Hi. I am new to forum but not new to restoration or to Oldsmobile. My dad bought a new 1955 Super 88 back when. I have owned a 65, 68, and 70 Ram Air 442s, special ordered from the factory. Wish I still had the 70!!!! Well anyway, I am a current owner of a 1957 Bel Air with extensive mods to the chassis and drive train and general updating, frame off restoration, assembled in my double garage at home. I recently sold a 1972 Chevelle that I restored recently that I had for 20 years. I have been wanting another Olds for a long time and found a 1971 Cutlass Supreme in rough, rusted shape. I have collected all the sheet metal (I mean everything) and am starting a frame off restoration. I will be removing all the cancer soon and installing all the new metal. I purchased a set of 13" C5 Corvette disc brakes for the front and plan on 11" for the back. I plan on upgrading the whole suspension for better handling. I want to sell the 350 motor and tranny and replace it with a 455 and an Automatic with overdrive. So, that is one reason that I joined the forum to get advice on who, what, and where on the 455. Chevrolets I know, but not much on the 455. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am better at restoration than I am at the computer. I have some pics before I tore it down, but how do you post pics on this list?
