noobie here

[dascme]

Hi guys. Just wanted to introduce myself here. I just picked up a '77 supreme. I've owned a ton of other cars but this is my first cutlass of this style. I've already learned a ton about these cars, and look forward to learning more as I progress through this.

Now I guess an intro to the car. I picked it up after sitting in a garage for 2 years for a broken brake line, for $500. it's just a 350 cutlass supreme. It's in pretty good shape aside from the quarter panels. not terrible for a wisconin car. I picked up a set of chrome ralley wheels from a mid 80's 442 for it.

Welcome, let us know what you need (if anything), and we'll try to help.

Welcome aboard! Thats a different looking stripe, what does it say on the fender? Perhaps its a regional car???
Any way welcome and thanks for posting pictures!

[dascme]

Thanks. The stripe I think is just a sticker from a store. It says cutlass supreme on the fender. I don't think it's anything special. It has air, ps and pb. everything else is manual. After looking it over it needs a little more than anticipated. I guess that's how they go. I'll be sure to search for answers and then ask.

Welcome to the colonade family.

[dascme]

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I hope to get a few more small things sorted out before winter gets here. I plan on doing the quarters and paint next spring. I put the mid 80's chrome ralleys on it today. Man, what a difference over the hubcaps. Not a bad improvement for the $69.99 they ran on ebay. Hopefully it comes together well.

Welcome from the Northern Wisconsin!

Mine was/is in similar condition, but you've got a lot to work with. Priorities are always safety/reliability issues, but learning some rust repair bodywork builds character.

This site is the best source I've found for these cars. I've had mine three years, and wish I'd found this site sooner.

Congrats and welcome...gotta love the difference a set of rims makes!

[THE MALIGOON]

If you wanna get rid of the steelies and hubcaps let me know i am just across the border, just a littl south of rockford illinois


AND WELCOME ABOARD I LOVE THIS PLACE

[dascme]

Maligoon, I just gave the rims and tires away. If you want the hubcaps, they are sitting in the trunk, just let me know. I've been spending what time I'm not working on it working on my dad's '74 nova. when I'm home I'm almost always here doing some back reading. It's a great place to sit back and spend time.

[1977 Cutly]

Mine still wears those hubcaps, and I'll be in Madison in the next few weeks. If He doesn't take those hubcaps I just might....

Hey thanks buddy I will take you up on that offer for them let me know when I can grab them and thanks

[dascme]

maligoon, I sent you a PM.

[W451973]

Welcome.

[dascme]

Just got the cutlass out of storage a couple of weeks back. Thanks to The Maligoon it'll be getting new quarters welded on shortly. I through a set of 15" chevy rallies on it to get it sitting back at a closer to normal height. They will work until I find something a little more fitting. I managed to get the ugly white stripe off :confused: It was primered under the vinyl sticker. Apperently it was put on before the repaint. It'll be going under primer soon enough so it's not that big of a deal, just looks really bad at the moment. I'll keep updated as I go, but here's a current pic.

Welcome to the forum!

[1977 Cutly]

Keep it up, its a slow road, but the results are worth it.

[zates]

Welcome from Kenosha! Your car is coming along! Hope to see some of you other cheeseheads at the OCW shows later this year.

[dascme]

Thanks. My plan is to have it about ready to paint around the time of the the spring Jefferson car show. I hope to find a set of bucket seats up there so I can put the console in it. That's up in the air though, might just leave it a bench seat car.

[Macrover]

Welcome aboard!

Hang in there, it's a slow road indeed but you'll love the results when it's all said and done, including the busted knuckles and empty pockets. :D
