Cutlass Project

Got the drivers side sun visor done, equipped with homelink.

Got some headway on the seats. What a PITA. This definitely takes some patience and a lot of time. Its not as bad as it seems, after you get into it. It definitely takes a little bit of time to figure it out, but once you do, its not too bad.

Got the seats put back together and in the car, Carpet is trimmed up, the seat belts that I had redone are in and its starting to look like a car.

nice build, is that truck bed liner holding up pretty good??

 

[fraido2002]

Well, Its been garaged the whole time since its been done, but it seems to be holding up very well. I needed to remove some to move my console mounts, they weren't exactly lined up correctly. It seems to be very thick and durable. I used a wire wheel to take it off.

I installed my electric choke the other day and it turns out that when they built my motor they faced the distibutor so that the vauum advance was facing straight back, which was buried into the firewall once the body was put on. This of course caused the vacuum hose to get a split and fall off. So I attempted to pull it out and reclock it, but it does not seem to want to come out. It appears to be caught on something inside. I did a little research and it seems it may be the oil pump, but I don't know and didn't want to use brute force to pull it out. So I attempted to re-clock it and just move the wires accordingly. This didn't seem to pay off, because I couldn't keep it running. After a good amount of time messing with it, I killed the battery, which is no big deal. So I decided to start messing with my stereo some more. I was able to get my power wire into the trunk through the spare tire space. I ran the power wire from the front battery through the frame to the back by the spare tire. The negative I just ran through the spare tire space and will ground on the frame. After I let the battery charge over night I went out to give it the old college try again, and it seems that I trashed my starter. After I let of the ignition it still wants to start. So I get to deal with that another day. I need to either replace the starter or get the solenoid to release, then figure out the distributor so that I can get it running again. Oh well, such as life, right?

Here are some shots of the trunk wiring.
