Hi Every(g)body,

I wanted to drop by this thread and introduce myself because as of this morning I've rejoined the illustrious ranks of gbody owners.

This morning, I picked up an '87 Cutlass Brougham. She's not much to look at right now (in primer) but she's solid, mostly all there, sitting on Weld Draglites and has a relatively fresh 350/TH350 swap that appears to be pretty well done.

After work I popped in a new battery and secured the exhaust with some proper hangers so it doesn't rattle around anymore.

Got a long way to go to get it where I want, but I'm absolutely brimming with excitement about fixing it up bit by bit as I drive it.

Like I said, she's not looking her best at the moment, but I know I'm in love, because I think she's sexy even without any makeup on (...or at least that's what I tell her :rofl:).

Feel free to comment, ask questions, or weigh in with ideas/car dreams of where I should go with it.

Thanks Wraith! I assure you it looks a little cleaner in pictures than to the naked eye, but I'll get it there. These pics I'm posting were taken by the PO awhile ago with all the interior trim bits place, some are missing and it needs a little more TLC in real life than it looks from these photos. I was too busy working on it/enjoying driving it today to take pics of my own yet, but I'm sure I'll snap some soon.

Here's one of the interior how it looked some indefinite amount of time ago (and will look again with a little effort on my part)
