Got them home this time!!

We used different trailers this weekend. Brought a 68 Cutlass and a 71 Cutlass to a new temporary home. If you all remember last weekend I tried to get the 71 and that trip went bad quick! But here's some pics of this trip.

That's great - success after all those trials and tribulations. Your trailer story was a good one and brought forth some excellent "lessons learned". Glad to see everything is where you now want it to be!

Looks like the 71 has quite a few good parts on it. Quite the wild paint job on the 69 drivers door!

The wild paint job on the door of the 68 is actually how my mom and dad have their cars painted. My mom has a 68 Cutlass and my dad has a 70 442 on a 74 GMC Jimmy 4 wheel drive frame. They are both painted white with orange stripe's. My dad also has a 68 442.

Both of these cars were sitting at my dad's old shop and we had to get them moved because the shop was sold. they had been in those same spots since the late 90's. I will be using the frame from the '71 9has disc brakes) and possibly some of the floorpans and fenders from the '68. My core support is rusted pretty bad on the driver's side so I may try and figure how I can fix it with 1 of these. I know it will take some fabrication because they are different.
