I have been asking a few questions on this forum. So I thought I would attempt to do a build thread. I haven't been very good at keeping up with them in the past.
Here's some info on the project:
'86 Cutlass Supreme - I got this on trade for some work I did for a friend. He has 3 other G bodies.
Body - The car had a crappy white paint job. So it was blasted and painted Vapor grey. All stainless trim was removed except the windshield and rear window. I will be painting the window trim and grill black.
Engine/Trans - '06 5.3 and 4L80e- Engine was DBW and I didn't get the pedal or TAC module so I decided to get the Fitech 70051 and a used DBC throttle body.
Suspension - The car had cut spring when I got it. My friend had a new set of stock springs and Monroe shocks he decided not to use. So that's what it will get for now.
We just finished an '81 Cutlass, so I was able to move my car out of the paint booth and into the shop. Until now I have just been buying parts and got the motor cleaned up and painted. Here's a few pics.
