No way... I'm in Vacaville too. I just finished putting my 69 cutlass back together. A couple of weeks away from putting paint on. We should meet up at some point and check out the rides.
Later,

Welcome to Co, I am sure you are quite excited about getting the 455 home.

 

yea we will have to.i have a lil was to go still but will keep u posted.

 

i am.first real from ground up motor rebuild.had a 350rocket,first 455 olds ,heard its an experience !!

 

I live in San Pablo. Definitely keep us posted on your progress. The guys on here are great and can really help you along.

 

Welcome B, this is the best place to get your info for your Olds. Post your motor specs so others will chime in to help with rest of the power combo. Trans, torque converter, rear end and tire size. I'll post my pics soon too. We gotta get Fish on here but he don't want his wife blowin his doors off the chevelle, but i know it already is

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Hi! I'm not too far from you either. I live in Williams, Ca.

 

One of these days we'll all have to get together with the rides.

 

I'm in for that. Lets set something for this summer.

Theres an all Oldsmobile show in Reno this year in July just before Hot August Nights. I'm originally from Fairfield and miss Nor Cal

 

That's a bit farther from home than I'm willing to drive my car right now. I think I'd be good with going to Sac, but that's probably about it. Besides the fact that's it's going to take a good chunk of change just to drive that far in the first place.

 

I have a friend in Williams that I sold my last 72 Cutlass to, you may have seen it around. Its silver with white top and stripes.
