From A Shell To A Shell With Guts


Finally decided to join the forum. I'm a proud owner of a 1969 Cutlass, holding it down in the fine state of MN. It's been almost a year and the project is coming along pretty nicely. Maybe if I quit getting distracted, it will be back on the road this summer!
Bought it as a shell. A rather nice one, pretty rust free although there is a lot of body filler and patching (I deal with enough rust with m other projects). Dropped in a rebuilt chevy 350 and a TH400 (Not really proud of this, really all I had at the time. Looking to swap in a Olds big block someday when I get my hands on one). Got everything running, did some wiring, tubing, and put together a drive shaft, just needs brake work, lights, front bumper mount and some other small things.

Welcome to the place with all the answers. If it's running, you're one step ahead of me.
