Hello fellow Oldsmobile people
Would like wish everyone a Happy New Year.
I have a 1967 Cutlass ragtop and will rebuild (replace) the suspension and also add disc brakes at all corners this winter. I will also replace the heater core. I sure I will be on this site often as I progress thru my project.

Howdy and welcome to CO! A good group of folk here, willing to assist in any way they can. You will be told over and over and over that we love pics. So feel free, and obligated, to provide some.

That is a Kwik-Lift ramp/lift
I do not have a high ceiling for a post lift so this is the next best lift for me.
I have two centerlift bridges to hold jacks so I can remove the wheels.

Just an FYI, when the SS wheels are color coded to the body they are referred to as SSIII. When they are left in argent color they are then SSII's.
If you have the 14x7 wheels they will have clearance for the disc brakes.

Sammy, yes that is a 1962 Volvo 544. I rebuilt the 544 three years ago. Most folks do not recognize the Volvo, thanks.
Allan, thanks for the tip on the wheels. I'm not sure of the width yet. I am put 11" disk brakes on from CPP, I know the wheels are only 14's but I think they look great on the car. You gave me some hope on keeping the wheels.
