    79 Cutlass Calais Build

    Maybe you could pop rivet the floor pans in for a temp solution so you can carry on and then figure out the welding later.

    What's it worth??? [pics]

    Well, last week I attempted to drive an 85' Camaro with a 486 that's been sitting in a barn for a year three hours back home. Broke down an hour into the trip - it wasn't pumping gas anymore. I towed it to my brother's house and last night I went to his house to retrieve the car. Arrived at 8pm...

    I posted the car on craigslist @ 4.5K. Of course, if anyone on this board is interested send me a PM and we'll work out a better price.

    I appreciate the input. I'm taking a loss by selling the car but I was also thinking between 3-4k. The wheel trim is in the trunk - I removed it all after I lost a center cap. I ran the pipes that way cause it was easy. 8)

    What's it worth??? [pics]

    During the summer break, I purchased a non-running 307 cutlass as a project car. Fast forward a few months and thousands of dollars and I have a complete 455 daily driver. I've racked up around 1,000 miles on the rebuilt 455 :( but unfortunately I have to sell the entire car to make room for an...

I'm way past the point of turning around 8) Hail damage is a motha but i'll find out the end result this weekend when I get some free time to throw some paint at it. Around 3hrs to mask the car.

    Fixing Severe Hail Damage ??

    I'm continuing with trying to fix the hood. Refilled today and shot in primer and blocked it out - it looks like it'll be straight enough. I definitely recommend not repairing hail damaged parts if replacement is available. Time/Material/Effort is not equivalent to the end result which may be a...

    Getting Your Foot In The Door In The Auto Industry

    I've been in the auto industry for 5 years and I worked at both small and big shops. A big shop (dealership) is the easiest to get into - they will take oil change techs that have 0 experience. The problem with a dealership is that it's difficult to do anything besides oil changes. After...

    Fixing Severe Hail Damage ??

    Here's the car right after being bought from Craigslist. My brother bought it with the intent to use the body panels to fix his hail-damaged car. The parts-car isn't really too bad of shape besides the blown engine and the f'd windows and piles of cat puke. :puke: Used engine from a...

    Fixing Severe Hail Damage ??

    I've done some bodywork in the past - but I have never encountered hail damage this severe. A tornado had blown threw Kentucky a few months ago - and subsequently I bought an Oldsmobile Alero parts-car and the owner changed the hood and trunk lid with his hail damaged parts. So I have an Alero...

    Turbo 400 Shift Kit recommendation?

    I just put a 455/t400 into my 88 cutlass and love the power - but the shifts are way too soft. What are you guys running for shift kits in t400s? I want something suitable for the street. Is there much of a difference between TCI/BnM/TransGo? Any other advice is appreciated. Thanks.
