Yeah for sure! Especially one that has been sitting outside forever and had a tree fall on it. Out of all the Cutlass's i have had i think this is only the 3rd i have bought with a vinyl top and I got really lucky on the first two. This one i kind of figured had issues, but i was even a bit shocked.
Okay so getting caught up with this mess. Firstly I had to sort the mouse chewed and rotten vacuum lines so this thing actually functions correctly. The younger me would have just tore all this stuff out.
While I was doing that I had my son tackling the floor. The driver side was Swiss cheese...
Sure that might be a good temporary wheel since the cars current one is so bad and quite frankly too nasty that i dont even want to touch it. The jeep wheels bolt right up?
I will look at the ID tag. It's really hard to tell what color it us because of the fading. I'll snap a few pictures as well of the areas the sun didn't get to
I for sure don't want the forum to go away, which hopefully that doesn't happen. I think things might improve a bit because kids like my son are starting to build Gbodys. My son has his Cutlass all finished and knows several others that have been given them by their parents. So I think they are...
Okay so last night i continued the work on the roof on the drivers side. I got the roof dollied in a little bit better where the big dent had made the roof lose some of its shape. Then i continued with the patch work. I made a new corner for the window channel by bending a small piece around my...
Progress on the roof. I moved on to the passenger side and have the major dent mostly removed.
Then I moved on to cleaning up the rust and removing the really rotted spots.
After that was complete I started welding in the patch panels. It's turning out pretty good so far. Still having to be...
So after I found a lot of the metal is very thin I decided to professionally correct it.
See it says professional. In two languages no less, that's how you know it'll work.
With that being said the results are actually pretty good
So I actually think that sealed it up pretty well and filled...
Started doing a little "repair" cut out the main hole on the passenger side and cleaned up the metal around it. Problem is there is literally nothing in the area to weld to thats any good. So even with my welder on the lowest setting I couldn't get it to not blow through. So tomorrow I'll solve...
Well the vinyl top has for sure taken its toll. Have spent the last few days stripping the interior to clean it and check for damage. The floor needs some work, lots of small holes. The passenger side was soaked, I'm assuming from the drain on the HVAC. Debating how to start "fixing" the damage...
Hey guys, been a while. Kids getting older and keeping me busy. However I did scoop up this Cutlass the other day. Pretty well fully loaded with included huge mouse nests. Plates date it at the year 2000 when it last ran. Got it fired up and it pulled itself on the trailer. Now I'm just going...
