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

    GS Kubisch THE "CUT-UP" BUICK

    Thanks guys....I'm pretty bummed that it didn't go down the track this year. I'd still like to get it on the dyno sooner than later. (Not sure where yet,Shawn)

    Then I'll take all winter to make sure the car is ready to go a little faster

    It's on a Pro Bracket Radial slick now. I was going to try a set of 275Pros (1/8 mile) for the sake of being a filler car in Ultra Street

    Tubular core support now, Removable front clip, and further weight reduction without taking away from the look.

    Hoping to hit the starting at 3150-3200 lbs.

    Looks good Gary. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the front end. We're keeping steel fenders but still want to make pulling the front end easier.
    Your work is top notch as usual.

    Looks sweet, I like steel rod replacement for the coil overs. Great way to keep the car up till you get it all together as scaled to know what springs are actually needed

    I gotta tell ya Gary, when. I heard what you were up to I expected it was going to be badass. But as usual you have pushed it beyond even that. I for one am always in awe of your ability to push the bar even higher. Please let me know when the first test hits will happen. Keep in mind the local machine shop here has their dyno set up for Buicks as they did Rich motor.
