  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. 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

    Well,
    On saturday my step-sons Dustin and Dylan along with Eric and I went after the 1972 GS that Dustin(Buick Trainee) bought.Dustin was a little worried that it wouldn't make it home and decided to let my wheel it home.We took the Toyota with a tow dolly just for insurance.I have to say that it had a little stumble on take off but other than that it ran pretty darn good.It felt so good driving it home over 100 miles and I was king sh%$.You wouldhave thought I won the lottery or something.Its been awhile since I have driven mine legally on the road and this experience was very motivating.It made it home with no problems.It now sits comfortably in the next bay next to my 71 GS.We will be working on them all winter and if luck will have it in the spring,have a kick ass drag race to see who's king..LOLThe goal is to take them to the BPG Nats next year!Hopefull we get alot of winter overtime to help out.

    I am glad it made it all the way. At least it has a good home, it was only wasting away in my garage. I will regret selling it one day, but Pontiac's are in my blood. Good luck with it.

    Gerry,
    That car in Freds avavatar is the car that we now have parked at my mother-in-laws.I guess that they look identical.By the way, I sent the stuff out to you last week.It is really wierd to ship to Canada.You had the choice of regular mail for a few bucks and it would take 4-6 weeks or a buck more and it would get there is a couple days.I opted 2-3 days.Fred is really a stand up guy also.He was very honest and up front about this whole deal with Dustin.I can honestly say that I would be glad to call him a friend.
