My thought with doing the firewall first is it will keep the body square when the floor pan bracing is removed for the pan to be cut out- NCTyphoonKid

So in the past couple weeks I’ve been battling my chrons disease so been working on the car when I’ve felt ok. I got the frame completely stripped and cleaned and me and my wife painted it using the KBS frame coater kit followed by there satin black top coat that has uv protection. I also got a...- NCTyphoonKid

This one is a 15 dollar from harbor freight I’m honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did I bought it a couple years back. I went back and got another today- NCTyphoonKid

I’ve looked at them and actually did a couple quotes on sending it out to be blasted but it’s in such good shape it doesn’t need much cleanup the worst part is where someone sprayed black paint in the engine area and rear wheel area aside from that everything is pretty quick.- NCTyphoonKid

Got a about 55-60% of the frame wire wheeled yesterday before I cooked my cheap grinder. Will pick up another one today probably and maybe continue working on it this evening. Also stripped the clear coat off the wheels but they have some corrosion that needs to be addressed. I’m going to see...- NCTyphoonKid

Got all the corporate blue pieces painted finally, also gave the frame a real good pressure washing. And ordered this chassis coating kit from KBS from the research I’ve done it seems to be a pretty good product. I hope it is.- NCTyphoonKid

Got the frame mounted up on the engine stands and got the correct wheels in today. Going to get some more dollies tomorrow to set the body on to roll it around. Would like to get the frame back inside to start working on the prep work for it.- NCTyphoonKid

Just opened the boxes up so far I have received both new lower control arms, all new shocks, all new spring insulators, new bump stops, new tie rod ends, and a few other odds for the engine. I ordered all new control arms and I must say the lowers I just received look very nice!- NCTyphoonKid

I think I’m going to do my seats like this set I saw on one of the interior threads, leather and suede I think it looks very nice and clean. Unfortunately my original upholstery is trash and I think it’s worth updating to better materials. I also was able to locate a original 82 GN radio and...- NCTyphoonKid

New to me 1988 Cutlass Ciera xc
So a update on the Ciera I went ahead and put a new fuel pump in the tank, also found the fusible link on the battery cable was junk I think this has been the source of majority of its problems since I got it. After repairing it it’s started everytime. It has a high idle problem I’ve got to...- NCTyphoonKid
