I think I posted here a couple years ago, but the GNutlass is almost done. 88 Cutlass w/ euro nose with 85 GN driveline. I like the 85 setup, but can already tell I'm going to switch to the 87 as funds permit.
The car has a GN rear, trans (rebuilt by Lake County Trans, Illionois (aka Jimmy's)) and engine. The car has taken me close to ten year to complete paycheck to paycheck.
Originally the GN setup was going into an 80 Monza Spyder, but when I dropped the engine in, the exhaust or the upper control arms were gonna have to go. So I bailed out and bought the T-Top Cutlass. Anyway I've listed some of the cool things I did:
88 Toyota Supra 8 way seats, custom cold air, deleted trunk lock and emblems, glassed in hood ridge, blacked out chrome (except bumpers), lots of powdercoating here and there, POR 15 underbody, new T Top Rubbers and PORed the framing up there too, GN dash, B&M Prostick, 89 IROC 16" wheels (FRONT all the way around), homemade hotwire fuel pump feed and relay, electric fan (from a 92 Escort), 3 core radiator, 6 disc, twin 10" subs, Rockford Fosgate Punch 120 AMP, programmed infared alarm/disabling (a friend of mine is an electronics engineer), custom black/grey velour interior - not pimpy - just cool, A/C, custom console (in work right now), if you're ever in central Ohio and you see my plates, honk, they say GNUTLSS! anyway, you get the idea. I'll post pix on my website as soon as I take some.
The car is 90% done and I'm driving it, but I do need to finish odds and ends here and there, but the point is it runs!
