That is an awesome car, should be a good project! I love a four door hardtop, that's what my 66 Cutlass was.

We'll be there scan tools in tow, wouldn't miss it for anything. TBD what car we bring this time, depends how much can get done over winter I guess.

Definitely can't wait to hear more about the front suspension progress! I also had to take the chance to get a picture of the Trofeo and SSE when you parked it there.

I can't wait to see what it ends up like!

I would think the GP GXP front calipers would bolt up to it, they fit on our PAU and STS, 12.7" rotor. They fit under the 17" wheels too.

Now I REALLY wish we weren't so busy last weekend, I wanted to go to that show. The Goat looks fantastic!

Where's that meme someone made of the vomiting giraffe when you need it?

I agree, it looks great, even in person. I'd be happy with it for sure! Glad we could help out with the brake stuff.

Yes, the SSEi is going in for some major surgery soon. The car is just not in the best of shape right now.

At least the exhaust sounds good!

Matt, next year I'll bring some sturdier zip-ties to fix the land of misfit chairs. :lol:

We went up to Detroit the night before the last stop of the power tour, so we could go to the GM RenCen, since neither of us has ever been inside the place. Obligatory parking garage pictures:

I'll have to upload a few tomorrow from my phone. We had a great time as always!

I just broke the two A pillar clips on the 92 SSE today running the mic wire for the new HU up to behind the visor. That one looks much more robust.

Looks awesome! You're inspiring me to take care of some of the headliner projects I have to tackle, and with more than thumbtacks this time! :lol:

I like that you wrapped the pillar covers too, our Cadillac has that pool table felt covering the pillars, if it were a nicer material it would look a ...

Looks awesome! Can't wait to hear the exhaust.

I do spend hours at a time watching the retro reviews. This one is awesome.

I'm definitely interested to see what happens, I'm keeping my old L36 to build a turbo S truck with.

Most of the 3800s I've had have been over 150k, the lowest was my 01 (44k when purhcased sold with 87k) and my highest was 255k on my red 96 SSEi. Next runner up was the Olds 88 at 216k, I kept that engine for racekar things... My Ultra is just about 10k shy of 200k, and I intend to double that car ...

Looks awesome! We like finding low key vacation spots like that, you don't really feel too much like a tourist. Lol. Glad to see Penny is still doing well! I feel old, I remember when your odometer looked like 5x,xxx.

We shall be there, probably Friday evening to Sunday. At this point not sure what we'll take up there, hoping the 92 SSE is done and safe to drive by then. We have many backups if not though.

Oh I'm sure, the last straw was actually on the way home from the color tour, some idiot two cars in front of me brake checked car #2 in line because he was riding too close, long story short the ole Buick had to find a way to do an 85-0 really quick, it gave me flashbacks. lol

Glad to hear it finally turned out Greg! I'm going to be ordering parts soon to do GP GXP front brakes on my Ultra, a few hasty stops have worn out the already too small brakes, it takes a lot to stop over 4k lb.
