Newbie Olds guy from Michigan

Hello all! Joined so I could get some mroe good info and pointers on anything Olds!! I currently own a 84 Hurst, which just rolled over 76K before storing it for the crappy Michigan winter. I unfortunatly just got rid of my 76 442 with a mildly built 455.... How I miss her already... But I have plans to build up another colonnade style cutlass as soon as finances free up. Hopefully I can get some good ideas!

Talking Welcome to CO

What options does you 84 have and are you going to leave it stock or do you have horsepower plans for it

The 84 I'm going to leave stock, I just had the motor rebuilt to what it was from the factory, Like i said i plan on buying a 76 or 77 cutlass sometime and make a fun hot rod out of that. As for options it has T-tops, power seats, posi trac, power ant, the nicer radio, pw, pl of course. Someday it will be a show car. Its nice as it sits, but one day it'll get a nice paint job and have the whole undercarage detailed. Heres a few pics, In a couple of them the Pontiacs are my Fathers.

Nice looking Cutlass Ryan, keep it stock. That GP reminds me of one my now brother-in-law owned when he was dating my sister. He drove that thing into the ground, pretty fun car. Glad to have you with us.

Dumb question de jour

I'm looking forward to getting my 69 H/O signed by Linda in 2010 H/O day in Dalton, Georgia [Her home town]

What exactly is the procedure? Do you pay her? Do you bring your own maker/paint? What's the best to use?

Any help would greatly be appreciated cause I normally don't do shows.

I'm not sure what the procedure is normaly, I just happen to have a conversation with her after a show one year, and I asked her if she could sign it. But I happen to have the pen, I just used a regular Sharpie. During the show she was doing autographs for free. It was a really cool set up! She is an AMAZING person!
