I don't have a car club or car show background but I'm looking forward to attending some gatherings to share new experiences. I may try to attend the Granberry event in April if all goes well.


In the meantime I'm enjoying browsing the forum.

 

Welcome aboard,

I'm new myself and just met some fellas at the Granbury Orphans and Sweetheart show. They are a great bunch of folks indeed. Look forward to meeting you there.

 

Welcome from another Texan. There is a pretty good bunch of us Texans on here. How about details and pictures of your car.

- what no visit?

 

Was only in Houston overnight. I did wave at you and the boys as we flew out though You must have been looking the wrong way... Another trip I will pop in. Also got an invite from Joe and Robb to drop in, but not able to this time.

 

Howdy, welcome to CO

 

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! I will post up some pics soon. And for my Texas brothers, I live near the Marble Falls/Burnet area. Looking forward to meeting y'all.

 

Well I must have had my head under the hood.


Well Lonestar that puts you in tru-blue 442's neighborhood.

 

Sounds like someone is hosting a BBQ in greater Marble Falls soon... :-) I'm in.
Tim

 

Whole bunch of Texans here. I am down in Waxahachie an Italy Texas on Business a couple of times a year. Next time I'll stay a few days and drop in on some of you guys. Always looking for good Tex-Mex and Q

 

Anytime my friend.

 

Need to meet up at Opie's now that the weather's nice. Good mid-point in Spicewood for us Austin folks and has decent parking, not to mention good BBQ.

 

Thanks, I posted a couple of pics in my albums. Be nice, it was straight off the trailer from the trip home and needs a good detailing.... and it's a clone

 

We're located between Burnet and Bertram on a small county road. We took the maiden voyage to MF last nite. Went to Taco Bell (that's all the $$$ we had left) and then back to Burnet's DQ for dessert. Shoot me a PM with some contact info and we'll try to get together.

 

Sounds good to me! I had forgotten about 3.91 gears until we took the short ride last nite... 55 mph is approximately 3000 rpm so I won't be driving to Houston any time soon!

 

nice car, it should polish right up.

 

Welcome from a native Texan!
I think you will enjoy it around here - great folks and lots of knowledge.

 

Breakfast at the Blubonnet cafe is always good.
A BBQ huh? Hmmm...

Shoot Dave, your less than 20 mi from me, Cool.
2 Red Oldsmobiles in the hood, nice!

 

Bluebonnet's always good and they serve breakfast anytime! Great for those of us that aren't such early risers . How often do you get your ride out?

 

My car is from Texas. Bought through Classical Gas Motors. Chris Lofgren.

 

hi nice car you have there .. i just joined myself.and from what i seen so far it is a good place to visit. i am hoping maybe someone from my neck of the woods(i do mean woods) will contact me.. hopefully with a 67 442 they can take me for a ride in..would bring back alot of memories for me ha ha ha ha

 

Every chance I can.
Usually on the weekends, but If
I get home from work early enough
and it's nice out, a short jaunt is in order.

 

Too bad the bride and I are flying to Harlingen this week. It's so difficult to stop and say "hey" when we fly. Maybe I'll drive down again next time.

 

We've got a great airport in Burnet. Stop in for some coffee on your way to the valley. I'll pick you up.

 

Nice looking clone! First time I've ever seen two underhood lights mounted there. Betting it's a lot of fun to drive. You ever think about putting in a 200 4R so it'll be less RPMs on the highway?

 

Thanks for the kind words! It's a bit of an unusual clone. Short story, it was assembled in 1978 using a trashed (frame, & body shell) 1970 W-30 as a donor. After everything was rebuilt the engine, OW trans, W-27 rear end, ft & rr sway bars, OAI hood & air cleaner, inner fender wells, dual gate shifter & console, deck lid, spoiler, and supports and everything else that could be used were grafted to a very nice Cutlass S with original sheet metal, floor pans, interior, etc. The original builder used full disclosure and titled it using the Cutlass VIN when the project was completed. It remained in his extended family for 36 years. When I purchased it, I received the original donor W-30 title, VIN and cowl tag to connect the parts to the original car. I won't ever represent the car as anything other than what it is. After looking at this car, my friend, who owns an "original" '70 W-30 says in some ways he considers my car more authentic than his. Following an extensive restoration using interior pieces, parts, sheet metal, floorpans, etc. from any number of vendors, and certainly not GM, he considers his to be more aftermarket than original. However, he does have the broadcast sheet and other documentation that is so important to the purists.

I owned a '70 W-30 in high school equipped exactly like this car. Although the highway cruising rpm is a bit excessive, I won't change a thing... too many memories and so much fun!

 

Welcome to CO from Houston, TX.

 

Welcome from San Antonio TX I'm frank

 

Welcome from Houston Tx

 

Welcome from San Antonio...gonna be trough your neck of the woods on my way to pick up my Cutlass in Wichita Falls.

 

Breadfan, when you coming through?

 

Was hoping to pick it up at the end of the month, but it's looking like mid-April now. Gotta wait for my buddy to bring his trailer down from Oklahoma.
