1984 Cutlass Calais Build Pics (SOLD)

[Coveted]

I picked this up yesterday for parts.

Has a rebuilt 350 .030 with a cam, performer intake ect.

Those pcitures were from the forsale add (obviously last year)
I havent had a chance to take my own.

Im parting it out, depending on offset, I'll probably run those wheels on my cutlass.

The motor is going in until my build is done, and Im debating on the buckets from this or my camaro.
The rest of it will be parted out then crushed.
Not a bad pick up for 400$

Bought a harbor freight heat gun, got all that white glue from the moulding off the door 1/4 and fender.
Wondering what kind of product I should use to clean the residue off, something that wont affect it when I paint it, Maybe I'll just sand it off.
Picked up some Rustoleum rusty metal primer and some gloss black.
Im going to be painting my drums and rear end today hopefully, after I clean them up.
I was going to buy new drums, but a Good new drum is like 30$ a piece
I got my old drums turned by napa for cheap, so Paint them I shall.

I'll get some pictures here in a bit, Going back out to start on the rear end in a few.
Everything got delayed today, The upper rad hose on my 96 cutlass started leaking, So I'm changing that tonight aswell.

I just offset my project cost, and I feel like I should get some sort of award or something.
I just sold the 307 out of my cutlass manifold to pan for 150$.
I'm glad I left it in the car so someone could hear it run.

so the rear end isnt buttoned up because the brand new stage 3 posi carrier I bought isnt the right carrier.
I should payed mroe attention when He dropped it off at 7am.
Looked right to me, but nothing to check it against fails.
So now saturday Im driving to the middle of the state, to meet a guy to swap straight up, my open carrier for his posi carrier.

Joy.
More pics tomarrow when I get more done, Ive been putting my cherry picker together, that I just bought.
