Ok I started this build a while back so first give you the back story and catch you up. It 2 years ago when my friend Jose called me and asked if I wanted a cutlass he saved from a scrap man! All ready having the 79 H/O I now gave my daughter and my 87 cutlass I figured at best it would be a parts car. But when I got to his place I immediately thought wow my mom would love this car (mom ran a 63 327 Impala with a glide and 3:73 when I was a kid) she all ways had cutlass daily drivers so I thought it would make a great cancer remission present for her so I made a deal and brought it home. The scrap man had busted the steering column and trunk lock on the 20 k car that had been sitting in a garage since 1986 so I bought a parts car and started building it unfortunately mom's cancer came back and she lost that fight. She never got to drive it but she loved it and cried when I showed it to her. Upon her passing I was going to sell it. But then again.I had all the parts so here we go

ahahaha it seems like the car culture stopped with my generation, one of my great grandpas was really into cars, idk if he worked on them but my other grandpa (i never met him because he died of asbestos) was a mechanic for police, and my dad says stories about how he would take the cars that he was working on for a spin, and apparently he at one point owned a grand national, my dads first car was a chevy malibu gbody, and my other grandpa bought a sh*t load of cars and raced them. when i was little my dad NEVER did anything with cars, but now that im interested he is doing everything he can to stop me from getting my dream car or building my dream car.
