Wink Another Olds fan

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have a '72 Cutlass Supreme with a 455 in it. E heads. The car has been sitting and rusting for years. Just bought a '72 Cutlass S w/350. I like those body's better. The S is in better shape so I'm going to rebuild the 455, 400TH tranny and put it in the S. Then I need some body work done and interior. I have bucket seats and a console that will go in the S. This will be a long project and I plan on learning a few things on here on during this process.

Was...... What colour are you going with on the "S"? Maybe yellow with black in memory of the Supreme.
What's that on the wall behind the "S"? Could it be an omen?
Good luck with the resto 455man. Keep us plied with updates & pics along the way. Welcome to C.O.

Everyone has been telling me to go with the yellow and black. It will be a while before I paint the S but I'm thinking about the yellow and black. I like that color scheme.
