1980 Cutlass project from Finland

[Pasikiainen]

Thanks! I would like the rear end to go little lower, just tiny bit. Lets see what happens with that.

Everything went well until I started to bleed brakes. Old bleed valves (not sure what to call them) started leaking, have to get new ones before It's safe to drive...

Looks pretty slick to me 8)

No need to comment that doors are way off, look at the trimming

I'm going to buy universal rear coil shocks+springs for my Cutlass 🙂 Could someone tell me Cutlasses original rear shocks compressed lenght, and open lenght? What would be a good spring rate? Dailydriver, little stiffer would be great compared to original 🙂

Merry Christmas to ya all 🙂

I keep the updates coming when I get something done to Olds 🙂

Started making brackets for those struts 🙂 Planning to fit that panhard bar from a I think 59 Impala at the same time 🙂

Thinking of doing that bracket again, and using original bracket as much as I can. Checked from the web how ridetech did it, and I like it, seems good to me 😉

It's my brothers :lol: Its sold as Taunus here in Finland by the way 🙂

Decided to do those bracket using as much original brackets as possible... This is were I got. Don't know is it a good thing, should struts be 90 degrees to rearend..?

I think my new shocks are bit too loose? They are 150lbs. Should I go for 200 or something?

Decided to do this that way:

Need stiffer springs, other than that, I'm pleased 🙂 Going to sandblast and paint those brackets, maybe this weekend 🙂
