PROJECT CARS/TRUCKS / Re: 1970 Oldsmobile 442ish Cutlass

I'm giving the epoxy some time to harden before I set the body down on blocks and remove the rotisserie. Then I'll have to clean/paint the contact points I couldn't do with the rotisserie in place, spray the firewall a semigloss black and the body will be ready to lower onto the chassis.
While I'm waiting for the epoxy to harden, it's time to get the chassis cleaned up and ready for the reunion. Brake lines need to be connected and tightened, which also includes fabricating new frame brackets for the front flex lines because (of course) the new fitting are smaller than the factory holes in the originals.
Also picked up my fuel lines and fittings today so we'll get that all plumbed up too. That stuff is NOT cheap, let me tell ya!
