Well, I stumbled across this place while looking for suspension tuning parts for my 87 cutlass. Cool place. :D
What it is....
1987 Olds Cutlass Supreme. 116k miles, bought off the original owner. Super clean car, all original, currently undergoing a complete restification.

And here it is in its present stage. Completely torn down getting ready for the rebuild.

Plans are a 1972 olds 350 squeezing as much power out of it as possible while still being streetable, total suspension rebuild, and a slight interior modification. The car is getting a completely new look on the outside with new paint, some blacked out trim, front air dam, h/o hood scoop and possibly the rear spoiler (not sure on that part yet).
Biggest problem I have encountered so far..... finding wheels that I like.
I did all that you see in 2 days over 2 different weekends. I am lifting the body off the frame this weekend, where it will be cleaned (not sure how yet) and painted (not sure on powder coat or paint yet).
Goal is to have the frame done, the underbody cleaned and painted and the body back on the frame before the snow flies. Then I can take my time going through and prepping for paint in the spring (which my best friend and I are doing, as he does great work). After the paint, I will reassemble the car, the new suspension components, install the motor and tranny and by summer have a sweet gofast cruiser. :)
