A little old lady that we will call Granny owned this early 90's Caprice since it was bought off the showroom floor.... After driving it for many years, she decided to give it to her grandson so he could have a dependable first car... Well, Junior drove it around for a few months factory stock until meeting up with some friends in a local minitruck/sub compact club... Well, Junior wanted to be a part of the club, so that meant he had to make drastic changes to the Caprice... Even though he had scored on a set of 19's off of ebay for a reasonable price, that wasnt enough, so he started by cutting and notching the frame... then he shaved the door handles and removed the hood ornament... The car laid out, but the engine sat too high... Pics will follow...

Not being happy with the way the motor sat, Junior started doing some more cutting and eventually got the motor mounts lowered to where there was hood clearance...

Thanks everyone.... I have been working my butt off the past few days, so no updates yet... I'll be jumping on this again on Monday morning though for sure...
