Well, I'm still trying to find my way around this site... Keep getting lost checking out everybody's rides! I did my intro post in the newbie section, thought I'd throw a thread up here with some pics just in case anyone is doing a similar build and has questions... Good lord I know I had a bunch of questions building this one! 6 months now and I'm almost done now, been to 2 shows and grabbed 2 top 10's!! If your near savannah, hit me up! Here are some quick specs:
500+ hip mast cammed 2009 LY6, LS3 intake, 4L85e, PSI Harness, Ford Motorsports 9in rear, 4 wheel disk, 18 & 17 Daytona Wheels with Nitto rubber, full 3" exhaust, auto meter guages, built in my garage and all computer tuning done by Larry Burke of Burke's Performance in Rincon GA. All original sheet metal & interior. Want to know anything else, just ask!!!

Once again, very nice car. Nice to see another Olds. An LS is definitely in my Cutlass' future (maybe not near future) and I was wondering what engine / tranny mounts, front accessories and headers did you use? I know most things are the same as Chevelle but sometimes there are differences with the BOP cars. The pitman arms for instance changed sizes on different years between Chevy, Olds and Pontiac A-bodies. Found that one out the hard way. :-)

Thanks again! I used the hooker motor mounts, hooker headers, Kwik performance front accessory brackets...as for the tranny I have heard other A body guys use the factory crossmember but on my convertible, it wasn't even close. Had a buddy custom fab one up for me.

Is that your car in your little icon thing? Looks a lot like mine!! I tried to look at it, but it doesn't open when you click on it like I hoped it would...lol.

I was admiring that too. I'll bet it would work awesome until the first big rain storm. ;-)

Yours looks better than mine but they are very similar since I have a '67 front clip. I have some pics of mine on this thread about 3/4 of the way down the page:

There's some more on page 6 also. I have put on Ridetech lower arms and double adjustable Shockwaves on the front and rear bags with an Airpod since those pics. Also a "Stick, You Bitch!!!!!!!!!" sticker from Mary Pozzi on the back. Almost got into a fight over that at a cruise in. :)

Dude...your right! Our cars do look a lot alike! Perfect stance. I love the tail lights you did... That's on my "to do" list along with possibly some new style headlights. I wanted my back wheels to be like yours..the deeper lip....but the lip on mine is much smaller. I'm running 18x9's too I guess just different back spacing etc. I'm too broke now to try again, lol either way ...sweet ride you got there!!!
