That paint is loud! Hood looks good though.

That was the color of his old car with the same heavy gold and silver metal flake. The Cutlass could use a repaint due to the amount of scratches from it's previous life, but my son won't paint it due to his old car was 3 days post paint job when it was totaled. Superstition !

Thanks for the compliment though.

Bonnewagon-I don't feel bad anymore. Haha sucks man. That sounds like a lot of work for something so miniscule. Good luck man.

after listening to the ticking all summer I finally changed the leaking header gasket. Took it for a test run and the car really likes the cooler air.

little crusty but nothing a wire wheel and paint can't fix. Going to need new brake lines and wheel cylinders. Can you see the quarter inch drive socket on the bleed screw?

You gotta get me one of these rear ends before winter, since you're in Iowa and all. PM me next time you come across one. I'll pay of course.

This one came from Grand Rapids Michigan. Only 150 bucks to ship. I have asked around the local Grand National guy's, but none of them want to give up anything! Keep a eye out and be quick if you want one I guess. I was going to try and get it in my car for Cruise To The Woods, but decided to do it right this winter.

Drove the GP to my son's house in Mapleton which is about 35 minutes from my place. It's a nice drive on 2 lane country roads. I cut the grass which takes about 2 hours to get some exercise and then jumped in the 80˜ salt water pool with my my son and my grand kids....then a nice drive home...life is good..:)

GP- that's nice country around there. I get a seasons pass to Belwoods / Shand Dam the last 3 years to boat and fish. I figure we may retire to around Arthur / Erin area when the time comes
