79 Cutlass Calais Build

[1979Calais]

First I took down a wall in my house to convert it to a garage. Put dash cap on a while back and it turned out great.

looking good there carlows.are you running the air cleaner assembly on the lt1? reason being i have one if you need one or plan on using it? also you need you a dual diaphram brake booster for that big brake upgrade(when you get around to it😉) i also have a couple,lmk.and ONWARD TO VICTORY!!!

I have an air cleaner already, had to buy a pipe and cut it so it would fit with the AC relocation bracket. Also, don't tell me I need to change the booster out for the big brake upgrade. Guess I need to gone ahead and replace the booster before I finish the brakes. I know one thing, I have learned a lot about these cars from front to rear and top to bottom.

Carlows, those bumpers look great! Did you have them re-chromed?
