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.

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.

Here is a photo of the vert on the ground.
I realy like the super stock II wheels in white, but they are 14's and probably no fit with the new disk brake setup.

Welcome aboard.
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.
