Cutlass virgin here, go easy on me...

I bought my first Old Olds last weekend. Rust-free '64 F85/Cutlass, 330/Powerglide. Missing the trim from the front passenger fender, otherwise all there. My plan was to do paint, wheels and exhaust and leave the rest alone. Well, now I get to add a transmission to the list as I was so tired, toasted and roasted after making my Cannonball Run to Rocklin, CA from Graham, Wa, that I completely forgot about pulling the driveline. Towing her nearly 800 miles was less forgiving than I would like.
I'm an old guy with a taste for old cars. I also have a street-rodded '38 Chev sedan and a bone-stock '54 Mercury Monterey.

First bit...it's a Jetaway, not a Powerglide.
Good luck with the car.

Welcome. I like your cars.

And as for going easy on you, you'll not find many nasty trolls on this site. People call them out if they are too sharp. They go to the Mustang sites.

Most everyone here shares a passion and they are even tolerant of my gaffes.

Thank you for making me feel welcome. My gun guy boards and FB seem to be overflowing with 13 year old kids these days. Everyone thrives on controversy. I lurked here a bit and saw no evidence the estrogen-rich environments so prevalent on today's internet. I see that as a Good Thing. I'm in the middle of moving and packing/unpacking a ton of stuff. So, getting the requested pix will happen, just a matter of when.

Thank you for the hearty and warm welcome. I don't give lapdances, but if this keeps up, I may show a little leg...
