84 Cutlass build thread

[rangertom]

Well i've already started with mods and changing the interior... Wish i could do a frame off but right now i just don't have the means so i guess this isn't really a "BUILD" thread but more of a custom thread...lol anyways hope you all enjoy the pics...

I know, i'd much rather tear it down to nothing and do it right, but right now just isn't the right time for me.... maybe someday

Loe the new interior color! Really sets off the woodgrain.how did you go about attaching the overhead console to the roof?

 

[rangertom]

Thanks L.A.X., there is a front mounting hole in the console already and by luck there are 2 screw holes in the roof support dead center right above the windshield, then in the bach i just used the domelight mounting plate that came in my brougham and drilled 2 holes in the plastic around the current dome light and replaced the normal smooth studs with some #6 machine screws and small wingnuts and that was all she wrote. When i put the dome light plastic cover on it hides the screws & wingnuts...

Well i finally got around to finishing putting in my new bucket seats from an "01" Grand Am, man they are comfy, i prefer the support to the pillowtop brougham seats that i had. Just need to get them reupolstered when i get the money and figure out a color but the grey isn't bad for now.

well getting my bucket seats and comp/temp rearview mirror in today really motivated me to get to work on my door panels so here they are getting painted...

The overhead console install is sweet. I know where u r coming from on the stock fluffy pillow seats. Lol. My first cutlass when I was in high school was like that . I got lucky with the 1 I have now its a factory bucket seat, floor shift car. It's a shame my factory console was busted all to hell, so i put a floor console out of a same year blazer your overhead console came out of

Nice. What type of paint did you use on the dash and door panels? Was it enamel, acrylic; etc. Also did you use any type of primer or adhesion promoter?
