chops build thread!

[chophead]

I just reread this whole build, nice to see you are back at it. I'm looking forward to seeing it done.

Man thanks. It's like most of my stuff. I do some work n back off. I now have a full time machine shop making parts for side by sides. And with 2 kids its tuff getting it all done. But this car my wife got me when we didnt have alot so I will see this thru. Besides another cutlass on the road is another lost soul saved!

Well her she is. Still wearing her green mossy patina n weathered look. Hey I paid alot for that there look...
Well now the real fun begins.
I can say the money spent int the suspension, brakes and wheels was well worth the cash. I love this car. Even tho it seems sitting wasnt good on alot of stuff and I have issues to address...guess what? My car is back on all 4's and running. It's not sitting anymore! Or on Jack stands...so I dont care how its looks or sounds to anyone else. It's a work of art to me and it will only get better. I will take and post more pics but this is after the 1st ride and I can say its awesome

So there's always a gremlin hiding....and my fuel pump crapped out. Sooo Advanced Auto to the rescue. New holly pump ..cost 101. With 25 percent off n a 20 dollar perk reward.65. Another 20 perk reward paid for the collector gaskets. Anyways tomorrow I will install the pump and collector gaskets n see what NEW GREMLIN WILL ARISE
