71 cutlass
Hi folks another oldman newbie here. I worked in oldsmobile engineering for 22 years back in the day (70's) We used to build the test engines that ran in the lab and test track at the milford proving grounds.I saw a lot of cool stuff back then, just didn't know it was cool at the time! I just became a computer owner( finally) and I'm a little slow with it right now. I have a few olds projects still in the works, probably always will. I hope to freshen up my memories on this site and meet a few new friends. My children are now all grow and not interested in my stuff so I should probably finish them and drive one or two before I have to sell a kidney for a tank of gas. I hope you guys are patient with my slowness. Nice to be here though, have a great day!

Welcome to the site it's a great place and I am sure you will fit right in with your knowledge. Just a warning they are going to be asking for pictures so you may want to be ready for that. LOL

Wow there is a scary word. Not only do I not have a digital camera but my shop is in need or a GPS system. There is a hoist and plasma cutter in there some where? I even had a frame machine in the back but I need to pole vault to get to it.The cars run and drive but the fuel needs to be pumped out and carbs probably need attention. 71 w30 clone, 78 442 with 455 4 speed custom job,1975 cutlass wagon 2 door custom job, two 455 rebuilt and on stands ( rebuilt 20 years ago) need attention. many more and ashamed to admit.
