Newbie in DFW

Hi all,


I have a 1965 Olds Cutlass F-85 with a 330 and a 2spd tranny that I have owned for a little over a year. A co-worker suggested that I join this site. I have been snooping around and have found that there is a wealth of knowledge here.


The car has been a really good driver. My future plans for the Old's include redoing the driver & pass seats, upgrading the suspension and brakes, and installing a 3 or 4 spd tranny. I also plan to add A/C (It gets HOT in TX). My right now plans include changing out the fuel tank and replacing the trunk floor pan (has some minimal rust). I'm also on the fence about going with EFI.


Take care,


Captds

Welcome from Rowlett. Very nice car and I really like the wheels. You might want to consider visiting the North Texas Olds Club. We meet once a month on the first Sunday.
