Some pics.

 

That looks like a w29 motor!

 

Hey , Im thinking of some up grades like an intake , headers and maybe a mild cam?? Any advice on cams?

 

i have cheap 31 grind cam.

get a hydroroller 4 your car if you can afford it!

 

??? I don't get it. In 72 any engine except the X code 455 could be part of the W29 package.

 

Being the car is a 442 W-29 option I thought it must be a w-29 engine

 

No worries. Looks like an L34 350/350
The W29 option was basically an appearance and handling package. It was an available on all 2 door Cutlass models in 72.

 

I fix'd the 2 body mount holes that had some rusty badness.

 

That looks awful familiar lol. Good job man.

 

Very nice metal work. Now get rid of that other nasty scaling and you'll have a thing of beauty. You going to paint or powdercoat?

 

Thanks Shane.

 

Gona get the frame blasted and then I'll prime and paint it. Think I might get a quote on powder coat for the A arms. That will be the decision maker.

 

Did some stuff today.

 

Well that's a pretty looking starter. You just put in new brushes or did you also do the bearings too? Bench tested I presume?
The control arms (front and back) and springs look good. Still one more coat to go?

I found that cleaning / sanding and painting the springs took forever and the angles you have to shoot the paint? You need to be a contortionist to get everything covered. Looking good Henry.

 

Yup , and yup. lol.

 

Did some more stuff.

 

Wow that looks nice! Did ya go to inline tube to pick up your lines?

 

I did what you suggested , the Port Huron thing , its great. They fit real nice too.

 

Ya I hear you , I had the springs blasted then i epoxy prime and painted. Painting the springs was a bit of fun.

 

Really good progress you're making Henry! Couple of questions for ya!
I see you got the same ILT brake line package I did. You have any problems straightening them? Also, could you please post a pic of the front brake lines attachment across the engine cradle area? I gotta do mine with the engine in place for now. Thanks

 

They straightened out not to badly , I try'd to do it like they show on there web site , had to use my knee a little. Here are some pics, hope they help.

 

Thx Henry, that helps a lot. BTW, purty Proportioning block!

 

Hey Henry your making some good progress , looks really good ,frame turned out nice from the last time I saw it.I had some lesson today from Shane on welding at his place
gotta give a lot of credit to you guys that can weld those body panels nice and straight!

 

Hey , thanks.

Very nice progress Henry.

 

Looks awesome! It's always cool to see a body and frame back together.

 

Lookin good dent makin progress, drove mine to a local show tonight was a good time.

 

Thanks , hopefully I can do that next summer.

 

Compressor motor quit today so I'll take a few days off while its off getting rebuilt . Anyway here's some pics.

 

Coming along nicely!

Git that there compressor motor up n runnin Henry. You're making fantastic progress on that car. Well done sir!

BTW, did you get that msg from Craig that COJ is defunct? Good thing you came over here.....

 

Car is looking great. Where did you get your quarter panels from?

 

thanks Shane,

 

Hey thanks , probably won't get it back till next week(when I go back to work).

I did hear about COJ , kinda bummer .

 

Thanks , I got the quarters from my local auto parts store , probably as good as any other supplier , can't remember the price but they were not to bad.

 

Looking awesome Henry! Giving me motivation to get back on mine!

 

Made some parts yellow.
