delta70 · 2011-06-02 03:52:26

Hi everyone I joined a couple of months ago but never intoduced myself so I thought it was about time. I live in north western Pa.I have a 1970 delta 88 2dr. with a 455 2brl. I bought back in 1997 for $500. originally from down south and was oiled every winter so it's in decent shape. took it off the road in '98 took front end off, pulled the motor to clean and paint (lots of grease and grime) and here it is 2011 and still is sitting in the garage apart.(shame on me). I plan on starting to put her back together later this year. (I hope). I also have a 1968 cutlass convertible I've had since I was in high school(bought in 1980) but it needs alot of work (new floors,trunk floor, top of cowl, quarters, etc.) so it will be quite awhile before I start on that and finish it. also have '77 442 needs work too. '84 cutlass,and an '89 S-10 that I put a bravada grill on that I want to put my'68 rkt 350 into and make a "what if olds made a performance version of the s series truck".

Welcome to CO. You have quite a stable of cars. What is going on with the bullets in your post? It was really hard to read, thought I was reading a report or a resume....

Welcome to the CO. It sounds like you have your hands full, which is a good thing.

I don't know what those bullets are, they just kept showing up while I was writing my newbie post.
