Good to know what the Newbie Forum is for- thanks for straightening me out. We Newbies need to be shown the way.
Anyway, I'm happy to be on board. I've been sent here so often by Ask.com when chasing Olds info that I finally started coming on my own. The information highway here is incredible- great to have a ticket to ride.

I bought a '72 Cutlass Supreme convert in March and have been tinkering since in anticipation of the summer shows. So far I've done or had done front suspension, brakes, power window repairs, and a small tear in the seat cover. We're nearly ready to roll, and just in time.

Looking forward to a long and happy relationship with all of you. I'll do my best to figure out how to post pictures soon.

 

Good luck with the pictures thing and welcome!

 

Welcome to the site! Here's a thread that outlines some ways to post pictures.

Ha ha, John you have posted that what, three times today?
Once for me too, lol. .
This guy is the best!

 

Welcome, pics are always appreciated!

 

We have to look out for each other and having a good reference to post is quicker than typing it in each time

 

Welcome to C.O. As you can see we also like to have fun and poke each other once in a while to. No worries - it's all good.

So what work did you do yourself and what did you farm out?

and.... where's dem pics???

 

Welcome , yes pics are good.

 

Suspension scares me (the need to steer is so important), so I had the front end completely redone and aligned. The rest I managed in my shop. I may be slow, but I'll get it eventually.
My 32 year old son is an excellent modern day mechanic, and he often complains about my repair speed- but not long ago I had to show him how to do drum brakes. He'd never messed with them before. Felt good to this old dog!

 

Welcome

 

Welcome aboard! You will find answers to most questions somewhere around here - just make the search function your best friend! Great place to be. I never imagined i would be here for long, but boy was I wrong!

 

and we're glad you stayed. Makes the site a lot more fun and interesting when we have knowledgeable experts like you here...(did I suck up enough??) Seriously, Thanks for being here.

 

I think I got the pictures thing figured out- check out my SHOP TOUR at ALL ALBUMS. First car show this weekend, Father's Day at Charlton Park. I'll get some Cutlass shots then.

 

Hey, don't try to make me ...

I am far from an expert but I learn a lot when I do things the wrong way. Some times they are so wrong they are comical...
I always say the "next car" will be much easier...

 

Speaking of which, I know where there's a really nice set (4) of doors for a 70=72 VC. Just need a car to wrap em up in. What an incredible challenge. I can't think of an engineer alive who wouldn't snap up a deal like that. You could totally build it your way.


Still on the prowl? Lessee if I got it right (for my searches) so it will truly be much easier

* 68-72 VC (maybe flattop???)
* NOT GREEN
* Rust free (as possible)
* Turnkey
* NOT YELLOW
* 350/350 350 4bbl preferred over 350 2bbl
* A/C
* comes with cute chick to hold your cold one (drink that is)
* Not big $$$$
* All mech/electrical work completed
* Paint must be immaculate or close...
* Preferably on this planet.....

 

This combo will never exist...
