You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

I FINALLY GOT IT! The rollback didn't breakdown today! It isn't quite as rusty as I thought it would be but it's definitely got some rust and rot. Here are some crappy cell phone pictures. I'll get more as soon as I can.

That steering wheel/column looks MUCH newer... Already lowered or just poor springs? lol
That's going to be a BIG project, but should be fun!

2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!
Steering wheel is from a mid 80s Chevy truck but the column is original. It's a three speed on the column. It's hard to tell from the crappy pictures and all of the extra parts but I think the interior is in decent shape.

The way your drive is sloped Brandon the truck didn't really need the roll back lol
That is a big project. Have fun with it.
My '69 Camaro isn't that rough and it has been sitting for 10 years wanting me to work on it as I walk to the GXP

Lots of rockers and one of them is a GM part.
Some inner fenders.

Got a buddy to help me take the hood off at lunch. That was the first hurdle. Now I can start removing the fenders, grill, bumper and radiator support.
Crappy cell phone pictures.

I feel like I didn't get much accomplished tonight. The grill fought me the whole way. I didn't have a 12 point socket or wrench to take the hood latch off so I had to stop and go buy a set.
Here she is without the grill.

I bought all my tools like that I think.
BTW, had to buy a brake bleeder last night so the brake lines can be changed on the G8.
Rest in Peace Charlie!
