Any word on the all Olds car show in Ct? I went last year and it was great!

 

Did you take pics? Love to see them.
When does the show usually happen?

 

I didn't take any pics,last year it was early September.

 

Please post the particulars. I'd love to attend too.

 

Please see the other post 16th annual all olds car show. You can also visit our web site www.neolds.com for info and registration form.
Hope to get another GREAT turn out this year

 

If your car is not 100%Olds,I would suggest you sit this show out.Unless they have new people running it or they have learned some manners.The first show I went to was in 2005 at Schaller auto world in NB,where by the way is where I bought my first car in 1972.I drove in with my nearly flawless 64 Cutlass.Now understand I am a car guy,I own 2 64 Cutlass's,a66 Bonneville,69 Boss 302,97 F250 and a 2006 Roush Mustang.All pure except for the one I brought to this show,when I got it it had(oh the horror)a chebby engine.I was told to park it by the dumpster.I took it in stride thinking it was a poor attempt at a joke.Untill the end of the show.I sat out in the hot sun(it was unseasonably hot that day)along with everyone else.When I was given a runner up trophy I was told."It's not an Oldsmobile"I thought that was rather rude,so I came back the following year with the car all done over ,new interior,body ,paint,chrome,you name it.Took runner up again.The cars that won first and second were in serious need of work.Guess what,"it's not an Olds with a chebby engine.I'm thru now,that's been buggin'me for 7 years.

 

please post some pictures of your fine ride.

 

And I know I'll catch **** for this,but ,I really don't care.A car is a car is a car is a car .And I like them all.If some one could shoehorn a BBolds into a mini cooper I would be the first to applaud.Any thing to put a classic CAR on the road and make it run is ok in my book,as long as it's tasteful.

 

If I could post pictures to this site I would but it keeps telling me I'm missing a code.Tried it on the Newbie post.

 

I'll give it another try

 

Well ,it let me send 2 out of 5

 

 

Some pictures of the Chebby engine.Right now the car is undergoing another transformation.Shaved door handles ,moldings and letters removed.Candy apple red over meteor red metallic and a new white interior.New hotchkiss susp.and fuel injection.

 

That is a great looking car. Love to see the results when the makeover is complete.

 

I should be painting it this week.I put the last coats of hi build primer on it yesterday.I will be sanding it with 600 grit tomorrow,If it comes out like I think it will,I will seal it and paint it

 

some pictures of it so far.

 

some more.it only lets me download a couple at a time

 

last ones for now

 

Very cool color! When the sun hits it that will pop like crazy!

 

Link didn't work would love to see the show even if my ride ain't ready lol

Ctsplicer,
SORRY about what happened in 2005. We have lightened up our judge criteria bit it still is an "All Olds Car Show". Several attendees do not have Olds motors but that doesn't keep them away. A new venue and showdate since 2005 should address other issues as well. Hope you reconsider and come to our show this year.

 

If it is finished by then I will consider going to the show one more time.And yes it is actually blinding in the sun.

 

This car will be there.Belongs to a friend of mine.I restored it 2 years ago.Wasn't even a good parts car when he got it.

 

Where I'm at right now.Got a lot to do to get it ready for the show.

 

Looks great so far, sure its going to be amazing when finished.

 

For anyone coming to the all Olds car show on 9/23 from out of state:
The Days Inn is offering a flat $60 day rate for those who mention that they are going to the show. They can be reached at 1-860-828-4181, and don't forget to mention the show.

 

Old skl,thanks ,I sure hope so

 

Hey splicer,who does your engine and machine work?

 

Machine work PMR performance in Kensington ct,and Don's speed shop in Newington .I do everything else myself.

 

Does Pmr build/dyno Olds engines? I know exactly where they are.

 

I don't think he has a dyno.I've used him for machineing and parts purchases only.And just so there is no confusion,this is not an Olds engine.His specialty is ford,but he will work on all american makes I think.I know I've got some poncho heads from my 66 389 that he is going to work on for me.Phil is extremely **** when it comes to his work.He does amazing work.

 

It couldn't hurt to give him a call.The worst that could happen is he would say no.In which case I'm sure he could steer you in the right direction.Dalenas in New Britain is another machine shop that comes to mind,but I don't even know if they are in business anymore.

 

I remember dalenas iI wonder if they are still around.....

 

Dalenas used to be on Arch st.I know that there's a Dalenas auto parts on Glenn st,not sure if it is a machine shop too.
