I was able to squeeze a little time for the cutlass today. Wife worked so I was on full time Daddy duty.
I cleaned up the rear calipers. Kinda smoothed them up a bit and shaved the casting lines.
Used air craft paint remover on the fronts to take off the orange paint and let me tell you they...
Aircraft paint remover and paint for the calipers. I wanted to do those whole swap this weekend. Unfortunately when I was taking apart the rear calipers and brackets I noticed each side had a tweaked slider pin. Looks like the bent then while trying to change the pads. I ordered new slides for...
I’m doing the “baby Brembos” up front and Blazer disk in the rear. I would love to find another hydroboost system. I hate myself for selling the one I was hoarding!
the OEM ones that have been in my wife's cars have been good.
Try calling a couple local used auto yards and see how much they would want for one. Some might even still have the foam/gel fix-a-flat canister still in them.
Forgot to order the brakes lines when I ordered the rest of the brake parts. So I ordered a Russel's Gbody kit and 2 individual 9" lines for the rear
along with these line brackets for the axle.

Well I forgot to turn my alarm on last night.. Woke up late, I normally take the back roads to work it’s about a 40 min ride(24 miles).
taking the main interstate makes it about 20 min, so today was the first time the Cutlass has been on the highway. Man was it smooth! I still get impressed by...
Went to LQK went for Camaro rear disk but no luck. Ended up settling for some off a blazer. No console. Didn’t really like anything. Found a couple jeeps for the shaft but only one was a 93 and the rest were 95+ which I think doesn’t work. As for the a/c bracket I might just do the dirty dingo...

Not necessary today but I sold the daily on friday so now the cutlass is the daily.
There is a lot I need to do to make thing right on but the money from the sierra selling in gonna fund it.
I'll be posting on the what did you buy thread in a little but the list is quite long 🤭
That is my plan for now. Ive always done it on all my cars. I need to find a good product to remove the baked in water spots then plan to do the rainx. I eventually need to get the wipers working for the safety inspection in NC. For now I'm keeping my cars registered under FL.
I’ve been driving it quite a bit. I love this car so much and honestly aside from light vibration above 70 from the wheels not being balanced, it really cruises so well. It’s real smooth. I may add some resonators to try and quite it down some but the kilmat and carpet made such a drastic...
Today was a good one!
Finally finished the carpet although I’m super happy with how it came out. I think it’s just the shifter and how I cut around it.
I paint the old sill plates. I couldn’t find my nice ones but these came out decent.
Put the seats in buttoned most of it up. Then took the kids...
Yes and no. So when deletes are done, it is as simple as when we did with cats. Just drill it or chisel it’ out. What’s not so simple is the ecm and calibration side. It won’t only be the pressure sensor but also temp since the doc won’t be there to create the heat it needs. The simplest way to...
Finally got around finish the new cable to the starter and from the battery to the block. I routed the starter lead through the front with a 90* terminal seems like it’s further from the header now. Also found the starter signal wire had a loose butt connector. Finished the kilmat and threw the...
