Nice! Good to see another G body lurking about. Love the stance!
@Kevin- Not all G bodies had these rad support x braces. I found mine on a Regal in the junkyard. It wasn't anything special, just a V6 non turbo Regal. Neither my car, my son's 78 Cutlass wagon, or the 78 Cutlass wagon parts car I bought had this brace. I've read all the GNs have it. G bodies have a few different chassis bracing options, and there are different brace design options for different lines- Buick, Olds, Pontiac... Almost seems a little random whether the car had any bracing or not. Finding these different braces in a junkyard is sort of like celebrating your birthday, lol! Sure would be interesting to speak to the engineers and see what they were thinking and why the differences between the cars.
