Also known as Automotive Attension Deficit Disorder. The 66 Cutlass is my only project. I normally have 3-4 cars I split my time between and never get anything done. I thought I was cured and have been doing so good for the last year but I have fallen off the wagon. Going to pick up a 64 Lemans disgused are a GTO in Oklahoma today. Its so far apart it will take two trailers to pick it up but its rust free and comes with all the parts to complete. Many new in boxes. Ive always wanted one so I can't pass it up. :seizure:

Back home Sanford and Son style. 4.5 hours each way and about 3.5 hours to load it all up. We put the frame on one trailer and what little bit we could fit in his V6 truck without worrying about it being over loaded.
The rest went in every spot nook and cranny I could find in my truck. Front seat, back seat, bed are all more than packed. A car takes up a lot of room in pieces.
I built he whole car in my head on the way home. I came up with some really cool ideas if I follow through. I do my best thinking on a long trip.

I would't go that far still lots of work to do buts its solid and complete with lots of goodies new in boxes. Since I still have to paint the rest of the car I am thinking change to black. I have always wanted a black car with red trim.
gearheads78 - where exactly in Dallas do you live? I used to live in Forney, TX and your neighborhood looks very familiar to me.

Dude, I feel your pain & know exactly what you are saying.
You are braver than I am to take this on in so many pieces but, it looks like it’s in good shape. It should be a great PT project. Let me know if you ever need any help, I’ll be more than happy to lend a hand.

All the pieces won't be too bad since a very similar car is still fresh in my mind.
Don't think I am going to PT this one more of a restoration with a few hot rod mods. Probably use 15" grey and machined 5 spokes with red line tires.
As for lending a hand.... carefull what you offer. Its a lot of gas between here and Denton every weekend LOL
