Hello from Canada

I have been a cutlass fan for many years and began restoring a 70 convertable about five years ago. I purshased a mostly original 72 supreme about three years ago. It is a great cruiser and an inspiration to complete the convertable. Having no experience in restoration this site has been a great help answering the day to day questions that arise during the frame off restoration process. Pics will be posted when I figure out how

Good day, eh
Another Canadian welcoming you to CO, from way out in Edmonton Alberta. So we don't have a great hockey team, but at least we have decent curlers!

I think you'll have a pretty good support network of Olds fans close to you. Best of luck with your project.

Welcome to the board! I'm located up in Newmarket and would be happy to help you out any way I can! Having gone thru restoring my two 1970 Cutlass's in the last 6 years has taught me a few things (primarily to swear I would never do it again ! LOL!!)

Kidding aside, I may be able to help you with technical information as I already bought most of the manuals when I started down this road! If there is something you need, don't by shy of asking!

Good luck with your project!

Hey cutless!

There is a group of us that are heading down to Lansing for the Olds Homecoming show June 17th. We're coming from the Toronto area (Barrie, Newmarket, Keswick..etc) and we will be driving down Friday passing bye your area. Just wondering if you are interested in going to the show? Should be quite a sight to see a line of Olds machines cruising along the highway! We've got a convoy of 4 cars already and we are going to drive down Friday.

Maybe there are some others here in the southern Ontario area that are interested in going?! If you anyone is interested in joining our group for the drive down, please pm me and I'll email you some more info!

Cheers

Hi!

I will be emailing you some pages right now. I'm including the brackets diagrams, the diagrams for the hose hookups and the wiring diagrams (for both manual and automatic cars). Will send them is a couple of emails as each page is about 500K.

cheers
