows and a power bench seat..I put a set of remanufactured heads on(told they are a stage 1 set)as well as a matching cam. I ave a new intake manifold, with a rebuild Q-jet 4blr carb to go on.

I am half way finished the disc brake conversion, with new booster, master cyl, rotors, lines, calibers, and spindles. I have new carpet for it. All the metal has been replaced or addressed so its almost ready for a repaint.

I will post some pictures this weekend..

Even though my jeeps top doesnt come off I will still be able to cruise without a top... ;D

the gs has been in our family since 74. it was my wifes first car. i have had it sitting in my backyard since 01 collecting dust. All the body work was done by my father inlaw, he also gave me all the parts. I bought the brakes and carpet last year. So there isnt too much into this project yet..i just need time to wrench.

You know, it reminds me of my parents Grand Tourino. It was suppose to be my first car. Granted their was red but the body style is very similar.
great project. Keep up the good work
