New shell!!

Babyblue · 02-26-2016, 12:30 AM

Well after looking and looking...there was one alero I came across that was decent. Since I live in Michigan ALL the alero are rusted out to nothing or the dash is just tore apart..I came across a 2004 one owner final 500! 200,000 miles on her and they got the car brand new in 2004! Since its in Michigan and it's a 11 year old car it has some surface rust here and there but nothing as bad as my old alero (babyblue) the dash is in good shape and the seats are good. The driver seat has a small tear in it but shouldn't be much to fix. Back seat is not so good but it can cleaned or replaced. ( they had car seats in it:/). But yes the shell is here and the swap is getting done to it. I've been in contact with milzy to see how much it will be and how long it will take to do since I have all parts already. Hopfully I'll have it for ASS! I'm very excited to have another alero! Oh and fyi it's number 40 of 500. Will post pictures asap!

Are you going to lower it with big wheels too or keep it looking as stock as possible on the outside?

I've always thought about making an "improved" Final 500 but never did, minus a Pioneer DVD player or wheels but that's al 100% reversable. Having Android Auto in a Alero is awesome, most new 2016 cars don't even have that yet! I support this.

Your next project, SBC 350 in a 1971 Cultass 442

Congrats on the find! Once (if) I get some decent money coming in I'm gonna be looking for a coupe shell, that or find a shop that can repair the current one's rust damage. I think it will cost about the same either way. I've seen a few Alero's on CL lately some of them look pretty nice. But it's tax season so everybody thinks their junk is worth gold right now.

Lower it probably down the road. It's going to be just like babyblue-RIP

..with that being said. All I'm looking to change on the outside is. Window tint, big break kit I have, and exhaust tips. The rims need a good clean and some rust needs to be taken care of. I'm going to this body guy that did babyblue and he is going to let me know how much it is to fix it. This way it can be all cleaned up for ASS!

Don't go giving people any really bad ideas Ken.

I didn't think we'd see you back! Considering the dilapidated state of the car, I can be ok with your modifications. At least it will be saved from an early death at the hands of an idiot, or junk yard. Assuming you dont drive this one into a guard rail.

Yeah, that won't happen lmao.

It's good to see you're getting back in the saddle. Good luck getting Milzy to finish in time. He's still supposed to have mine done before ASS this year and the car is sitting in virtually the same spot I left it nearly 2 years ago. I'm about to go get it for scrap and demand my money back so I can be done with it.

I bassicly have everything he needs to get it done(from bolts to engine/trans). All he has to do is weld the trans mount, feed the shifter cables and put the swap in. I don't see it taking months on months.

Going to drop her off at Milzy Motorsports at the end of the month to get the 3500 and f-40 put in her!

after I get hey back, the exhuast will get done.

CharmfulPeace · 07-01-2016, 02:02 AM

Gah! I wish I had one of the final 500.... My own is an '04, but it is not one of the final ones. Congrats on the find, Babyblue!

Babyblue · 07-04-2016, 12:36 PM

Hello everyone....almost 4 months later and I have my final 500 back. The first final 500 with a six speed. Not very happy with how dirty my car was when I picked it up. My tan interior had become a towel for greasy hands. Would like to put it out there, I will never make that drive again.

Awesome that you got it back, however that is just sad. I know we are a dying niche but that doesn't mean we should get crappy service.
