New guy here

Hi guys,

I don't currently own an Oldsmobile, but I am an Olds follower. My father has a Rallye 350 that he has owned since '73 and plans to start restoring soon with a donor shell. It was unfortunately driven daily through several CDN winters and has been hibernating for some time now. Will surely be nice to see it back on the road again. He also owns an 87 Cutlass - pics of both can be seen here:

My car is a 1985 Monte Carlo SS:

That pic was found online by Brad at Sherman parts and they ended up using it on their 08/09 parts catalog:

It has a mild 350 and I recently completed a World Class T5 5-speed swap. Other than that, mostly cosmetic stuff - refinished 86-88 SS wheels, dual snorkel air breather, electric fan with SPAL PWM controller, TES shorty headers, custom T/A shaker hood with functional flap. serpentine belt setup, H4 headlight upgade, 3" front drop, 1.5" rear drop and a couple years back I had new aftermarket rear frame rails installed to replace the rotted originals.

Future plans include a vortec head & cam upgrade, 8.5" posi rearend (in hand), true dual stainless steel exhaust, and then paint some day.

Here's my motortopia site if anyone is interested in more pics:
