Hey all,
Here's a link to the latest OPGI newletter with a couple of articles on restoration of a 442 and general info on restoration. Rob

That is beauteous.
If you go to the Inline Tube site they have that and a few other Olds magazine resto articles.
Check out the 442 catalog too, some unique stuff and in color.

I think that car was at the Olds show here in Alliance?

I just bought disc conversion and full brakeline kits fron inlinetube. Decent prices and supposedly spot-on original stuff. We'll see how close when I get going on the install. From talking with the sales guy, several of the staff have Olds too.

thanks that's very helpful, though I doubt any of my chassis will ever look that nice

Nice info for concourse resto. I like the part that says not to expect any return on the money you spend, just do it because it's your dream car.

Notice they only link to OPG though. COmpared some of their prices to others like Fusicks, PP, Tamraz, Supercars etc and most of their prices seem pretty high in comparison. You really have to shop around when you're buying "new" restoration parts.
