I have a 69 Cutlass S convertible. Will be replacing all suspension, brakes to 4wheel disc, interior, top, and all rubber seals. . Not a colector, but a driver. How does the hood look with a '57 Rocket ? <*)}}}><

A '57 has fender rockets, however a '56 has a large hood rocket.

Well my browser has been doing some very funky things, so I claim that as my reason for not seeing that post. I just spent nearly an hour to upload a picture and it uploaded a different picture than the one I selected, plus a lot of other odd things have been happening.

Carry on...

Whew!!! Lots of parts comimg. Most from OPGI. Replacing all steering and all bushings even body bushings. Converting drum brakes to all disc. Have found 455 block and have it at machine shop waiting its turn. Also replacing both front fenders and wheel wells. Have not chosen differential gear ratio or trasmission. Thinking of a 200-4R with 4.10 gears. Any 'Mentors' out there? <*)}}}><

Great sounding car. Which rear discs did you get? Bimbo?

For hard to find new parts Fusick, Inline, and Parts Place have been decent. The best for me has been individuals on this Forum. Detailed parts wanted postings can improve your chances.
