    curiosity

    I agree with anakputa 100%, I got in with a dealer changing oil (no official schooling, just took my cutlass in and showed it off) but a couple guys started after me and have schooling and all that but we started at the same point except he still has 25,000+ in dept. Now all the older guys at...

    Car won't go over 20 mph

    My cutlass did that when it had the original 260 olds motor in it. Check the intake seal. Mine would start and run, but the idle was high and wouldn't get above 20mph. At that point the car had 150k+ miles and I put in a new motor. But when I was able to get a good look at the back ofthe block I...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    Hey xodruxo, its been a while since Ive been on. I don't know how your project is going but if you have the entire caprice harness its pretty easy to wire up. But the harness won't look pretty but it will work. Its a pain to take down the harness and remove the firewall gromets. And yes you need...

    trouble uploading pics from mobile device.

    So I don't have a computer and I do all my updates via my mobile phone. Just upgraded to HTC 4g LTE, but when I try to upload pics it says my attachment is invalid. Wasn't sure if anyone else had this issue and figured it out. Or if I need to switch my settings. Any help is welcome, thanks in...

    Camry Accord or Legacy

    I work at a Honda dealership and I would suggest getting an awd crv or an accord or the accord awd crosstour. Super easy to work on... If you ever needed to that is. Changing oil is a breeze, the most you would have to do is routine services to keep it running for ever. I see older crvs roll in...

    Some of these Craigslist adds just make me laugh

    There is so much wrong with this ad... His second draft I might add... You want to know what's wrong with society these days? We all laugh at this guy and shake our heads, but how many of us have seen crap just like this. It's like someone puked all over the keyboard and hit submit... Not to...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    Pretty much finished up with my head light swap, very pleased with the outcome. I'm fixing the grills right now, some of the taps broke off. Still need to cut up the bezels.

    Towing Capacites (towing weight)

    im not a pro when it comes to trailering but i did work at a trailer shop who did installs and sold numerous hitches and mounts and also fixed plenty of broken trailers... most of the time people will over load their trailers and break that before breaking the hitch or the car. that being said...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    I got the other head light bucket mounted today. Came out pretty good, I haven't got it wired or aimed the lights to see how they will look functioning. I have high hopes (cough) haha. Overall though even with no bezels or grills and the lights aimed all wonky it looks like a different car. Soo...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    Re: 79' Cutlass build. LT1, celebrity head light swap. I finished one side of my headlights. They are fully adjustable so they will would just like stock. Used bondo and fiber glass to graft the area I cut with the celebrity buckets. I still need to cut the bezels to fit, and ill probably use...

    Bought an lt1.

    The LT1 was the best thing to happen to my cutlass. So far at least. Just take your time rebuilding it. Clean it up real good. Remember that you get what you pay for so don't skimp. I used arp hard bolts, and took my time. I also used all new electronics and water pump. Check out my build...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    I started taking apart my head lights and figuring how I want to make these things work. I think I'm going to cut out the buckets in the nose and fiber glass the ones from the celebrity. I'd like to make it work as if it were build that way so make it adjustable and not hack it in there. I've...

    It's cars like this that slowly edge up the value of our cars... The work is there, but I think he will be hard pressed to find someone to pony up the dough.

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    I have a lot of TPI parts, and an ecu. I could be interested in those grills and flakey bezels. Mine are pretty good aside from a couple tabs broke off the back but it doesnt hurt to have extra. You can pm me if you want to try and work somn out or exchange some pics of parts and stuff.

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    Picked up some 88 celebrity head lights today at the yard for 60 bucks. Got the whole light assembly, bulbs and wires to swap over my 80 nose headlights. Should be pretty good looking all said and done. I was also thinking that with this setup I could do HIDs but I'm not sure if I'd like the...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    Got my seats pretty well placed, I might remake some mounts later. But they look good in there and they match the suede I used to cover my dash inserts in.
