My 1988 Cutlass resto project

[88 Gutlass]

I was able to find the placement of the brackets. Now I need to cut a hole for my shifter once I get the trans in

Well got my T56 swap almost finished, have to finish up center console and change out the shifter handle

Don't know if you mentioned but what clutch did you go with?

Just a factory replacement for a 95 Camaro. I think it’s a LuK

Few pictures of final install, don’t mind the wires not connected, the reverse light switch in trans is broken

Got the factory FBody shifter installed, still need to do something with the shifter boot, but turned out good enough for now

I have been driving the Gutlass for the past few weeks with the T56 swap and man it is so fun to drive. Spent today going over all the nuts and bolts checking torque, since I have put 300 miles on it since the swap. I also got my high speed blower working on my heater controls. It is just a good darn feeling being able to enjoy the fruits of my labor!!!! I still have to get the AC working before summer comes but I am sure I will put it off till it get super hot here in Ga 😂. Just wanted to put it out there I have been rebuilding this car for 3 years now and have put 1400 miles on it, keep wrench on your projects guys/gals. I catch myself looking at my POS and thinking now that is what I envisioned 3 years ago when I started. What a change

Finally put some good front control arm on the Gutlass. I did allot of research and desired to go with BMR. I am very please with the new handling with the control arms and Bilstein shocks.

I haven’t posted much a this as of late. I went to the GBody Classic a few weeks ago and had a great time. Here’s a few pictures for the event and my drive from Ga to Ohio, then back to Ga through Chicago.

Marina Towers. I spent a lot of my misguided youth there. Beautiful views of the Chicago River and downtown.
