      Backyard beast

      Hello all you Olds guys. jimbo from Tx. here with a 1971 Cutlass "S". I've had the car for about 7 months and i am going for a resto-mod. Currently the "beast" is completely disassembled as i am working on the frame at the moment. Plans include upgraded brakes, hotchkins springs, poly bushings all over, upgraded interior with new gauges and still debating whether 18s and 20s or 20s and 22s. Why the name "BACKYARD BEAST"? Everything will be done in my backyard except paint and body. I will be posting pics very soon. Any and all input is greatly apprieciated.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Thank you for the pics. My dad had a '71 Cutlass when I was young. The Rocket under the hood is largely responsible for me loving muscle cars to this day.
