Thumbs up 3 1/2 years and lots of cash later...

My '69 Cutlass S convertible is finished. Just in time for a long Maine winter!
I pretty much replaced everything cosmetic along with a full engine rebuild. It runs, drives, and sounds great; the way cars were before our oil troubles began.

I see you did not replace the monopulator or the framis valve, big mistake.

oops, I forgot to check those. I got sidetracked with the installation of the new skyhook and compuffin pins.
