I'm C.J. and I own a 1971 Cutlass Supreme convertible. I live in San Antonio, Texas and am the newsletter editor for the South Texas Oldsmobile Club.

20 years in the Air Force; 12 years in aircraft maintenance (comm/nav) and 8 years in Respiratory Therapy. Retired 8 years ago and still dong RT work. 2 children and 3 grandchildren.

Grew up helping my dad work on cars literally under a shade tree. I've owned pretty much everything over the years from a 71 Triumph Spitfire (which I autocrossed) to a 4x4 Chevy 3/4 ton 455. But I have always been a ragtop man at heart!

My Cutlass (Why do people insist on calling it a "Cutty"? That's a euphamism for a part of the female anatomy!) is red/white/white, matching numbers 350/350, 4 core radiator, Hurst Dual Gate, Cruise Control, A/C, dual cutout bumper and bumper guards. Extra goodies are bored .030 over, heads pocket ported and heat risers filled, Lunati BracketMaster 2 cam, E'brock Performer RPM with a massaged QJet, CS-130 alternator, LT-1 electric fans, ceramic-coated headers, 2000 stall, and 3.42 posi.

Currently in for paint. One of the guys in the club is showing me "real" bodywork ("We don't need no stinkin' Bondo!") and how to paint. Going with "Bright Red" used on mid-80s Trans-Ams and Corvettes.

That's me...who are you?
