Hey guys, I'm Josh and just dropping in to introduce myself..

I just took delivery of this 1970 442 clone on Monday. It's a bit rough around the edges but should be a sweetheart when I'm done with it. The previous owner made a half assed attempt at putting together a clone, my plan is to go more of a resto-mod path that will serve as a street legal(barely) weekend warrior.

 

Welcome !!

Not bad I am from Utah as well there are a few of us here on the sight

Maybe we can meet up on a cruise night next year if mine is done and your isn't tore into to much
Nice car

 

Welcome, looks like a solid candidate for your project.

 

Thanks!

Sounds like a plan, I probably won't register it until spring. Over the winter I'll be addressing the brake system, suspension/steering, gearing and a limited slip. After that's all taken care of I'll just enjoy the car for a year or so before I drop in my 425 and do a fiberglass front end...still toying with the idea of back-halfing the chassis.

 

Thanks, it feels so good to be back in an Olds!

 

What's the 425 out of did you get it with the car or just had it Laying around ?

 

It came out of a '66 Dynamic 88, so it's the 45* lifter bank engine. A local had this up for sale a few weeks ago for an insane price, I took a shot & picked it up for pretty cheap. I've got it tore down and am working on a parts list for it now.

 

Welcome to CO Josh! Looks like a nice score.

 

Hey Josh welcome to classic olds i'm glad you made your way over here. I was the one that was talking to you on utah muscle car. i don't get on the forum very much.

whats your plans with this car? you thinking drag car or what?

 

Welcome to our site. I'm sure it will be a fun project.

 

Beautiful Car Welcome To C/O!!!

Hey Alek, It will be pretty much a hot street/drag car with more emphasis on the drag part.
