      Project White Devil aka It's leaving Me Broke

      So Yeah, I'm new to this Site and been getting a lot of good Information from You Guys and finally decided to put up a Build Thread of My own.
      I Live in the City so I don't have the Luxury of doing My Build in a Garage like some of You Guys.
      Thank God I Live in the Bronx and the Police don't give 2 Sh*ts about You changing Your Transmission with Your Car Jacked up on Rocks in the Winter.
      I had plenty of ups and downs with this Car. But I'm somewhat getting to where I want it.
      Here's what I started with, An 85 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

      It came with an amazingly slow V6 and Vinyl Top.
      Then I made the big Mistake of taking it to the Body Shop first.

      So that's the story behind My Car aka My Headache. It's still a work in Progress, Just bought a Rear Disc Brake conversion Kit for it, Planning to put a Fast Efi Unit on it and change the Heads and Cam on the Motor to get more out of it, Change the big Bench Seats in the front to Buckets and change it to a Manual.
      Also planning on going with the Umi Performance Level 4 Suspension Kit.
      Got a Posi Unit for the Rear, 3:73 Gears, I'll eventually upgrade to a Moser Rear end, but for now, My Stock Rear is going to have to make due.
      I'm also Planning on going with Corvette Wheels on it as well.
      I'll keep You Guys updated on My Car. It's been a long brutal Road. Lol

      Yeah I Love G Bodies, Especially Cutlasses, Monte's are cool, But They're a lot more common.
