Bought the interior and trim from a guy in excellent condition. All I need to get now, is a new shifter, carpet and new vinyl half top.

needs a shift like this

I have a couple of cutlass 4 speed shifters if your looking for one.
one is a stock 3 speed, with a new 4 speed detent plate that locks out 4th gear, you can just push up from 1st to 2nd and to 3rd, but you have to push the button to go up to 4th gear. Uses a Monte SS shift cable.
other is a stock 4 speed cutlass shifter.

Yes of course I get all my motivation from this forum. From G body of the month, to the build thread posts. Tons of useful knowledge, and lots of different visions for the platform.

I may be interested, not sure if I want to go that route.

I have mixed feelings about that. One says to ditch it, yet I feel the want to keep it also. I have a place to keep it out of the elements.

That does help. Expect a lot of rust repair with how cracked your top is. The only giveaway on my car is the missing chrome trim around the back window. Otherwise most would think it is a hard top car.

Very nice!!!!!! I'll be watching

Thanks I have a vision on my head and so far it's going in that direction.

Wow, great looking Salon. That color combo with the blacked out grill looks good.

Thanks Anubis! Digging the name by the way. I'm just want a nice strong running classic ride to enjoy for tears to come.

I've seen roller rockers under stock covers plenty of times. If you insist on more clearance, you could do 3/8 rail spacers.

But, the cast aluminum ones are nice looking, too.

I think those will work thanks. All I need to do is paint them. I still want the others if they will fit but can wait. I'm anxious to get the motor in and drive.
