hi! There everyone,thanks for accepting me,and IAM happy to be part of the gbodyforum.and happy to help with any advice that I may have to help anymore.I recently bought an 85 Cutlass supreme brougham,as a project car for my son,and grandkids to work on together, it's in decent shape,but I want to trans form it like the fe3x style,but can't seem to find any ground effect kits.does anybody know web site or how to go about this,I also want to do a engine swap,but haven't decided on what, maybe an ls ,what would be the best for power when you need it but still be able to cruise it any ware with good top end?
CUTLASS Thanks

Welcome to a great site,
You have come to the right place for all your questions .
And to be building it with family , priceless .
I would start with getting the front end corrected , something wrong with the aligment.
What engine is in it now ? Does it run ? can it run ?
Replace the front header .
the body kits , your looking for are......dated ? and the company's that made them are long out of business .
Now I sure complete kits , part kits pop up on E vil Bay / Market place, time to time and I am sure they are not cheap.
Engine swap, no limits but your wallet.
I start with the basic's , starting / stopping / steering .
enjoy

Welcome to the Forum and welcome to the Oldsmobile side too, my best advice is to obviously build an Olds for it....... I'm definitely not biased.
I love the FE3-X prototype car's aggressive look and it's said that it even beat the Corvette in corning Gs, but as far as the body kits I don't think I've ever seen them for sale but I'm 19 so that's not saying much.
I will say working with family is priceless and has been the best part of my project 1982 Cutlass. And be careful with building an Oldsmobile, Buick or Pontiac engine because though they are different and more unique in a G-Body than seeing a SBC, for the price of building one strong BOP you could definitely build two strong SBC.

Thanks,for reply,yes the car has a 3.8 it runs great and sounds great,just needs normal maintenance,valve covers,carb, clean,flush gas lines,one owner has 117000 miles just been sitting,
Get it running right and go from there .
Any engine swap will be a few months collecting parts.
