CJ_978 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 hey everyone havnt posted in awhile but the last few weeks i've been working on the cutlass, getting work done i called a few of my buddys over and we all hung out and worked on the car, shooting the shit ,grilling, and working on the car we got the motor and tranny in, and its all hooked up, now i just got to do plugs and wires and put the carb on, i picked up a 8.5 rear out of a GN for 650$ and the thing looks great no pics of it now but soon! here are some pics of the motor in the car, i also put the radiator support and radiator back in and hooked that up, going to fire it up this sunday for the first time in almost 2 years, once its fired up put the front end back on and start doing body work! i got bored after putting the motor in and saw a full can of black spraypaint so i spray bombed the side of my car, but that will all get sanded and sent out to paint, here are some pics to share! (im the one taking the pics) and here is my silverado SS and the cutlass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feece08 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Not to jack your thread but hears me and my old mans car. We've been restoring it for a LONG time. The body is just sitting on it for storage purposes, the frame and everything under the body is prestine. Getting there, slowly but surely. 65 442 502 BB Sent from my 4G Razor Edited November 8, 2012 by 907BlownSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
