LOL! I almost had to lug around one for a training job. Glad I got out of it(I had no passenger seat belt), cause that would have destroyed my already worn out suspension. :p

You sure have more energy than I do. I would be annoyed if you were doing this to a real classic, or minty G-bodies, but in this situation, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I have an '83 Hurst Olds in the garage with 27k miles on it, but I drive a '94 buick that has been hit on both ends and some parts are quite literally held together with zip-ties and plumber hangers. My friends make fun of me until I drive my H/O to work when I want. I drive it enough to make me happy, but not so much to excessively tear it up. I think I actually enjoy it more than if it were my daily driver where the new would wear off it. It is like a treat when I drive it (which is about once a week right now).

So, do what makes you happy and/or gets you by. 8)

to bad that car in the pics is not completely swapped to a cutlass including the rear of the car.
although i hope this car would never have any Gbody person thinking it is a cutlass because we all (hopefully all) know that the cutlass's have more rounded landau windows instead of the rectangle ones. :rofl:

Well aren't you a genius! :blam: The guy wanted the euro clip from the cutlass on a regal and that's what he did. I was just giving this guy some motivation, because of all the grief all of these clowns are giving him.

Wasn't being a jack, but how many people wouldn't know the back half of the car in the pic isn't a cutlass...Especially on a G-Body forum
