Anyone ever done

[yohinan]

a pro-touring/roadracing/autocross vehicle from an 80's 4 door G-body? Specifically an 87 Cutlass 4 door. I am looking to go with something that is a bit different than the typical 2 door but only if it is a viable platform (can be made into one). Let me know all your thoughts, both positive and negative. TIA John

Give Delta T a buzz he has one bad 4 door!

A "more door" Pro touring car would be pretty cool in my book.:woot: :git:

The chassis are essentially the same, so anything a 2-door can do, a 4-door can do too. The G-body is a great platform to start with, IMO. I've had a few over the years!

In stock form the chassis can use some geometry help but nothing a few well chosen bolt ons can`t take care of. It sure would be cool to spank BMW Z-3s at an autocross with a quad door Olds! :D It`s not a 4rd. hatch back Cutlass is it? We`ve got a number of customers doing that with 2drs. no reason you couldn`t with a 4dr. It may actually have better weight distribution... Mark SC&C

I cant make up my mind. First I was going to stick with the 2 door g-body. Then I said ahh there is only a tiny crowd really doing 4 door's. I said I will stick with a 4 door g-body. Now I have found an 85 Delta 88 with 30,000 original miles which is a b-body. Crap, crap, crap. Do I stick with this b-body or go back to the g-body. To many decisions and I cant make up my mind.

They can be made to work at an Auto-x, but if I recall the chassis is pretty heavy. Could be a fun car for local events, but taking one to Nationals is probably more work than its worth
If you want to do it, here is your stuff (http://www.globalwest.net/1973-87%20Grand%20National%20,%20Chevelle%20components. htm)
