Finally got around to restripping and respraying the roof. Came out much better this time.

That swap sounds like it could be a great platform to build off. You could go so many ways with that too. If I end up with a modern transmission like that 4L60E in my Cutlass down the road I would love to get TCI's Paddle Shifter set up to go with it. Think it would be great for track days and...

Im pretty sure I know the Nova wagon you are talking about. If its the same car that is the car that made me think it could possibly work. If I remember correctly it was a Silver 66 or 67. I also remember a Car Craft article years ago where somebody swapped a mean 400+hp turbo 4200 into a 69...

I really want to know if a Vortec 4200 I6 could be put into my Cutlass. I love inline 6 engines and think it would be cool to have one in a G-body. Or do a Grand National style 3.8 only instead of a turbo build do a centrifugal supercharged build.

Time for a new status update. The starter motor, plugs, and wires were all replaced last month. The past three weeks have been spent making the repairs on the trunk. First was a heavy cleaning and then a sanding of the seem that was leaking by the top right side of the trunk seal. Then I sprayed...

Is one of the passenger side trunk body mounts right behind the wheel well to the right of the spare tire well? If so I believe one of my body mount bolt has punctured my trunk and will require attention. In the meantime I have capped the hole with QuickSteel just to prevent moisture and rust...

Will those ABS door panels fit on Cutlass or Regal doors? I feel like they should but with having different door skins I just want to make sure it wouldn't cause any fitment issues.

The Blue Pig lives again. Back from the trans wizard it had a full rebuild including 2500 Converter, Superior Shift Kit, Superior Super Servo, new pump, and a performance master kit. Runs good and shifts hard, maybe a little too hard, but gonna give it some time to break in, if its still a bit...

Which brand of S10 drop spindles do you use? Belltech 2100?

The BluePig has finally made its way to the great and powerful trans wizard, for some transmission sorcery. Trans guy Lou who has loads of experience building 200r4's for high power Grand Nationals, is going to do me up right with a rebuild and upgrade that should handle between 350-400 hp/tq...

Got quite a bit of work ahead of you there. Glad to see you're going all out though sounds like it is going to be awesome when its done. I hope it all comes out as planned.

How do you like the radio. I had considered ordering this to replace the old aftermarket Pioneer cassette player that is in my 87. Love the new technology with simple stock looks.

The radiator I installed is a stock replacement Spectra heavy duty radiator from autozone. The fluid was topped off to the proper level. The car still moves but very slowly at very high RPM. I added more fluid since and now the fluid level is a bit above the full line.

Oh Corvette Summer. I remember back in 96 (I was 8) after I caught Star Wars buzz I heard Mark Hamill had done a movie about a Corvette. Loving Star Wars and Corvettes I had to see this movie. Of course I didn't see it until about 10 years later, and oh what a ridiculous film it was. That crazy...

Sorry it has been so long since I've updated the status on the car, but a major setback has arose. Two days after I put in the radiator the trans died. While only two days apart, both the input and output lines to the radiator from the trans were at temperature so I don't believe the two are...

Probably. Gotta pull the gauge cluster out again, try and clean up the circuit board sheet and check that the gauge lead is tight. While frustrating watching the gauge spin makes me giggle so it could be worse. Hahaha

My wild temp gauge.

After replacing the water pump, that leak stopped only for a new leak to start between the lower radiator hose and the radiator. Since the radiator was in rough shape to begin with, I just went ahead and replaced both the rad and the hoses today, instead of trying to figure out if it was one or...

Replaced my water pump Thursday now to figure out what is wrong with my temp gauge, and figure out what is going on with my heater core. Seems like its either plugged up or it has a really big air pocket.
