My car will be on the cover of opgi parts catalog..
This is incredible!!! Three weeks ago i ordered some spare keys from OPGI for my car..So a few days later i get an blast e-mail saying send us some pictures of your car that you are working on...So i did...Then a week later, i get an e-mail from the marketing director saying they are going to use my car for the front cover of their parts catalog for the new year!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!!..So anyway i had to send then some different angle shots of my car... Take a peak guy's...







Which one is your favorite???

I love the one below (#7). Besides your car looking great squared up with the viewer. I love the fact that it's a throwback to Oldsmobiles famous "sedate it ain't" ad campaign.



That pic stood out to me immediately. Then it hit me.

I think the question should read "what was the source of the chin spoiler"?

It fits well and looks good.

Hopefully the decision makers at OPGI are hip to Classicolds and see this thread... Or better yet are well versed in Olds lore.

Nice car.

I’d ask for a fee. I bet they haven’t sent you any parts for free?

I didn't even get any money to appear on Leno's Garage You Tube channel, lol. Had to foot the entire $6K trip. Good luck getting money for being on the cover. I do agree that you should at least get a cool hat or something from them. I got a car care kit from Jay...

Don't get my wrong, I would do it again in a second.

BTW, I forgot to say "congrats". Much as LS swaps into W-30s really aren't my thing, I recognize that your project took a lot of work and the end result looks very nice. I'm sure it's gratifying to get a little recognition.
