My Madness!!
Noob intros are useless without picture threads of the madness!!!
My 95 Cutlass, 3100 4T60e, right after I traded my 96 CS that was getting rusty to my best friend.
We installed the Grand Prix dash in this one after I did the same in my 96 CS. Having HUD and DIC is such a wonderful thing!
Hmm, a 95 showing OBD2 data?!?! Oh noes!! When I got the car, the SES light came on on the drive home. The next day, I got parts from Pullapart and OBD2 swapped it. 97 Lumina PCM allows me to use my HP Tuners setup
Interior pic after carputer install which I sold to my best friend so I can fun my engine swap stuff for my convertible.
Fun stuff for the front suspension! The car is on coilovers at all 4 corners.
Gen 2 W-body aluminum rear knuckles, brakes, GMPP trailing arms, Gen 2 W-body lateral links!! The pics are of my old 96 CS, my best friend had to have the same mods as me so we did it. Both cars are modded very similar.
More pics to come as I upload them!

Ok, heres the Roach pics, aka work in progress. Hope to have it done by May, it will be a slow slow process.
92 Cutlass Convertible, got it off a forum member. Severely neglected to no end. Unibody, super super rust free.
Days worth of body work, nothing to scare me whatsoever.
After appx 12 hours of cleaning.. Was sooooo nasty. Still far from clean but i wanted to make it decent enough so I could drive it for the last 2 months of nice weather.
1st mod so far, a super beefy front strut tower brace. Just slapped that on there to calm the cowl shake down, which it did. IMHO the stock brace was almost worthless.
Self explanitory!!!

Project GS(X)
True madness on my part to do something like this while both my cars are slow as hell
Of course that is soon to change.
I hate all that isnt OBD2
I may or may not have anger issues with crap
Engine I pulled out at the junkyard from a 00 Regal GS
Best friend hauling it in a co-workers F150 back to my house, 80 miles from the junkyard. Im driving the Roach, somehow getting 31mpg. The Ford got 7mpg
My best friend Rob wanted to pose
I came when I saw these headers!! Lord did I not know how much they would put me through to make them fit the car.
Hmmm, L67 goodness!
Unforunately, those cool aluminum Montana dogbone mounts couldnt stay.
Had to pull interior out for wiring.. didnt take much except the nightmare to get the seats out and back in.
Hmmm, thats not gonna fit....
The almost all of that U channel plate had to be cut out.. and a hammer and hours and hours of cut, test fit, cut hammer, test fit.. grrrrrr..
Looking much better..
Cutting the TB bracket saved me hours of other possible cutting. Had to properly rotate the engine position to find the happy medium for clearance with the headers..
Coolant overflow.. needs to be painted black.
Yay!!! It runs!!
Ready for pickup!!!!

Dora... long story hahaha
Parts for Project Roach.. keep piling up! Theres actually more stuff there now hahaha
My 282 sitting there, waiting
Pulling my L36, 129,999 miles on the 98 Lumina. Rebuilt 4T65e (has tag with mileage rebuilt at) My best friend Rob and good buddy Chris helped me pull it. Engine, Trans, 100% uncut harness, cables, lines, hoses, mounts, PCM, PCM box, cruise module all pulled in under an hour. Everything hardpart needed cost $220 and some change. I dont need much to do the swap, but I have madness plans for this Vert!!!
Hmmm, whatever would I be using this stuff for??? Mwahahaha!!! Thats 1.25" .120 wall DOM tubing. The socket pictured is my 19mm 1/2" drive impact socket shown for size reference!
