    Hey Guys;
    Thought I would introduce myself, I am a retired toolmaker from GM. I have several old cars,but at the moment I am working on my daughters 99 Grand Prix, These seem to be very good cars,especially with the 3.8.
    Over the years I have did a lot of work on 3.1's and 3.4's. But I think I like the 3.8's the best. This car really gets down the road.

    A pic or two, this is my Baby, she was on stands getting a new rear spring. My daughter has the Grand Prix, which I usually do the maint on. I have had a few over the years,but none at the present, of course most of my vehicles have been GM.
