I'm catching up on posting what I have done to the GP, when I work on it I do parts of jobs to let paint dry or jump on something else due to lack of parts or I change my mind about how I want it so I don't bother posting as the work is getting done.......anyway, manual brake conversion is done, just have to bleed the system...hydraulic clutch system is all together and is bleeding itself as we speak...exhaust is all back together, I trimmed the flrared side of the ball and socket collector cause the flare was too long and would interfere with getting the bolts tight...fuel system is complete with everything nice and tight....Fast efi all installed with just 3 electrical connections to do....rad is in and top plate I fabricated works great, I have the perma cool 19115 push fan installed with just the wiring to do, I need the install kit for the perma cool 19126 pull fan and connect the wire to the relay, I am going to use the Fast fan control for the pull fan and I have an adjustable control I will use for the push fan and I will have a bypass switch for each fan.
 
Swapped out the fuel rail in the wagon and got it up and running again. Walked out of the garage feeling like this:

Just call me Mr. Fixit...
 
Had the set of wheels painted for the Cutlass down in the basement for the last 20 years. Cleaned up all the detail parts and assembled one rim this evening. I forgot how much I love my Ralleys. I'll get the other three done and on the car this weekend. Will need new center cap decals at some point but I think I've seen reproductions on Ebay.

Looking good!!!! Yeah the repop decals are available. I had some made to fit the center caps of my American Racing wheels to give them an old school vibe..

I haven't posted in a while but I've been busy over the last couple weeks. Finally got my 383 assembled and running, pulled a hopefully good trans from a truck at the pick-n-pull, and got the rear end in. Fabed some control arms and brackets for the brake swap, got the blazer brakes on. Just need to finish the plumbing, and mount the sway bar, then I'll set the car back down to measure the pinion angle.
 
Felt like I got a good bit done last night because we were able to get the radio to play, got the little guys up front spaced out and mounted since they are slightly smaller than stock.
