Scott I've been so busy I didn't know you got paint on it it looks friggin great man congrats. I was just taking some time to catch up and wow you'll be slamming it together in no time body work all ways takes longer than people expect but if done right it's worth the wait
Thanks Eric, no worries buddy...you've had your hands full lately. The Cutlass just got painted this week. The bodywork was done the first week of November, it's been sitting at the paintshop since then. From what I saw, the major bodywork from the roof skin swap and quarters being replaced looks spot on! Nobody will be able tell either was replaced which was the ultimate goal.
I'm itching to get it back now and at least get it mostly together in the next month or two when time permits. I'd like to have the 4L80 soon so that I can get a converter ordered and have the engine/trans in around spring time, fingers crossed!
I'm tuned in on your '78 buddy, hopefully your guys get you a reliable trans together soon so you can cruise it when it warms up outside.
Yea if I can get there did you read up on my crew cab lol I've lost my mind but I'm still rolling!
Lol, yeah I saw it. You'll figure it out man, we all have faith in you. You've persevered a ton already, just another proverbial bump in the road.
Paint job came out sweet ! Congrats!.. @#alittlejeolous
Haha, thanks buddy! The thing I didn't plan on though was dropping in a 500+hp drivetrain, likely more once I get used to the boost. My frame hasn't been boxed or notched like yours, so I foresee some added bracing going in down the road. FWIW, I do have new poly body mounts, and my suspension is stiff so I "might" be okay. Only time will tell I guess.
Earlier today I got the call I've been wanting to hear for several years...."this is the shop, your Cutlass is done and ready to go!"
I just happened to be down the road from there on my route so I swung by to check it out! It looks killer, and the bill is now paid! I'm hoping to pick it up Friday afternoon and start assembling this weekend. Here are a few pics for now, I'm happy happy happy 😀😀😀!!!!
