I have a couple of Oldsmobile Custom Cruisers, a 91 and a 92. The 91 is a customized lowrider, and the 92 is mostly stock, but a little rough on the outside. I have been working no them for about 3-4 years, and can answer most questions that come up. I do about 90-95% of my own wrenching. I have my opinions of what to do to them, and I am sticking to it. I will post an avitar of the 91 (Starship) and description of the cars.

I am on the ISSF, and GM longroof forum. I sell some parts for the 91-92 Custom Cruisers. I happened upon this forum, and thought I would sign up. I may know some of you on here.

Welcome to CO, Fred! Your customized '92 wasn't at the 2006 Texas OCA Nationals, was it? Believe it came out of Oklahoma, then moved on to Florida. I also have a '92, stock except for dual Smithy's (which I love). Am in dire need of the lower front passenger door fascia, in case you have a spare one laying around....LOL! Once again, Welcome. Pictues, when you get a chance.

Yep. And I am upset not having one right now, as I struggle to figure out how to get a bunch of recreational equipment to Texoma for an upcoming vacation. Won't be able to mountain bike there this time...

My 91 is the car that is customized. It is originally from Sarasota, FL, and it lived in Michigan for a couple of years, now is back in the Clearwater, FL area.

I think I have a front door cladding, but I do not remember if it is a driver's side or passenger's side, or if it is a 91 or 92. The 91s, and 92s mount differently.

Here are a couple of pics of the Starship.

Fred, welcome to CO. My son really likes the early 90's big Oldsmobiles. He has said a number of times that he would like to do something similar to what you have, which I think is a very fine idea.

I checked, and the only front door cladding I have is a driver's side for a 92.
