Smile Newbie Intro

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd take a minute to introduce myself... I've been an avid reader on the site for almost a year - around the time when I purchased my car. I'm from Ontario (Hamilton area) and purchased a '69 Cutlass Convertible from Texas late last year. Stock 350, 2bbl with a Th350 tranny and peg leg 2.56 rear end. Not a screamer but a blast to drive - best purchase I've made in years. As I'm close to 50 you could say mid-life crisis but hey, I've always wanted a classic car so now I've got one.

I'm not into/competent at bodywork so it's turnkey for me. I can tackle almost anything mechanical and am happy to try & learn. My young son and I are looking forward to some busted knuckles and grease!

I'll try to attach a picture or two - we'll see how that goes.

Looking forward to learning, contributing and meeting some new 'Olds' friends.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks for the warm welcome greets everyone.

I expect I'll be hanging around here more often as the driving season winds down again. It will give me some time to plan out what the next project for the car will be!
