Right after the front end was replaced because of crash #1. Note that I haven't put the trim on the front edge of the hood yet...

Had to get a picture after I put the Sport Wheel on. Much cooler than the plain Cutlass steering wheel.	This series of pics was taken right after I installed the HO Racing rear springs to cure the common A-body 'saggy butt' syndrome. Compare the rear ride height to the previous pics.

The aftermath of crash #1. Three weeks after I got the car, to the day. A lady tried to make a left turn across traffic in front of me. She didn't make it across. Her '80s Delta 88 didn't fare to well, either; I T-boned it right in the rear door. that's the replacement front end on the lower right - Dad aquired it in Amarillo, TX. Rust free, but lots of yellow dirt in every crevice!			The crash shoved the core support back enough to jam the fan into the radiator. Fan was OK, radiator was fixable (though ugly).

The aftermath of crash #2. Rush hour traffic came to an abrupt stop on Loop 12 in Dallas, TX. A K5 Blazer a couple of cars back didn't.I swerved onto the left shoulder when I heard the squealing tires behind me, and the VW Rabbit behind me dodged into the next lane to the right, but the Blazer bounced off of the Rabbit and into me.	His tube steel bumperjust caught mine. You can see where it hit and rode down the bumper (the black mark on the outside edge of the bumper), then creased the rocker panel. Simultaneously, his front end was shoving the bumper and quarter panel forward, causing the quarter to buckle.	Wrinkled the trunklid, and the quarter as far up as the rear window. Fortunately, the window sealant let go, rather than cracking the window.	This all shoved his headlight back to above the middle of his left front tire. He actually had more damage, but all his was bolt-on stuff. Mine's going to take some cutting and welding... Still haven't fixed it, and it's been almost 10 years! Bought another car with the insurance settlement :)

This is what Snoopy looked like shortly after the former owner got him. He's already put on the Rally III wheels, and 442 bumper and grilles.	I really dig how the 442 bumper has cut-outs for the pipes. I've got one to put on the car, but it needs to have a couple of dents removed, and re-chromed. And, of course, the rear of the car needs to be fixed...	The 442 grilles look nice, but I don't have a problem with the 'S' grille, either. Thinking about returning it to the original color when I fix everything. The spots of silver remaining under various trim pieces looks really good, and modern paint won't have the rust problem.	A previous system that was in the car. Pyramid Gold PB-290 on the left ran 6 x 9s under the rear deck. Carver M-2120 on right ran a pair of Lanzar LN-12S 12" woofers in the box in the next picture. A pair of 3.5" coaxials in the center dash location are run off of the radio. That's a home-made power distribution block between the amps.

The woofer box replaced the back of the rear seat. Eventually it was to be padded and upholstered in acoustically transparent material. I stopped driving the car for a while and the equipment ended up in another car. It all still works, by the way, except for the 6 x 9s and one of the woofers.			Tensioner from the driver's side. took a couple tries to get the right length turnbuckle. Er, please ignore the dirt...

Just a picture of one of the Super Sport II wheels stripped and naked, ready for paint. There were enough layers of paint with chips and such that it made more sense to strip it and repaint.	Another pic of the naked wheel. I even had to sand the metal abit - some of the chips went right down to the steel.
