Came up just little short on my wife's Cutlass/442 Christmas present conversion. Still need to swap the grill and bezels out, install my restored dash, steering wheel, and a few other detail things. Cutlass script's holes filled/paint blended. Mechanically it's a 442 all the way around except I went with turbo 350 vs. stock tranny. Also, upgraded to front and rear disc brakes, converted to floor shift, swapped to tinted glass, and went with an electric fan vs. stock. Considering she had no idea I was doing this made it pretty far. Santa dropped it off late last night...was in the garage this morning when she got up. First time she's seen in a year...she's owned since 1985.

Thanks...pictures make it look a little cleaner than it really is. Still things to do, but will be a nice driver plus car. Yes, I've had many nice parts over the years, but sell most of those to folks doing high end restorations. All the cars I do are driver plus cars.
