Hi, I am a Newbie here, but a old hand

Hi,
My name is John. I am a Fire Sprinkler Designer.

Have been driving Olds from back in 1974.

In the gas shortage back then, People where selling there muscle cars for $500 - $1,000. My friend and I had a ball. Buying, driving and selling some great cars. Who new what they be worth now.

My car is a 1987 Cutlass creation of me own. Every nut and bolt have been replaced. Highly modified 72 Olds 350. She is fast, strong and handles like an mid 2000's corvette. It has the same brakes +. Lighting Rods.

Look for some more ideas for my baby.

Take a look at my album and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Welcome to CO John.
Cool vids.
My Dad retired from Grinnell
after 35 years. Went to work
for them right after he got back from Korea.
