Many thanks to @popo8 for the LTX stickers!

Did some maintenance on the car. New LCA bushings (old ones were shot) and converted the X pipe to slip fit so it would actually seal. It's a million times smoother to drive now and probably the quietest it's been since stock exhaust. Those dynomax mufflers are stealthy. Didn't get a chance to do the springs or rear sway bar because my schedule is too packed.
Hopefully we'll be able to head down to OCMD this Saturday after finishing up with the guys from Regular Cars. My car is out of commission along with my other friend's 95Z. That and money is tight for all of us right now so we couldn't justify a full trip. Need at least one action filled night!

Wheels came in. Still need to drop the front a bit but I still like it. Most of the work after the suspension stuff will be cosmetic. Looks mean.

I gotta tell you, at quick glance, its still a killer sleeper.

I think the fact that it's a Buick (and not a Grand National) will always give him an edge on everyone. Most car guys have no friggen clue there's a sleeping beast under the hood. It's great.

Trying to make a rough photoshop of what should be done cosmetically... Definitely not a beauty queen like the Impala SS but hey, the car was $2k and it's pretty much the same thing for a fraction of the price.

A little better...

I really like this project. What does it weigh?

**GuillaumeC** · 10-09-2014, 09:50 AM

probably around 4400 lbs!

I have no clue, honestly. All of the emissions crap is gone, AC is ripped out, oil cooler removed, no spare/jack, stock exhaust (heavy as hell -- 2 cats, 2 resonators, 2 mufflers, and dampening weights everywhere) replaced with Summit LT's/X pipe/Dymomax mufflers/dumps, and a T56 w/tubular crossmember instead of the 4L60e. I'm guessing around 4k if the car stock is 4200? I want to sneak it onto the truck scale at the scrap yard to find out.
