like the title says i'm new to the forum from N.Y. I am the proud owner of a 86 442 that is mostly stock at the moment.the upgrades that have been done are true dual exhaust,tubular lower trailing arms, custom autometer cluster.the 442 is black and silver and stock on the exterior.I'm planning to swap a 455 and a new trans in the future and joined this forum as i have many questions and everyone on the site seems very knowledgeable and willing to help.

Welcome aboard Dave!
Sounds like an interesting project ahead of you. When you get a chance let's have a look at your 442.

 

Welcome, and yes post some pictures when your get a chance.

 

ill try to post pics soon!i'm not so good with posting pics.

 

Here's some help for you
* clik the 'go advanced' tab
* Press the icon that looks like a paper clip; and A 'Manage Attachments' box will appear
* Choose (navigate on your computer to where the pics are stored) and hit 'open'. repeat for all 5 pics.
* Hit 'upload'. It may take a bit of time depending on your pic resolution. If you have ultra high res, you will have to 'resize' them with your picture editor to a 1024X768 size or smaller for the C.O. server to accept them.
* Close the "manage attachments' box.
* Preview your post and the images will be at the bottom
* Hit 'submit post' and the thread will have the images installed at the bottom. Unfortunately you can only do 5 pics at a time this way.

If you have the pics hosted on another web server?
* Copy the IMG url and Press the icon that looks like an envelope with mountains on it. Paste the URL into that box and hit 'ok'. You can install up to 20 images this way.
* Be sure to preview your work.
* Make sure the images don't carry on across the page, stack them for easier viewing.

 

Welcome to CO Dave! Where in NY are you located?

I'm sure you will enjoy your 442.... I also appreciate the G-Body style and presently have four of them myself, one of which has been modified with a 455 which I have taken to several OCA Nationals....

 

added a couple of old pics!

 

Welcome to Co.

 

I moved to NJ from Glendale in '02. I know a good mechanic in northern Queens (by LaGuardia) if you need.

 

oldsman:i'm right between glendale and lga. small world. i do most mechanical work on my own cars so hopefully i wont need a mechanic but its good to know if i get into something that i cant fix myself.

 

Those are in your profile album. You can also post them direct to your thread using the instructions posted earlier.
