Out With The Old And In With The New

Just changed projects from a 70 Cutlass S Holiday Coupe to a 1968 Cutlass S Convertible and just thought I'd let all know. Been into Olds since buying the Coupe in Dec 07 and would have really preferred a convertible but just always thought a vert would be a bit out of reach price wise. Well I recently got what I feel is a great deal on a 1968 Cutlass convertible so here I am in ragtop land. Car has a 455 (1971 I believe), th400, and a C type 3:31 limited slip rear. Traveled from VA Beach to NY to get it. Anyhow, here's a pic of the old and new.

All the body work is complete and was done with new panels. Can't find any filler on it. Paint is a quality job. Also came with a lot of new parts. Is missing some but shouldn't be too hard to complete. I'm excited about it and once I get going will keep posting on the progress.
