Welcome. What part of Louisiana are you in. I have lived in Texas a long time but am from Louisiana originally. You will have an unusual car being a 4 door with buckets and a console. I don't think that was available originally. It will be cool. Good luck on your car.

Welcome to CO! It's amazing to see another early-70s 4-door Cutlass in good condition these days. I have to say that my '72 F85 is rarer, but yours is definitely up there. So cool!

started installing the new ac compressor and lines

have to change the inner and outer tire rod has a little play in steering

and my fuel clock and speed guages dont work do anyone have any suggestions on what can be wrong please need help still new trying to be hands on

A bit late with the welcome on this one, but welcome anyway. Nice to see another 4 door not headed to the wreckers.
