Hi, my name is Joe and I'm a caraholic :D
I just picked up an 83 Grand Prix to setup as a daily driver. I used to own an 87 Cutlass (was the second car I ever owned), so I know a little about g-bodies. I also have been working on another project; a 67 Pontiac Firebird. That one is more of a long term deal. Anyway, my plan with this Grand Prix is to make it presentable and fix some issues with it. I'm thinking hot rod black, tune-up the 305, throw some decent rubber under it, and drive it. I'll get some pics up if you guys are interested. I also have some pics of my Cutlass, but I would need to scan them in.

Thanks for the welcome :mrgreen:
I'll get some pictures up soon; I have to take some of the new ride since I just picked it up two days ago. Here's a few pics of my other project, I wonder what my rollers would look like on the Grand Prix......

Here's some cell phone pics of the Grand Prix. I test fit the rims from the Firebird. I think they look pretty good on there, I just need to get something less wide in the rear...that's a 295/50/15 on that rim.
