Hello all, I have been lurking around this forum for a few months and finally got around to joining. I have a '72 Cutlass Supreme that I have had since I was 15 (I'm 29 now). I have recently decided to go I guess somewhat of a protouring route with it. For now it has an Olds 350 with the TH350 trans. I'm building a 455 for it now and I'm looking to buy a 2004-R for it soon. I've installed the Hotchkis TVS kit, bilstein shocks, and the SC&C Stage II+ kit. Thanks for reading and I'm sure I'll have quite a few questions for you all as I go. Sorry for the large pics. I can't seem to shrink them down.

Welcome to the site, real nice ride you have there

 

WOW beautiful car. Welcome to the site.

 

Welcome to the site. I've got a few things from Marcus on my car too.

 

Nice looking ride. Really like the paint job

 

Nice car, welcome to CO. Keep us posted on your progress.

 

Very beautiful!!!! I love the color!!!

 

Hi welcome to the site. Nice car

 

Welcome, beautiful car. Your paint looks phenomenal!

 

Welcome aboard

Sweet ride

 

Is that a cranberry color? Very interesting and looks good on the car. If you are looking for headlight doors post in our "parts wanted" forum, someone may have them. Welcome to CO.

 

Thank you all for the compliments.

The color is actually a one off Kandy Apple Red (House of Kolor paint) and I just happened to have the headlight surrounds off when I took this picture, but they're back on now.

 

welcome to the site that is a sharp car.I could get cut with itI like that color wouldn't mind somthing like that on my project.With that 455 she should be a real hopper

 

Girl question..... how come we have different grilles on our 72's??? Anyone??

 

Yeah, because despite the fact that it's a nice looking car, those aren't Supreme grilles. All 1972 Supremes got the crosshatched grills like yours. The grilles with the straight bars are Cutlass grilles.

 

Oh!! Well thanks for letting me know. I've seen them on other cars, but I always forget to ask. Now I know!!

 

Yeah Joe's correct, I just happened to like the style of grill on my car better so I stuck with it. Good question though....you are actually the first to ask.

 

Cool car, and welcome.

 

Yep welcome from another 72 owner. Haven't seen it or got it, but the paperwork says I own it. Arrives here 13th March.
Your car looks fast standing still. What size are those wheels in the avatar pic?

 

Col, they are 20X10 and 19X8. I still have my 15's that I can throw on it when I feel like being a little more classic. I know those wheels are too large for most, but I like the look.....kinda pro touring or resto mod'ish.

 

Well I gotta say, and I'm not a particularly big fan of big diameter wheels on particular classics, that those particular wheels on that particular car look particularly good........maybe it's that particular colour (that's how we spell color down here).
