an intro

I am in Denver co and just picked up a 70 olds f-85 one owner car with 112000 miles and except for rust in the lowere fenders it is clean, no air, am radio only turbo 350 trans, 4 barrel and dual exhaust, and the damn thing runs really good, it will need paint this summer, but it will have to wait until I get my 58 chevy pickup on the road, this one was a frameup redo. then i`ll paint and uphoslter the olds.. also have 73 bradley gt and 69 vw dune buggy.. to many cars, oh well us old guys can do that...

Talking Welcome to CO

Sounds like you have a nice collection of toys to keep you out of the bars

Thats not so old that the new 58 the way I hear it. Not so far behind so I think he is a pretty young old guy

the requested pictures

well if I got thisDSC04494.JPG

DSC04491.JPG

DSC04426.JPG

58 chevy pickup.JPG

DSC03303.JPG right there will be 5 pictures, if not I`ll try again

An explanation, the truck is undergoing a body off rebuild, 283, 700r4, s-10 frame, the whole shooting match, the bradley is a class winner at some of the vw shows, and the dune buggy is just for fun. the truck should be on the road by june and then i`ll tackle thr olds.
