mounted elsewhere, the dash panel, steering wheel and the front, but because of the lower radiator support is stopped.
I have to find, you know if it is equal to other Olds?

Wow, everything looks great as always.
Are you saying you need a lower core support?
If so, I believe they are the same between 1967-1970 for 88 & Ninety Eight. Definitely the same for '67 & 68.

yes
missing the lower support, if they are equal also try to search for other years.

My paint man took some por15 Ford red, Chevy orange and black. He then mixed them up to match my breather and voila... Olds Red!
He could have used Olds red instead of Ford red but the store was out of it. I asked him if he wrote down the formula. He said no, it's in his head. I knew people would want to know the color.

The color looks more red in daylight. I'm pleased with the results.

Here's a pic of my breather and of my engine.

air filter cover is beautiful, is the first time I see one so close, and far more photos from the web, I could build it with this photo

Wow! Is there anything you can't do. Your work makes me feel like a hack and I do take pride in my work. What do you do for a living. Design and build rocketships. Good work, some of the best i have seen. Keep it up.

Photos at work I have not, it was very hard to get them to pass and I cut all four tubes and then passed to the curves fitted with welded.
