Newbie from Indy!

Hey everyone! Newbie here from Indiana, introducing myself to the forum! I own a 1965 442, built 425, worked "C" heads, Solid cam and lift, hookers, MSD, and a holley carb. The trans is a built 350 and I just finished the install of the Hurst promatic. The rear is a DTS built, Ford 9", 3:73, and strange axles. Im anxious to get it out on the street this year but its been a little complicated with white crap all over the ground since early November! Ill try to get some pics up just as soon as I get it all figured out!!!

I really like the way your car looks with the poverty wheel caps and black tires. Nice. Welcome to CO.

Welcome to our site! Very beautiful car!! We too have the ice and about 5 inches of snow this morning. Driving wasn't much fun, that's for sure.

Frank: Welcome to CO! Really nice Oldsmobile! I'll chime in with the ice/snow problem this wonderful Tuesday in Texas! Winds blowing like crazy, and temp dropping to 7 by tomorrow AM! Get's above freezing by Saturday. Just looked outside, and the tent/car/cover over the '92 Custom Cruiser (CCRider) has collapsed on her and the little green Escort. Tried to move it all, and tarp on top full of ice/snow. Sure hope it warms up soon, 'cause I ain't goin' nowhere!!!

Thanks A lot! They are 15s all the way around, but the front is a 6" and the rear is an 8". Actually, ive been getting a lot of flack from fellow CO people because I just changed them to a corvette rallye! I know, I know..... "Those belong on a Bowtie!" But, they do look great! Plus, if im not mistaken, my ignition key does say "GM" on it!! Ill get some pics up when I get it out of the garage! I have decided to keep the olds wheels so that I have some wheel options.....
