Glad to be Here
Good day to you all from Olympia, WA. I have had a love for the mid 60's F-85s for years but never went that direction with my projects. Last year I was buying some parts for Mercury project and saw a 65 cutlass in the back of the shop. It was not in bad condition and it started calling my name. Some of you probably know the feeling. Anyway after some arm twisting I ended the day with the car. It's basically stock with the hi compression 330 and a Jetaway. It's a bucket seat car which I think is pretty cool. So i have some mechanical work, some wiring (hate it), and some very minor body work and paint and I will have it on the road. I have already found that parts are a little hard to find but I have found a local 442 club and hope that between all the great forum members and that club I will have good luck and good advice.

Hi Mike, Welcome to this great site from another in Olympia. There's lots of knowledge here and people are glad to help on a host of technical issues. Going to the 4-4-2/Cutlass show in Tacoma on July 10th?
