NW Arkansas!

[Crow.0]

Hey everyone I just moved to the North West Arkansas area and own an '86 Cutlass Supreme w/ the Brougham stamps all over it.
I picked this car up for little to nothing a few years back and since then haven't had much of a budget to do anything but put
a 350 Chevy under the hood in place of the cracked 307, with a turbo 350 behind that just to get it moving.
My hopes are to get the car back into running condition and make it look pretty again. It has torn weather seals and dented chrome
all over it so advice on where to pick up the little bits and pieces would be greatly appreciated. I'll keep searching this forum and
be an avid member over the time so I hope to get to know some people eventually and see some people at car meets around the
country.
Thanks in advance everyone! -Crow

Welcome to the site. I am all for saving the chrome but if yours is in bad shape it's best to give up on it and buy the fillers and just eliminate it. Much cheaper. You can buy fillers from www.gbodyparts.com , or you can also buy the clips on there too. The chrome pieces themselves you have to buy used on here since they are not reproduced anywhere at this time. I have 2 Cutlasses, 1 with chrome intact -1 , and another w/ a few missing & damaged pieces. I'm going to eliminate all the chrome (except the door / sideposts) on one of the cars very soon. LMK which ones you need if decide to keep and I'll keep you in mind.

Case in point the 'G-body of the year' on main page has a tastefully executed deleted chrome from the doors. On my 88 I am going to keep the chrome since that car is white but on the other car I don't want it anymore. It just looks too out of place.
