| Hi, My name is Don and I'm here thanks to silverfox103. He sent me a pm on Impalassforum and directed me here. I just recently saved a '91 Olds Custom Cruiser from the crusher and figured I'd join some forums to get ideas and find a good source for parts. It's not much to look at now but hopefully that'll change in time. Here's a quick cell phone pic I took the other day and I'll try to get some better ones once I get it home from work.  This will be my first B-body so I've got a lot to learn. As much as I like to see pictures on any intro thread I'll post a few pics of my previous rides. The most recent one was an '07 Avalanche.  '00 SS.   '01 Denali on KMC 22" Slide's.  '78 911SC.  '06 GMC   '01 Lightning  '95 Mustang GT  | |

| Welcome! Thank you for saving another wagon, especially a Cruiser!  Most of our cars start out a bit rough but they get better. Look forward to pics of the progress. | |

| Bought another car last night. Picked up a '92 Buick wagon in the next town over. This one runs and drives so I can just use it for a daily while we work on getting the Cruiser running. I'm going to end up giving that one to my brother so it'll still be in good hands. | |

| Figured I might as well update this. I ended up buying the Roadmaster I was looking at and sold the CC after we got it running. I've done quite a bit to get the Roadmaster somewhat road worthy and this fall/winter I'll be swapping in a 6.0L and 4L80E. Here's a more recent pic of the Roadmaster. What I've done to it besides the usual tune up stuff was install a Hotchkiss spring set, 17" KMC Nova SS wheels in chrome (probably need a slightly taller tire). Rattle can Satin black paint and new tint. I've also installed 6000K HID's for more light and a Pioneer AVIC D3 Nav unit. Still need to do a new cover for the dash to fit over the double din unit.  | |

| I'll try my best to document the swap but I'm actually having a friend do all the work for me. So I won't always be around to help him out and take pics. | |

| Quarterracer, I missed your CC intro, so here is a belated welcome. Most any CC generates envy around here, yours included!
Nice work on the RMW, and we look forward to hearing about the new engine & tranny.
