Cutlass Project

[drogg1]

Cutlass is lookin good so far. Lookin forward to seein it put together. You definitely are puttin all the right parts in.

I will be boxing my frame soon and I was wondering what gauge steel did you use to box your frame?

Looks great!

Thanks for the purchase, we appreciate the business! If there was any delay in shipping on our end I apologize... those A-Arms have been extremely popular and we can't make them fast enough right now. But I hope they were worth the wait.

You can use stock springs if you prefer. Lowering springs will offer better performance since the rates are better. The Eibach springs for the G-Body are very decent and drop the car around 1.250". The Hotchkis springs are some of the best but are over a $100 more a set... they would drop it 1" so just a tad higher than Eibach with higher rates as well.

I hope that helps!

Looking really good, lots of progress! If you need a hand with any of it let me know, I'm not far away. Hopefully you can get it done before next summer and we can do some cruising

Well I got my frame and misc parts back from the sandblaster the other day so now I can start reassembling my suspension. I've been having a hell of a time getting my front springs in. Maybe if I put the engine in I would have an easier time, but I don't want to put it in yet. I decided to paint my bilstein shocks because I was not a fan of the yellow and blue.

So I have pretty much one side finished up. Just got to do something about that ugly used rotor.

I got most of suspension taken care of in the last couple days. All I have to say is the coild springs are a PITA without the weight of the car. Here are some before shots.

This is what it looks like now.

Well, It definately wasn't cheap, i had my console, dash, and arm rests done. It cost about 2700 for all of that.

Wow!

Thats some great progress on the frame and suspension. I had a heck of a time putting my springs in WITH the whole car. Had to use an all thread rod, two jacks, and two people and still almost killed myself....lol. Keep posting those pictures...awesome.
