Was thinking about selling the Firenza body kit but now think it will go on my town coupe.
Next for the elusive deck lid spoiler.

Love the look of the flares on the coupe! Not that the tires need to get any more inset, mine are so far inward it’s like putting a car body on a skateboard. New wheels can always fix that though, look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Thanks, recently pulled the engine/trans from the Olds.
Primed engine and was able to get 50 psi from cordless drill. Compression test ended up in the 150 range. Test ran and didn't smoke so now cleaning things up, ordered a bunch of tuneup parts and would be nice to get it running by end of summer. All depends on what hurdles come along, lol.

After 8.5 years it drove out of shop under it's own power.
The 3800 is gone and the 305/th350 is in.

Couple pics from local car show.
Clear coat didn't fair well over the years down here.
Have the Olds wheel flares and air dam on it now and new set of BFG 205/65-13s.

Now, if I could only find a coupe spoiler.

Put close to 3,000 miles on it since getting it running.
Could use a paint job and other odds/ends but it's getting some miles on it.
Still need that elusive rear spoiler to round out the Olds flares.
