Smile Greetings from a Newbee

I was born at a very young age, rode home in a Buick. Road in my first Pontiac at 6. I purchased my first Oldsmobile, a 1966 Cutlass, at 20. Thus completing the cycle of BOP in an “out of order” way. Traded the 66 in on a new 1971 Cutlass S at 23 and have refused to get rid of it since. Have had several other Cutlass over the years but since the beginning I have remained loyal to my Wife and the 71 S. Now you know the back story on my user name.
The 71 S has been waiting patiently for me to deliver on my promises to put it on a slalom course to have some fun. Now I have some time, most of the parts, and a place to build it right.
Pictures?? I am not sure this is the correct way to post …so I want to learn to crawl before I will try walking. Have a Great Day!

Great looking 67. My 66 was also white over blue, but it was a much lighter blue. And not nearly as shiny. What wheels, size and brand, is she riding on?

Not sure what happened to that picture

I was checking my posts, since it has been a while since last visited CO, and noticed someone said that pictures are welcome. So I loaded a picture and it seem it took over the post. I need to learn how to control the uploading of pictures. I still have the Cutlass S in the picture. The only problem is that it is in pieces all over the place. Hopefully next Summer my 71 "Resto-Mod" will be back on the road. Please be understanding about this like oversized pictures and typo.
