thanks Mr.Wendell, I've learned alot about these cars from experience with my other car, (the one I started this thread with) and I know what not to do now, like trying to take on too much, I started over with a clean platform. Alot of people take away from these cars, I love the factory look with all the trimmings and badging, nothing catches my eye more than an all Original Gbody, I prefer those over any overdone up one, clean and simple is my style, I can still swap my factory spoke hubcap wheels on there and it'll look like a grandpa car

loving the attention to DETAIL!!! 8) niCE.
thanks L.A.X-RATED! I'm glad you recognized that. all the lil things that the average person wouldn't notice, but fellow Cutlass owners and us Gbody car guys will. Alot of ppl skip out on attention to detail and it shows, that kinda stuff bothers me, there's always something you can do to improve the look of your car, it's a never ending process

back with more updates! I've been wanting to upgrade my wheels and tires, wanted to go with the big and skinny combo, I like the look alot! did my research as I always do, and decided on some 275's for the rear, on some satin black corvette rallys, blackwall out, but my cars lowered and I wanted to be able to tuck them underneath the wheel well, well here are the pics and how it came out. I'm very happy with it! still undecided on what size tire up front, but I'm gonna run a 15x5 corvette rally up front...I know you Olds guys will probably rag on me for doing a chevy wheel on my Cutlass, don't get me wrong I like the Olds SSII wheel, but maybe in the future, I wanna stay away from chrome wheels, I just think the black wheel looks mean
