I just bought a 79 Cutlass that I am picking up next weekend. I was wondering how to start restoring it. Howvere, I’d like to be able to drive it most of the time as well. If anyone has experience with this type of car that’d be great, btu any restoration advice is appreciated.

  2. Arrrr! It be very important to keep yer cutlass in good shape. Ye don’t want it rustin’ and stickin’ in yer scabbard, else ye’ll get killed tryin’ to pull it out durin’ a boardin’ action. Still, it do happen from time to time, so make sure ye’ve got a backup weapon.

    I recommend a sturdy whetstone to keep yer blade sharp and some good oils and rags to get the bloodstains off and keep ‘er nice and shiny. Ye might need a smith if she’s got lots o’ nicks in ‘er.

    Good luck, matey!

    p.s. what’s a “car?”

  3. Definately the first thing you need to do is check for rust on the body and get different parts to replace them. Like if the door is rusted, either get a new one or get one from a salvage yard. Rust comes back if you just sand it down and cover it.

    After that, check for recalls and frequent problems on that vehicle and make sure you go over them. You can usually find car forums online that list problems.

    When you are finished with that, start on the engine and other mechanics. You can do that at your leisure.

  4. Go to Basken Robins, get yourself a banana split. Go home die your hair with L’orel #262 (dumb blonde) and then paint your toes.
