Hi im Dylan. Lets start this story from the beginning. Im 13 years old and my Grandpa had an old friends selling a 1983 cutlass and he would let it go for 500 bucks. Me being around all the cars I am all I wanted was my own car to work on. I cut grass week in and week out finally made enough to buy this
. So now I had my car but I didn't really know what to do when I got it. I was 13 and had no money but every dime I made from cutting grass went straight into that car. nothing big just small things like a set of chevy rally wheel
s , or new grills. When I turned 14 I didn't mess with it to much still washed it and kept up with it but now that I turn 15 in a month the big changes are coming. My neighbor is a mechanic so he has a bunch of stuff sitting around all the time. but one day I noticed he had a complete 350 sitting there air filter down to the pan he sold it to me for 100 bucks and even gave me another block. When I got the motor back to my house I popped off the intake and it was a roller motor which was great news for me, because my dad had a left over 358lift cam and lifter set . Then one day im hanging out at my uncles shop where my dads car is, and my uncles buddy walks in with a buick t-type fender saying he doesn't know what he is gonna do with his front end (he went fiber glass one piece)I told him I would buy it off him he said ill give you the whole front clip and you can pick one of my hoods for $300 so I got a complete rust free almost perfect condition front end and a glass-tech 4inch cowl.
That picture is the latest on the cutlass the bumper should be getting installed soon. oh and the holes in the fender is where the exhaust came out on the original car its a BIG turbo and Im thinking about putting mine through there too . Well I feel like this is the start to a great build and a super fun first car!
