hey ya'll, ive had 71 olds 442 in a garage for a long time and its finally time to restore it. Ive never done such a extensive project before so im going to be looking to fellow enthusiasts for some ideas and help. I'm starting to research products for the suspension and brakes. I think thats where I'm going to start. If anyone has any good ideas or knowledge on the subject, any and all advice would be very helpful.

Thanks, Jack

 

Welcome to the site Jack! Would you tell us more about your car? How long you've had it? Do you know any of the history of it? How is it equipped, options, drivetrain, etc.? John

 

I bought it 2006, used it as a daily driver/only car for a year or so. its in relatively good condition, guy told me it was rebuilt 3000 miles before i bought it. Its mostly stock but has a holley street avenger carb and some interior work, all done by previous owner. Its the 455 with a TH400 tranny. yellow with black stripes and black vinyl top. Originally I think it was that ugly green, the yellow paint job looks pretty cheap, you can see the green in hidden areas. I don't know much about the history, the guy i bought it from lived in san mateo CA, and he bought it from a close friend of his I think in the same general area. not sure how many people had it before them.
