You are definitely wasting no time getting the S dime back to road worthy status! Looking good and happy new years as well from Kentucky!

Btw....the cutlass sounds awesome!

Throwed in a rest of the new exhaust, put the battery in, "primed" it couple it times since I had changed the fuel filter -> starts right up! Not bad, I drove it to garage in november. Idles really nice and the exhaust is as silent as it should be with the iron duke.

And I did primer painter the front of the frame!

Im hoping I will paint it black later this week, and then in the weekend I will be able to assemble the front suspension :)

That's a lucky little truck that it didn't get scrapped. Needs a small block Chevy!

Yeah well it basically was scrap when I bought it :D

Its a daily so I doubt the small block. Would be really cool though! But I have decided that I will get it inspected with the iron duke first, If I'm going to update the engine I will do it later :)

Got the things I wanted and more done this weekend!

Front end needs brake lines, brake hoses and calipers, and shock absorbers(swaybar wasn't assembled when I took the photo but is now):

Did the exhaust, going to do the tip when the bed is in place, so I can get it the way I want to.

Rear end needs only shock absorbers (they're on the way from rockauto), need to get those things done, then I will basically have a functioning car that needs only body and electrical work!

Nice progress again this weekend! Got the shock absorbers in place, placed front brakelines, hoses, calipers etc, bleeded the system. Put the exhaust on, needs only tail pipe! So technical stuff is pretty much sorted if you will. Still ways to go, I think that we are half way there on the build :)

Photos!

Drove it!
