    I've been meaning to make new brake and AC parts, and paint in body color. I changed the design of the AC setup a little bit- less bolt holes to hold the cover on. Heres a shot of the new ceramic headers and polished valve covers too

    I was browsing through pictures and had to laugh when I found this! From about 3 years ago. The hood on the far left is now the hood on this Century.

    You're right its not! I am born and raised from Washington, and recently moved back there from Vegas. I suppose I should update my account info so it doesn't say Las Vegas haha



    Got some more work done this weekend... Paint matching sure is difficult. These came out a couple shades off.
    Here are some pics of the insulation and inside the evaporator housing

    Trailing Arm Mount- More pics?

    Thank heavens I found this thread. My dynaflow is no longer flowing, and I've got a 700r4 ready to go. I've got a set of truck arms but I need to make a front mount for the trailing arms. I know from reading the thread you switched to Jaguar rear suspension, but do you have any pics of that mount outside the car? I would really appreciate it. Also, are you the guy on ebay that sells the power brake firewall kits? If so, I'll be in the market for one as soon as I get this car back on the road.

    Thanks in advance- Here's a pic of mine.IMG_1693.JPG

    Did you find an adapter plate to put the 700r4 onto the 322? Ive seen a couple for sale, haven't heard about how well they fit. I'll look for pictures but I don't think I have any. it was just two flat pieces of steel with 3/8" holes drilled to hold it to the frame, and then a bar welded across to hold the two pieces together.

    That's me, I've been selling those for a little while now. If you buy directly rather than through ebay I give a $25 discount.

    I'm saving up for the Bentzen's adapter, it's $675. I'll buy it from Russ, the nailheadbuick.com guy. He's been very helpful already with my car. As far as fitment, I haven't read any complaints, but I'll ask him about it when I'm ready to order.

    Check out the first page of this thread, there are a few pictures there. Also, I'm not a big fan of the 61 differential swap anyways as there are better options out there.
