Works great doesn't it Andy? If you put the small pic in, when you open it you can copy and paste it into the same post as a large image. Like this:
BTW, nice photo of your dash. No cracks or anything. And your AC vents look real fresh. I always liked the 75 models better than the 73 and 74. The wider grills give the car a nice front profile that makes it look lower and wider in its stance. IMO the 73 and 74 grills tend to make the car appear narrower.

Nice car, Phil. I really like the wheel/tire combo it has. Can you tell me what size wheels/tires you are running for the front and rear?
It looks good, even on the car dollies.
Oh, and welcome to the site. I am a newbie to the Olds world and this site is a wealth of knowledge.

the original engine must have been a 350. Did the orignal owner also change the tranny to a TH400 or is it still coupled to the TH350? The OAI setup you've got; is it aftermarket or OEM? Looks killer!
Now that you've got a 455 in it and it looks like dual exhaust, are you planning to put on a rear bumper with dual trumpet exhaust cutouts? I imagine there's tons of things going through your mind about what you want to do with your cars restoration. Before you get started, I would strongly recommend doing some research and planning so you only have to do it once. It's more important to take the time to do it right the first time, than rush and have to take things apart over and over.
You'll find a lot of good answers and suggestions from the CO members. Just remember one thing. In the long run it's your car and it can be whatever you want it to be.
Good luck on your project.
