Nick, welcome, and congrats on owning a very cool car (I also own a '65 Jetstar I). As for posting photos, I think you tried to link to pics on your facebook account...I don't have a facebook account (or a cell-phone for that matter, as I am a Luddite), but my guess is you can't hyperlink to those pics, or it might only work for people with a facebook account who are curently logged into it or somesuch. Your best bet would be to host the pics elsewhere, such as imageshack.us for example. Of course, such sites are blocked by some workplaces (like mine), but at least we could all view the pics at home.

Good luck with your car. I look forward to seeing pics of it and/or hearing other details (coor combo, unusual options, etc etc).

-Scott

Welcome, Nick! Great car you have. But as another owner of a '65 Jetstar 1, I'd have to say I'm a bit partial!

Back @ it. Brake job is the most recent, fronts are done with all the new hardware, wheel cyl.,hoses and shoes Glad the car came from out West cuz the brake lines came off the hoses nicely Backs just need adjusted to my surprise no ridges on the drums Maybe I'll get picks of the drums painted up with the rims on it They look nice I know I haven't posted in awhile but I will see this project through.

I think ALL of the remaining Jetstars are represented on this forum!

My Jetstar 88 only has a 330 in it, but "Blue Belle" will get up and scoot!

Welcome to CO and good luck with your project.

Been driving the olds one weekend a month for the last couple years and haven't had any issues. Got a 88 camaro convertible that Im doing a Lt1 T56 swap. It also needs some body work so its my practice before I do a frame off on this Olds (dont wanna mess this up) body work and paint must be perfect. Check out some of the paint worj I been doing on the Camaro! Engine bay turned out so glassy :-) http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/lt...e-lt1-6-a.html

Been working alot on a 1988 Camaro convertible that I'm doing an lt1 T56 swap into. I have been very pleased with this 455 and turbo 400 I put into the Jetstar 1 I been driving it at least a couple times a month and haven't had one issue with it (knock on wood). I'm really trying to get good at painting so when I restore this Olds I can do I very nice base coat clear coat job on it. Here's the engine bay of the camaro with one coat of clear. Take care and I hope to be back when I start on a frame off restoration on this Olds take care everyone
