hello from Texas.

Hi. My name is Gerald and I am from Abilene, TX. I currently own an 86 cutlass supreme and a 71 olds cutlass supreme. The 86 I have not drivin for about 8 years, the 71 for about 6-7. I parked them both because I had found the next thing to drive. I would like to start the rebuild of my 71 mainly because my little brother got the fire going again. The 71 was damaged and "raged out" by the previous owner, he did not do a very good job at maintaining the thing at all. So my plans are to fix all the damage, fix any rust that was cause from removal of the vinyl top, rebuild mechanically with some extra pep, and add some custom touches.

This pictures are not very good, but they give you and idea on what i am starting with. See you around.
