So last week, we started on the floors. there were 3 main rust spots that needed to be patched up. i round a near perfect 87 cutlass in a junkyard, and payed $300 for front back right and left floorboards in good condition.
so far we have 2 of the 3 replaced, and still need to do all of the seam sealing. hoping to have this little portion done with by the end of the week.
Today we replaced all 4 shocks with bilstiens. the rears were easy, ran into a problem in the front, and had to cut the bolts and get new ones, but we got them all on and im excited to feel the difference.
we also got new rotors, pads, shoes, and drums. today we installed the new shoes, and drums.
since the rears were done, i decided to put on the tires to see how the car looked. right now i think they look alright, but it will be different when its on the ground and the car is completed.
Very nice Cutlass.... I had an '86 442 before some woman ran a red light and t-boned it.
One question though, what's with the disgusting photobucket name?

thanks, its going to be even nicer once im all finished with it. haha, my photobucket name is a nickname my brother calls me and he made the account for me so im stuck with it.
Today we did front brakes. put on new rotors, and pads. I also finally got the heads back, so i can start putting the motor back together this week. looks like its gunna be all done and assembled by the end of friday. I had the heads sent out to get ported, polished, new valves, springs, and paint. they are basically brand new heads.
