staggered fit rims would've been sick! well for sitting out that long, the paint still looks glossy...it cleaned up real nicely...most these cars need new weatherstripping all around anyways, and you can get a brand new set just about everywhere...funny, you know the one thing i notice on all the cutlass's that came with the chrome rocker trim, they are all missing that passengers side front fender piece like your missing, it never fails. My car had all the pieces, but i took the passenger side piece off cuz i noticed it was coming off. well i had my dad put it on. lil did i know he was planning on drilling 2 holes on either side and riveting it on instead of using the plastic clips....talk about how mad i was!!!! but i just found a NOS piece off ebay and bought it so now i have all the pieces
Yeah, I wish I would've got the stagger fit, but I can get the look from suspension modifications when I drop it, so I didn't see the need in paying extra for the 18s...
Hahaha! My pops likes to do stuff like that to me too! I learned to ask him how he plans on completing a modification on my car before he does it...
I plan on taking it to the paint shop this week. I'm going to get it painted pearl white. I told the painter that I want all the chrome paneling removed. I've noticed that missing chrome on a lot of Cutlasses too. Another thing I've noticed is that those panels hold water. They held enough water to completely rust out the doors on my Cutlass. If I have the windows down I can see the ground through my doors...I've already bought replacement doors...
I'm also going to remove that rubber side bumper that runs along the middle of the car. I've learned that when the plastic sheds, it's impossible to keep that thing clean...
I am keeping the wheel and door flares, though...
