a friend of mines is cutting 2 cutlass down to make space, so i aksed him if the regal and cutlass chasis are interchangeable and he said yes. so does any one else on here agree. plans for it would be restore chasis and all the good stuff on to the cutlass frame ( bushings, frames, arms ect ect) until i get ready to change the regal body parts to the cutlass chasis. would that work ??

Yes, that would work. With a new frame, you could Box/Brace the frame, too, so it wouldn't be so floppy as a convertible.

before and after

•they fixed the park issue, when i put the shifter in park it would go in reverse. all he did was closen the bracket.
•the idler pulley was off by a washer we got that fixed.
•we found the right inserts for the radiator leak leaking coolant.
•the engine had a mis fire so we replace the fuel injector #2 no luck so he pulled the fuel injector pig tail and it was hanging from one wire out of 2.
•changed spark plugs and wire.
•installed minimum oil gauge and tempature gauge and battery gauge.
•for last he finshed installing the check engine light and the scanning machine plug in housing.

cars running like my 2016 gmc sierra or better finally i see improvement!

damn gauge pin had a bigger thread then the one that fits for the tempature housing has any one dealt with similar issues and i put money the oil one will be the same

 

[Emmanuel cuellar]

new gauge thread is about 1/2 and the stock ones 1/4 is there a reducer i can get or did i get the wrong gauges?
