And....this all can't be done on the weekend?

Oh well...it's just, well you know many of us have been following a long time and can hardly wait to see you driving this project....now we have to wait until next year....again?

J/K, all selfishness aside, take your time, get it right, it'll be worth it 8)

I really hope to get it down to Oldsranch's place to put it on the lift and clean everything under the car as well.

On the silver car, I have a shiotload of cleaning to do under the hood from body stuff too. Since my 455 is out right now, it is time to do it. I had to pull my HVAC box top off too since it was not sealed well enough to keep rainwater out of the PS footwell.

Well, next year Norwalk, here we come!

Well, paint has started! Working on the jambs, inner fenders and underside of trunk and hood. Once that's finished we'll hang the doors and fenders and start aligning body panels and it will be ready for final paint.

I've been following this build for a long time now. This is a testament to the fact that you can't rush perfection. Can't wait to see it finished. Did you ever get those wheels? I looked into the Vendor that sold them and apparently they are either out of business or changed websites.

Looking good glad to see it with paint in the jams, you have put a sh*t load of work into this car glad to see it finely paying off.

Thanks everyone.

BigGeorge, I never bought the rims that I have in my rendering. I was planning to when I upgrade down the road but like you I noticed the company apparently went out of business. So when it comes time I'll likely just find some that looks close.

I love this project. It gives me a lot off courage to finish my own project. Mine is a budget build but at least I', doing everything I can afford to make it a solid car.
Your Cutlass however is going to be the most awesome out there
