Fuzzy purchased this Cutlass in pieces from Jim Mayers for $500.00 "as a low budget week-end driver".  With the help of a lot of close friends, he replaced: all four fenders, the floor pans, the trunk and the hood, then shaved the drip rails, door handles and trunk lock.  Then they disassembled, rebuilt or replaced everything on the frame. The 455 Olds engine was rebuilt by Don Kline at Jimmie's Motors.  The interior was designed and built by Dave Bennett Upholstery in LaMoille.  The rims are Billett Specialties.  When it came to paint, Fuzzy went to PPG for the Lamborghini Orange and Pewter ingredients.  The pin stripes are Ford Thistle.  He then asked Chuck Reynolds for help to lay on the paint.  They did all the work and paint in the back of Fuzzy's construction shop.  A lot of parts did not come with the car and some supplied parts did not work.
SO MUCH FOR LOW BUDGET....
