Welcome Mark. Good to see another Canadian in with us.

I going bet your GP came out of GM in St. Therese, PQ. The plant is long gone, and a Mall now stands in it's place.

Welcome to the forums. I've been here for several years and still don't know how everything works.
I do know how to ask questions and the good folks here are always eager to help.

Welcome!
78-87 G bodies are righteous rides with a little massaging.

Great to know another 78-80 is being preserved.

Welcome Mark!

The easiest way I have found to post pictures is to start a photobucket account (free) at photobucket(dot)com. Then your photos are always in one place, and always available.
After you upload pics there, it shows a direct link under each picture. When you are making a post here, you click on the icon that looks like a globe with a couple of chain links under it. Copy and past that direct picture link at photobucket into the space that appears when you click on the globe here on PY. Make sure there is only one http:// at the beginning, click OK and your full-sized picture will appear in your post.

Enjoy the forums-

Kurt

I like the Coca Cola stuff just as much as the car.
