Welcome to the forum. The reason Google keeps sending you here is because this is the best source of G Body info online! There's a bonus to this forum that you may not know about. There are a lot of good people on here.
I see a car in your avatar, a Cutlass, right? We'd love to see some pics of it. Tell us a little about it.

Thanx for the welcome to all !
The car in the Avatar , that's a story ! I saved it from the scrap pile , should have left it there. Replaced fenders, doors, 3/4 of the floors, section of truck, bushings in A-arms, engine , transmission an rearend, and brakes and lines all around. Vinyl was toasted an badly
rusted underneath so off it came. Rear
Quarters needed work, really l don't know what l was thinking !!
Well it's done now, so stats are BB 468,
bottom end 73 GM performance block with 69 heads, Edelbrock intake an 850 demon carb.Transmission is a 4L60E, trans-go
manual shift with electric over drive, B&M rebuild kit.
Rearend is out of a 96 explorer 3" shorten, Moser axles, posi 4.11 gears .
Can't figure out how upload pics, computer ain't my thing.
I also have in the making a 78 Elcamino SS, found it in a real barn after being parked for 22 years, 63,000 miles on it with only rust is under the ground effects on it , so that went off, didn't try the 350 in it, pulled an but in a carbed 305 vortec, twice the HP of the 350. That's where l'm at ! Also have a 78 Z-28 with a Fuel injected 496 but wrong forum for it !

A lot of guys on here save cars that a lot of people would have crushed. At least you know what you've got that way.
There is a Non-G Body section on the forum. There's a lot of 2nd gen F body fans on here who would love to see it too.
I'm not really a computer expert. Hopefully someone can tell you how to fix it so you can upload pics.
Non g projects are welcome here. There is a non g section. Here's my brother's 78 Z28 that we did a frame off restoration on. It has a 6.0 LSX and a T56 Magnum 6 speed.
