Project LS1 OLDS update

[RomsMotors]

Few of you guys have seen my 87 Olds Cutlass at Motorstate, day at the strip and RTTH. I figured it was time to give the interior a face lift and add some safety to the car. I decided to install a four point roll bar, install new bucket seats, carpet, console, and 5-point harnesses. I got the new seat installed. The seats are waiting to get into the upholstery shop to be cover in dark blue leather. The roll bar will be going in next week or two. New carpet is ready to be installed and console will be here soon. I attach a few pics of the seat mounted in to car. I'll post more pics when I get more done.

Here a few more pics of the cutlass and last year winter project on the car was upgrade front suspension ATS spindle, Afco coilover, SPC upper control arm, C5 brakes.

It all started with a LS1 and 4L60E swap.

Great looking car Scott. I've always thought the 87s looked the best with the modular headlights. cars like your Cutlass are really pushing me over the edge on building a Gbody next. I had an 86 GP and I think I'd like to get another.

Thanks Guys. I'll post more pics soon.

Quick update, getting the new billet steering wheel ready to install. I'm installing billet specialties indy wheel with plain center. I took apart the horn button and machined a pocket in the center to fit the olds rocket emblem in the center. The emblem is from cutlass SSI wheel center. It looks nice as my horn center.

That's a really great idea with the horn center. Came out looking great. Good job.

Another update, I got the interior out of the car, new body mount installed, and got the main hoop bend up for the roll bar. I think by next week end the roll bar will be done. Then, I can start to put it back together. Keep tune for more pics and update

I little update on the roll bar install. I was hoping to be a little farther along. I got it all tacked in place and ready to be welded. I built the cage where it can be un-bolted and be removed form the car. Just like a tigercage. The buckets seats are down at kris kustoms being covered in blue leather.

Thanks for sharing the build progress. I have been thinking about an LS1 in my Cutlass as well.

Awesome build man! Looks good! Im in Kalamazoo, About an hour or so away from you. What seats are those? Did they come uncovered? A link to where you got them? Im interested in doing something similar so i can upgrade the performance of the seat, But keep them matching the original rears.

[WS6]

Cage looks good.

The seats are pro-car elite I purchase them from lane automotive. The got them without covers. I should have bought them with covers. We could have used the covers as a pattern. When I get the seats back I'll post some pictures of them.
