1969 Cutlass

So here is something that's been slowly work on. I have have worked on alot of stuff the last few weeks, and I'm hoping to get alot of work done the next few weeks. I need to swap out the rear end, and install the rear suspension.

I have a few parts large parts to order such as a exhaust system, 1 inch sway bar, front disc brakes, driveshaft, and I still haven't decided what rear shocks to use, but they will be of the adjustable form.
I still have to buy the nickle and dime parts, but I'm more concerned with the larger partrs listed above. I plan to install the interior next week, then get the measurments for my driveshaft. I will utilizing a Olds 461 and turbo 400. This is a street/strip car with more street use than the latter. Here are some pictures of the car, and some of thw work I have done. I had new front floorboards welded in, and a small section on the rear passenger side got a metal patch welded in. I'm excited about this, and I'm ready to get her on the street, whenever this Midwest weather lets up.

You need to take some more pics when your out next. The trunk turned out really nice. You gotta show that off. Also no plug for Howards Garage?
