Welcome to the site, Frank. You can tell us a bit more about yourself and your ride. We are a friendly bunch.

 

What Other Eric said X2 plus, we all like pictures of members cars even if still a project.

Thanks guys , I will post pictures of my 1973 Cutlass soon and my New race car ( 84 Cutlass , it will be Olds powered ) when it arrives some time in Jan - 15 . Still learning the site.

Frank

 

Welcome to CO Frank. Two Oldsmobiles...you're gonna fit right in. Lots of folks need their pics fix. Sounds like the '73 is complete and the '84 is a project? Have fun with the build.

 

Welcome aboard

 

"does that 461 have a 442 in it?"

Frank

 

As silly as that comment is , I have actually been asked that when cruising in my 73 Cutlass . Oh well what can you do ?.

Frank

 

Where do you recommend I post pictures of my 73 Cutlass ?. Just what to make sure I post in the right area .
Thanks

Frank

 

Just do a reply to this thread using the quote option saying something like "here are the photos..." and then scroll down to 'additional options' just below the message window where you will see another window "Attach Files" and click on "Manage Attachments" which will lead you to another window where you can select photos from your computer and add them. Note: there is a limit of about five photos (I think) and size is limited so it is good to edit your photos ahead of time to about 1/2 meg or less. .jpg format seems to work best. The photos will attach as thumbnails. You can then shut down the manage attachment window, preview your post if you wish or just click on the 'submit reply' and voila! we all have photos of your car to enjoy.

My 73 Cutlass ,

I purchased this car earlier last year and this is how I bought it and drove it home . The paint is 3 years old and is the original colour , The frame has been replaced at the time of body work and all body lines are near perfect .
Powered by a great running 350 Olds with A/C ( works great ) , since I bought it I installed headers and a Summit 2 1/2 dual exhaust system ( not the greatest fit but will do for now until I upgrade to a brand name exhaust or custom exhaust $$ ) . However , it really woke up the engine and is a pleasure to drive this car and absolutely love it .
I will be installing a set of old style cragar rims this spring and should look awesome , I puchased a center console and shifter assembly and may even get crazy and install my husrt dual gate if time permits this summer . Thanks for looking .

Frank

 

Thanks for the help Jerry .

 

Welcome. Nice car. Will be better without the teeny tiny steering wheel & anything but Chevy rims.


What part of ON are you in?

 

Thanks
Ya, I hated the steering wheel too and swapped it the next day with an original ralley wheel from a 72 Cutlass that I had saved for 20 years .

The Monte Carlo rims will be for sale very soon , They are in great shape but not a fan of them at all .

Frank

 

ohh I`m from Keswick , Ont .

You're welcome Frank. Back when I started a few years ago on CO some one helped me learn to post photos so I try to do the same. My reward in this case is I get to see your great looking Oldsmobile. Wow! It was very smart of who ever had it painted to leave it the stock color. A real PITA to change color correctly.
Jerry

 

Welcome, nice looking '73.

 

Jerry

THAT is some good info. I have been here for YEARS and never knew that. I have been going thru the long painful process of putting computer pix onto photobucket.com then bringing a link here and using the yellow "postcard"? icon tool to insert photos within a post.

It'd be nice if there were a User's Guide for the new/clueless among us.

Oh, and 461Olds, welcome
but, what are you trying to pull- there is no "461" Olds !!

:-)

 

Thanks

That 461 BBO is in my garage now and will be going in my drag car . I`ll post pics when the car arrives .

Frank

 

Welcome to CO Frank...nice 73 and looking forward to the pics of your 84.....

 

Welcome from Oakville Ontario.

Welcome from Hamilton
That's real nice, I love the way she sits. They usually sag in the rear.
The tires fill that cavity nicely

Use the opportunity to educate
ask 'em what they think "a 442" is... presumably they are thinking "a big engine". Then you can explain that the original 442's had little bitty 330 engines, how it varied every year- including a standard 350 2bbl engine in 1972, etc.

 

I know what your saying and I have educated people in the past , but under the circumstance this opportunity slipped away , in the car next to me at an intersection .
Frank

 

If only a brief comment is possible, perhaps to "does that have a 442 in it?"

"I wish it did, man..... I wish"
