Making some progress on the 442
HI all!
Since I don't have the tools or space to tackle tall of this on my own I sent the car to South Coast Rides in Richmond Texas.
Here is a link if your interested - it is the only olds on the site.
http://www.southcoastrides.com/progress.htm
They have made some progress on the break down having removed the front clip, engine/trans, stripped the interior and removed the glass.
As I understand it, they should be separating the body from the frame on Friday. Then after a few "quick" fixes on the frame, it is off to powder-coat.
I found a drivers 1/4 in Missouri that I am trying to get shipped down (man that ain't cheap!) but still need a portion of the bottom 1/4 on the passenger side. No luck on that one yet.... so I keep looking.
If anyone has a lead that would be great.
While they do all of that - I have the 455 they pulled at my house.
Now I need to figure out what I want to do with that and get that ball rolling. I do know I want it better than stock but am not looking to take it to the drag strip... Just smoke the tires on occasion

They made some more progress on "Olive" over the past few weeks.
Fixed a few spots in the floor, started on the rockers and got the right rear 1/4 tacked in.
