Brian, glad to see the car get a good home.
As far as parking 3 cars in the 2.5 car garage I would put the K-Car sideways along the back wall and then park the Omni's side by side, should leave you with better access that way. The first year I had my place two GLH's, my Ram pickup and the lawn tractor with a snow blower on it all fit inside my 2.5 car garage

That is correct. I think Paul posted in this thread that he gave the hood to his neighbor since he did not want to use it for the hood with a scoop he was doing for his omni back when.Originally Posted by 4 l-bodies
That is a very good idea. I am going to get a couple of wheel dollies and I will be all set I think.
my 85 glht had glh decals sold the car last year

Hey Brian, not sure if you care to see or know, but here's final pics of the car that your hood was originally installed on.

Very cool Paul. I didn't put two and two together to realize that the hood came from your old white car. (no pun intended.) I can't wait to get a little warmer weather so I can start getting everything ready.
I will probably keep the NA car as is for this year other than general maintenance type stuff so that I can finally run a decent time in my black car once I fix the boost.
The first thing I need to do to this car is put Charger seat tracks in it though. I can barely get in and out of the car with the stock wheel in there. I had to remove the armrest in this car also so that I could shift. I would like to use Charger tracks and another small wheel to allow me the room to use an armrest though.
Finally some work done on the car. I put some Charger seat tracks in the car to drop the seat down some. It is still rough getting in and out of the car with the stock wheel in there, but it is much more manageable now.
Is it just me or does the Black GLH look...bigger?
It does because of the way it sits. It has the KYB GR2 struts in the rear with the spring perch installed upside down. That causes the rear to ride a lot higher than it should. I got the car this way and I've never changed it.
120 mile drive after throwin used oil in a dry trans and brake issues! Your def a trooper. What a shame the other one has cancer
Thanks.
I looked under the black car again the other day when I put it up on dollies to move it around the garage. After looking at the bottom of the blue car it is apparent that the black car is beyond saving IMO. Maybe if it was an actual S car, but...
I know the feeling.....
I have one in my garage that is about to get crushed (after I strip all the GLH stuff off, of course)
I just plated this car and put insurance on it today. The front driver's side caliper is hanging up now. When it goes it flies, but as of right now it hardly moves.

could you explain a little more about the tracks you swapped? and what it did for your car. I stand 6'3 and go about 265. This might get me a little more room for when I wear a helmet.

The seat tracks bolt to the bottom of the seat and are in turn bolted to the floor to hold it in. The 2 door L body seat tracks sit much lower due to the lower roof line in the 2 door cars. Since the seats are the same you can unbolt the tracks from a two door car and throw them right on a 4 door seat (or bolt the whole thing in if it's nicer than yours).
The 2 door tracks will drop your seat enough to make the steering wheel much more comfortable between your legs and get you the added head room you may need. I feel this a must for anyone who is taller or very long legged.
Picked up two L body rads and an analog fuel metering device out of a rampage today. I'll post pics later to make sure the AFMD is one of the non-feedback jobs. If it is I'll pick up another one at the yard for $15.
On top of that ^^ I put washers in between the column and the plate it mounts to to lower it some and give it some tilt...lol Much better now with the lower seats.
I wish it would move the other direction!
I didn't snap any pics of the new carb, but it does have less electrical stuff on it than the one in the car so I'm pretty sure it's the one I wanted.
I'll need to order up some new front brake hoses and perhaps calipers so that the front brakes won't drag any longer. It's really getting annoying. It was the front driver's hose pinching off the fluid for sure though. I bent the clip a little and it did much better.
Santa Fe Blue is the best color ever. Shows exceptional taste and savoir faire. Just my humble opinion.

"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."

I'm forced to agree!
