Howdy folks!

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. Been chasing down some oil leaks... I think I got them all now though.

Now that I can drive around now without leaving an oil slick I'll get some better 'after' pics of it.

Just got these seats in, I didn't really like the ATV seat I had in there anyway.
Believe it or not these bomber seats are more comfortable than they look.

Ok waiting on some carpet to finish the interior.

In the mean time...

Made this trim piece to fill in the gap between the grille and the front bumper.
They did originally have a splash pan here but didn't want to spend $200 for one.

Home made beats store bought anytime. Looks like a fun project.

Well, just about done.
It gets a proper exhaust on Thursday.
Interior done.

First car show on Saturday.

The '67 Cutlass is Dan Williams car, he was my body and paint guy.

We were both cruising the town today.
