    I finished my Buick Grand National with a 50-hour Restoration!

    Fun fact, before precision was a standalone turbo manufacturer, they got their start, copying and improving upon Garrett designs with licensing contracts. In the beginning, precision turbos didn't generally actually have a precision logo, and since they bought surplus Garrett parts, a lot of original precision turbos actually have Garrett housings, wheels and center sections, with Garrett approved modifications, to make their own Turbo combinations. Sometimes just mix matching different Garrett compressor wheels and center shaft/turbine wheels, to create unique turbo sizes Garrett didn't offer at the time.

    Somebody didn’t like the previous car owner and messed it up. Maybe he was cheating on his girlfriend? 😂

    As a technician, I would love to just spend a full week working with these guys. I can't get enough of them and their work. This is by far one of my favorite channels.

    I worked at a Buick dealership back in the day and we would get these cars right off the truck with 10 or 12 miles on them and race them down the highway, I can still remember that slight hesitation before the turbo kicked in,what great cars, still one of my favorite cars of all time

    Before I was a BMW guy, I was a GM guy…and I really wanted one of these when they came out. One of the few GM cars from this era that I still want so badly.

    Hey Alex, maybe you can do a dyno run as a base to see what kind of power it's making now, compared as to when it rolled out thenf actory Specs. I think it would be interesting

    Hi Alex. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are involved in the process of blood clot formation, forming a structure that blocks bleeding. Epic burnout in the Grand National.

    I love you guys together. Anytime you giggle I hear Peter start too. Like a kid in the candy store. You guys were born to work together.I live in the U.p. and you wouldn't believe the classics we know of that will never be sold.:(. I understand though. Real proud up here.

    Gotta love Buicks. The Grand National is a prime example of a Legit Street Car. You guys are doing a fantastic job while providing great entertainment.

    Hi Fellas, This project means allot to me, I've followed it from your purchase, because I'm running a 2003 3800sc out of a Bonneville SSei, which is one of the up-graded 3.8's from the Grand National engine, rated at 240hp but closer to 250hp. I've put a 3.4" SC pulley and cooler plugs, and she is putting out around 300+hp in my "86 Fiero GT, a 2700-lb award wining custom sports car. I've up-graded the suspension, and call her my "quasi super car!" She is an auto-cross demon, and tons of fun on winding mountain roads...! I would love to have a Grand National, so I'll be following along with your restoration vicariously, just so you know. I am an 80-year old gear head, so this is from my generation. I have built many custom and hot-rod cars in the late 60's and early to mid 70's. I love and honor what your are doing with your Grand National, and what you are doing to restore her to her former glory, and even better. Thank you so much!

    To help you in the future get your hands on Brown butcher's paper. The paper has a chemical that is used in the making of the paper that you can put on your to quickly help your blood coagulate to stop the bleeding. It will not harm you. But you need to not pull the paper off the wound or you will open it bag up. Let it dry out and fall off on its own. (Actually Brown paper bags are made the same way so find a fairly clean bag to set aside for emergencies. My father who was an Electrical Engineer and worked outside some times would make sure he had brown paper near where he could grab it quickly. He used this technique to stop the blood flow from cuts all his life and taught it to me. (I am 73.) ( When he would cut himself shaving with a blade you would see little patches of brown paper all over his face. Safer then Kleenex because you could give yourself an infection with Kleenex.)

    The license plates are from 1976. They were the bicentennial plates. Note the 4 stars, which were for the 4 different countries that parts of Michigan were part of during its history. Very cool plates

    You literally have like 3 or 4 of my dream cars. Love the channel on how its all things we can do at home and not all ridiculously expensive. On the GN build you should please do a b4 & after dyno test.
