Looks great Charles; some nice bling there. Can't wait till you have 'fire in the hole'!
BTW, what are you going to use for an air breather now that the stock air cleaner won't fit?

Sounds exciting! Just a thought. I recommended this to Tony. Since you're thinking about a custom console for gauges etc, have you looked at the products that W70442 makes? They are custom for 68-72 Cutlass and retain the 'original' look while adding functionality with that 'special look'. Just a suggestion; have a look at some of his products - he also does custom work to match customer requests. Scroll through the whole thread; there's a gauge/radio cluster that's custom for 68/69 there too! https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...tml#post171504

I think Randy does stuff like that too. If it's already on your drawing board though....
and I forgot another thing. I don't want to be the bad guy for getting you to spend another 13000??
