New to Olds

Hi, I am new here, just got my first Olds and my first project to restore at 46 yrs old. I have always been a race car guy and have decided to try my hand at something different, a 1970 Cutlass SX. I wil be around to ask many questions.

Welcome to our site, Doug!!! Glad you joined us! You'll get a lot of help on here, so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Jamesbo.... That's the kind of exhaust tip I want to get, like on his car. It looks good!

Welcome to the best Oldsmobile site on the web! You have a nice project picked out. Glad to help if need be. Cheers.

Cutlassgal I hear that NAPA carries the fluted exhaust tips that are supposed to be exact matches to oem.

Welcome to CO. Please register the car @ SX455 club if you haven't already. They are trying to keep a record of all SX's. Can't wait to see the finished product!

When you reply make sure you are in “Advanced” If it says post a “Quick reply” hit “Advanced”

Scroll down below the box you type in and hit “Manage Attachments” A new box will pop up.

Hit “Browse”

The hit “Upload” and wait a few secs for the pics to up load. Then close this box.
Next you can hit “Preview Post” and your pictures should be there.

There is a size limit on pics

Actually Scot, this is my first venture building a car that doesn't have a roll-cage. I am looking forward to it. I was excited to find the original build sheet the other day. I get joy in the simplest things.
