Ran across these old pics, circa 1990....bought the '84 Delta for $325! First complete paint job I ever did! Sorry about the size, I scanned them in and couldn't figure out how to make then larger!

 

This car ran forever....last time I heard, ten years ago, still running with over 225K on it! Sure it is dead by now! The last pic, you can see my '68 Ford XLGT...

 

The '79 Cutlass, was another of my favorites! Sold it to buy the '68 Ford and the '84 Delta.....my '88 Cierra was pretty nice too! Actually pretty quick believe it or not.....

 

Did the 68 have a 390 in it.

 

390-C6.....I'll have to find the pics of it when I ran it at the track when we actually had one ....ran in the high 14's, w/buckets, console and a/c....stock but for straight pipes w/glass packs.....

 

I think you showed me those pics, if I remember right, it turned out pretty nice. Then again, I'm not surprised with your attention to detail.

 

Sound like a real nice truck.

 

You did see them Darrell......thanks for the compliment!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics when you get the chance.

 

Scanned some photos of one of my past project cars which was or maybe still is a 75 Firebird. I do not know if it is still around as I have not seen it since it was sold back in 98. I do know that he lived in Irving at the time, but who knows? Check out the photos even though it is not an Oldsmobile but as far I am concerned it is as close as you can get w/o being one.

The delta looks like it turned out nice

 

I do like the second gen 'birds....I was a huge "Rockford Files" fan when I was a kid......Jim would drive 40mph backwards in that thing, and spin it around and keep moving forward without losing even 1 mph......

 

Not too bad...thanks! That car was probably the smoothest riding car I ever owned!
