I just found this site looking to find out more about my dads car. He has a '69 Olds Cutlass S. Its the car that got me started with old cars. I was 8 years old when we pulled the old motor built a new 350 Rocket and dropped it in. The car was fully restored once but my mom told him to quit spending so much time with it so it sat for years and needs redone again. I plan on doing it this time and any info would help. I plan on having this for a summer project when i get outta school and finished moving in to my house i just bought.

Now the part you are all gonna love my other cars are an '84 Camaro (blew the engine

) and '71 Ford Maverick (daily driver)

Welcome to the site. Not too long ago we were having a big problem with spam. To stop it, we set up the Newbie section where new members can sign on and introduce themselves.

Please tell us about your car[s] and where you’re from in this thread. After you have posted 5 times you will be able to navigate the entire site. You don’t have to wait for a response to post again.

It would help us lazy Mods out if you will hold off on any specific questions until you are out of the Newbie section. In this way we can keep questions and answers better organized in the appropriate threads instead of the Newbie thread getting cluttered up with various questions that Mods will have to later move to the appropriate section.

When you begin searching threads for information, you will find it helpful if the Header tells what the thread is about. i.e. If you are looking for parts, the header should read something like WTB [Want to buy] 445 widget.

I hope this isn’t too confusing, if you have any questions just post them here and someone will answer them.

Glad to have you on board with us.

Put the Maverick mill in the Cramaro and call it a Cramaverick.
