This is my 72 Cutlass. Pretty much stole the car itself and only paid for the parts he's put into it and the paint job so far. It's a perfect car for me to call my project car. Future plans for it are getting a SMALL system in it for some SQ probly like 1 10" or 1 12" in a small sealed box with some component speakers, and maybe a zex system eventually for a lil extra 'umph' on command. I need to get pictures of it now becouse these are from when I first got it and it wasnt running but after about $60 it was running and 100% illegal to drive haha but a guy can't resist with a car like this. I'm currently broke since im putting on my edelbrock intake and carb on along with a new bigger radiator $14 to my name right now...
Well got the carb, intake, and new radiator on it.
Ran decent but sounded like it had a miss drove it any ways to see how it was very nice. Did a compresson test the next day... 0 compresion in #2... I was hoping for a burnt valve but nooo blown piston ring ir a hole in the piston not sure. Now I need to go and yank the motor a lil pissed with only 3 weeks to go of auto left. I now have 3 options... help me decide Rebuild the 350 with massive performance parts ie. cam, roller rockers&lifters, & boring. Just rebuild the 350 as is. Get 455 Olds and rebuild that as stock excluding headers & intake.
Well turns out the piston is chiped on the edge badly. Had the motor out in 3 days and torn apart down to the pistons within the following 2.
Ok so yea this rebuild is gona run me about $700-$1000 dollars and i nead some more opinion so hit up the pole again folks...
Heres some pics of the body after its just about fully assembled...
The worst panel on my car hoping to get a new one.
