Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

My dad used to have a 68 Firebird... I would love to have one of these.. Looks like you have a one with lots of potential.

LOL - true, but that thing handles better than anything I've ever seen. Can't see the '17 being leaps and bounds better in any way. Can't get much better than it is. He's got aftermarket wheels and rubber that are quite a bit wider than stock, too. Thing sticks like glue, although not much will at a possible 680 at the rear wheels. :)

Started putting the new headlights in the Coronet today. Got the old wiring out and cleaned up, then cut the headlight buckets to fit the new halogen lights. Tomorrow it all gets installed, just need the paint to dry tonight...

These are going in. They have a white halo, which I'm thinking of not using. If I do it'll be as the running lights...

 

Just looking forward to being able to see at night. The new harness has relays in it which will greatly increase my light output for night driving...

 

Also going to start mocking out the gauge locations and order some aluminum for the dash and doors...

Got the lights done, halo's aren't hooked up yet (still trying to decide if I want them hooked up)...

 

It's much brighter now...

Painting the grille back to silver next and the heads are going on after easter...

 

 

And yes that's a multi cleaner bottle as my coolest over flow, it's on the list of to do's...

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
