Davin's newest project

He already has a regular car and a "project" car, a 1972 Monte Carlo.

But I suppose when you're into cars, you just can't resist another, and another, and another...

This is the Cutlass.

Here are the deets:
1971 Cutlass Supreme
4-door hardtop
Original color was gold with a white vinyl top.

I bought it last May for $1,000.
Since then I have:
Did a tune up (new cheapy carb, plug wires, plugs, etc.)
Replaced the grill, hood, radiator core support, radiator
Pulled the engine and put in new freeze plugs and resealed everything
Put on new wheels and tires
Had rear gears replaced
New bushings in front end
New carpet and upholstery (upholstery still in progress)
Bought an HEI distributor (havent installed yet)
And that's not counting all the little stuff (new dash lenses, dash trim,radio, package tray, an air cleaner, alternator, etc.)

Wow. That's a lot of work. I think I'm more of the "put gas in it and push the go pedal" kinda gal!

So we'll consider these the "before" pics, right?
