Finally drove the Cutlass....

for about .2 miles. It's barely able to drive, but drivable enough. There is no hood, no exhaust, no front bumper, no front shocks, a rigged up gas line and the brakes suck. I got on it a little while rolling at 10-15 mph and I could feel the tires trying to break loose. It has pretty decent power for not even being tuned. Now I don't have to push it in and out of the garage

Trust me, that was the main reason.

Get to those brakes and gas line. Then drive it 2 miles. Then the exhaust and shocks. Then drive it 20 miles. Then a few more things. Then 200 miles. Etc. etc. etc.

Don't blame you for doing it. When I put the body back on my 69 I did the same thing. Had to enjoy it after all the hard work!
