BUILD THREAD 87 Cutlass EFI build: 9/13/23..NEW STUFF!

[Injectedcutty]

So I was at the tire shop as soon as they opened and got the tires mounted on the front wheels. I bolted them on soon after and WOW what a difference they make! I really did explore alot of options to ensure I nail the retro/modern-esque look for the build. Tell me what you guys think.
The fronts are 17x7 with a 225/50ZR17.

Looks super-slick Scott. Even with the stock engine, I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of mine. Jealous of you guys that can drive them right now!

Thanks Ed, no driving for me though. My engine is on the stand, trans needs a shift kit, etc. It just looks cool sitting still lol.

If you’ve driven it in the last 7 years, you’re ahead of me. Just waiting on the sender, and then re-assembly should commence on “Miss Piggy.”

Fair enough, I'm ahead of you. I drove it several times about 3 ish years ago when the 355 was going, then the block cracked and it's been down since.

Those wheels are all kinds of win for your look. 👍👍

It's been a parts happy week!!! I got my custom sized center cap rocket emblems for the new wheels, as well as ordered/delivered a Transgo HD2 kit, dipstick, and TCI aluminum pan for the 4L80E. I might roll the trans outside if it warms up soon so I can clean the gunk off of it before taking it apart.
