Love the Cutlass! Looks like it was a pretty good car to start with. Keep up the progress!

Good looking start!

Thanks, i couldn't get the rear coilovers lined up to bolt in so I'm going to try putting the tires back on to restore the ride height.

I found it sitting in a shop yard and the owner was tired of it

Looks like you are off to a great start. I need to pull my carpet up to run speaker wires and put down sound dampening mat.

What are your engine plans?

Looking good! Great to see another Olds on here!! Good luck with the project.

Going with a built LS and 4l80e, more of a grand touring build than a pro touring

Front end update

[badolds]

Looking really good, please keep it up and post pictures and details of the LS swap and trans tunnel mods. I am running an old school SBC with a 700r4 but will go with LS power if I ever decide to change it up. It would be nice to see the details of the swap before I did it myself. Have you already got the engine?

@badolds I have a guy in Las Vegas that is building the motor and tranny for me, if you go on Instagram his shop is kreativestreetdesign. I won't be doing the swap until October next year as I'm still getting everything ready for the swap.
