Hi everyone just a couple question about restoring my 72 cutlass supreme convertible .The car needs a ton of work the upside is the car sat for25years and with a new battery and shot of starting fluid it's running like a champ on the 25 year old gas.my question is where to start underbody and frame ? And work up from there and should interior and new top come after new paint? Thanks for any input

 

Add some pics when you get a chance , and I would not run that old gas anymore .... can cause a world of hurt .

 

I have since put fresh gas in the tank with a little marvel mystery oil added to it .I will add some pics when i figure out how

 

Pis are not too bad . I believe they have to be no bigger then 800 x 600 to which you can shrink them online , and then while your posting click on manage attachments and upload them from your desktop or whatever ... after you close the upload file box out , you can click on each photo listed below manage attachments and copy them to the thread to make them bigger . There is a way to make them even larger when you post , but I forgot how

 

Picture physical size does not really matter, but file size does. They need to be under 1.5MB each or an error will result.
Welcome aboard!

 

Thanks for the help I'll try it

 

Boy! thats a loaded question with many different answers. I think pictures will give everyone a better idea of what your up against. A plan of attack based on the level of restoration your going for will be the first step. A budget will also be something important to consider. Lets see some pix.

 

Im working on getting some pics out .Im hoping for a nice frame on restoration over a period of a couple years in the range of 10 to 15 thousand the car needs several patch panels and considerable body work which ill leave to the pros .all ive done so far is get it running and new master cylinder and brake lines so i can stop it

 

Safety first

 

just tryin out this picture thing

 

ok so i got that figured out more pics to come when i pull this thing out in the daylight

 

Well it worked!
That car has been well abused - you have a good project there.
How does the frame look? I think the bodywork needs to be done before the interior.
Look forward to hearing about its progress!

 

the frame is in great shape with only surface rust floorboards and trunk need only minor work and the top does go up and down and i recently learned it has a posi trac rearend ,so there are some positives to this old girl

 

Great to know - you have a good start right there!
Time to start a resto thread!
