Well it's been a while since I've had to do anything to the Cutlass since getting it back on the road with the LS swap, but finally started stripping down a set of rust free doors so I can get them body worked, primed and on the car. Also been gathering parts to put in a factory heat only setup. I bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago and bought a forged N crank for the big block and sent everything to the machine shop to get everything correct this time so I'm waiting on my 455 to get back from the machine shop and will get it re assembled, then start blowing the car back apart for all of the upgrades.
this weather,i beat it like it owed me money$$$$$$$$$$$ that girl with me today said she wasn't afraid of cars and liked roller coasters,she lied,pawed all over me to stop 😏save you the trouble of asking,no pics today. 👎😛
You should be glad she drives a Toyota corolla if she drove a Mustang her words would’ve been is this thing floored
This is what you need to make a copy of to fix things.
It's been a gamble on ordering anything from them but making them yourself would be quicker.
Took the Cutlass next door to start the tank swap. Got the cell out quick, neighbor got the new mounts welded in, and I sprayed some fresh paint to protect from rust.
Annnnnd then we hit a wall!!! Couldn't get the straps attached for anything. Ended up towing the car up the driveway and back into my garage...good because it was misting rain all damn day!!!!
I fought and fought with these straps. Only thing I can think is they're bent at the wrong spot. I managed to get them attached with 80mm long bolts, but that isn't gonna fly as the straps aren't tight. Got the tank hung enough to move my jack, hook up the fuel lines and wiring. Gonna mess with it tomorrow, but I'm out of steam.

Got the parking brake bracket in, and connected. Works great. With that finished, I reinstalled the kickpanels and sill plates that have been waiting to go back in since I finished the AC dash install.
