Damn Spence, that's not bad. Ugly as sin, but not bad.

Thanks, I just used the c-pillar and windows from a Trans Sport and fit it to the GP :P

Thanks for the info. I had thought that the "wbody" was short for the "wide track" models of the Grand Prix.

I like the wagon idea. Just a little cut, weld, and grind.

As far as the Cutlass, mid way in 1988 was the first W Body, 1988 Had the Cutlass Supreme Classic. Still a G body but it was a FWD G Body, only made for about a half a year. There on was FWD W body.

I'm pretty sure the 1988 cutlass supreme classic was not FWD.

You are correct.

Yes your right sorry haha I knew that some point in 1988 there were FWD G Body.. I thought it was the Classic

[mra32]

The only FWD G-Body I am aware of is a seperate platform from the RWD G-bodies and came out in the mid 90's. It was for large FWD cars like the Aurora.

Really? I could have sworn I was at a car show and saw a 1988 Cutlass Supreme with FWD Maybe it was a conversion or I was dreaming haha

[RobertISaar]

yeah..... they were made, but they were W's, not G's.

a 1988 cutlass supreme classic is RWD and a G
a 1988 cutlass supreme is FWD and a W
