Talking finally back at it

Mark Here, New to the site and already receiving help, thanks!!!
bought this gem after owning a 72 442 in the late 70's and spotted this one from my car about 15 years ago and you all know the rest of the story -
finally got serious about working on it again this summer and getting close to paint - interior is good, missing things like wiper motor, blower motor and some other misc things, but making headway on a clone 442 -

Glad to have classic Oldsmobile in my corner


ldsmobile in my corner!

Welcome aboard. What part of Minnesota are you in ? What color are you going to paint it.

I've been through that area a few times on the way to jobs north of Bismarck and Drayton. There are some very good people on here that know a lot. The accuracy of the advice and information is very good.
