Welcome aboard Silverado !

I don't own an Olds, but have a couple of Olds engines that I am hoping to do something with. Mostly wishful thinking. hahaha
It is a great thing when we can move from gravel to covered concrete for working on projects. It took me many years to figure out that if I laid cardboard down over the gravel to slide around on, that it was bunches more comfortable than crawling on gravel, which is tough on elbows and shoulders. hahahaha

I hope all goes well with the front suspension refurb, and then you can move to the engine.

Have fun and enjoy the forums !

Yeah concrete is a huge moral booster real nice to use a creeper and have my jack actually roll when lifting. Plenty of bolts lost in the grass lol.

I'm from SW LA so I don't know much about shops in your area, so other than saying "Hi, welcome aboard" I'm not much help.
