70 Cutlass Build Tread

My project is going to start in the spring, but I want to go ahead and start the build tread. My first plans are to do all the body work. Make it whole and replace the rusty sheet metal. The pics I have are from when I first got the car.

So I know I need to take more recent pics. Since the pics have been taken I have cleaned it up and organized my parts. Getting it ready for the spring so I can start.

My other plan is I'm going to build a mild built 455 Olds engine to go in it.
I have th350 right now which can be built to handle the power of the 455, but I'm on the look for a th400. The rear end has 3.08 with posi so I'm going to leave it alone.

I'm not worried about the size of the first pics. When I get start on the build I will try to make my pics bigger and better detailed of the areas I'm working on.

The first area of attention is the upper dash, than around the windows couple of small areas of rust , floor pans which aren't too bad, left quarter panel, LH outer wheel house, lower replacement panel for fenders, trunk lid has some rust, and that's most of the rust.

I removed most of the interior today found Disney Land for mice. Looks like it has been shut down for sometime now.

I guess my defrost vents won't work if I keep this one. I pulled a good one off a car at a junk yard.
