started on the 70 Olds again

[oldzzy]

Well i finally am able to do some more work on the 70 Cutlass again. I have some rust on the drivers side floor pan to fix up. I am drilling out the spot welds on the center floor brace so that i can remove it. The worst part of the floor is above the center brace. I have finally removed everything from the interior of the car so i have less weight when i flip the car on it's side. I bought a full length drivers side pan and a new center brace but i think i might be able to reuse the original center brace. The new center brace has the seatbelt holes in a different spot than my original. Now since my car was originally a bench seat car i am not sure if the bucket seat seatbelt location is different or the same. The original holes are more forward than the repo piece. I am going to bucket seats.

It's been awhile but i'm back at it again. I got the floor all zip screwed and ready to weld in.

What kind of drive line/suspension are you going to put in the car?

[oldzzy]

Plans are to keep the original 350, TKO 600, 12 bolt 3.91 posi. I am using the stock control arms with 2" lowering springs.

Welded in the floor, turned out pretty good for my first time. There was lots of grinding tho! I had to weld in 260 zip screw holes! lol

Laid down some epoxy primer today. The weather here is suppossed to to take a turn for the worse so i thought i should get the bare metal covered while i still had nice weather. I sprayed the pass side quarter, drivers side floor, firewall, and the underneath. The patches on the quarter panel will be fixed but i am leaving that up to a pro lol.

the coke bottle shape on these cars is so gorgeous especially when it's bare metal. Keep up the good work.
