I need help

I have a 93 cutlass supreme. she is a beautiful car. her previous owner began building her into a show car but she has unfortunately become a daily driver. My fiance and i are currently trying to find a vehicle to repalce her so that we can begin a rebuild process. But i am having a hard time finding parts for her. I can find most of the basic engine and body parts but i'm also trying to come up with ideas for the body. Does any one make after market parts for my car? She is already a very unique car and i want to keep her that way and do a little more with her.

your best bet is to find a very very very clean ultra low mileage '93 then store it. Restoring a 15 year old car that wasn't all that popular to begin with is going to be next to impossible and expensive.

Welcome. Unfortunately the W-body FWD cars have not really become that collectible yet. I'm not aware of much aftermarket support for repro pieces. Many of these cars are still on the road and good used parts are probably your best bet. This was also true for the 73-77 cars until just recently. You may just be 5-10 years ahead of your time.

By the way, I would venture that the most collectible W-body cars will be the Grand Prix supercharged models, the Cutlass Supreme convertibles, and anything with the 3.4 liter DOHC motor.

You are treading on virgin ground here. Easiest modifications would be to borrow from her sisters Scoops off a Lumina or a G.P. they received some bodymods during their run. Pretty much everything else will have to be custom. A guy in Chicago made a 93 H/O out of his W body. Custom stitched leather seats and all. Of course imagination is the biggest limiting factor. I'd like to see a rear wheel drive W body, V-8, twin turbo. you know, something simple.
