Glad to have found this site. Looks like tons of good info and help available!
Rebuilding a 68 Cutlass. My 16 year old son helped me rebuild the front end / suspension / brakes. Now, I go after the engine!
Hopefully you all can share some good advice!

Welcome

Welcome aboard

Glad you found us and joined up.

Please go up to Cleveland and drag Sandy down there. She's starting to sound like a broken record.

It's supposed to get into the 70's this week. I moved from MN 25 years ago. What's taking you guys so long?

I started a thread in the "Big Block" area on building up my 455. Let me know your thoughts.

Thx

Very beautiful car!

So is that sunshine, lol!! Believe me, if we could just up and move, we would. I have a friend who lives over in Wickenburg. When I win the lottery, I'll be out. I love the Tucson area also!!

Hi Bob. I'm just about finished with my '68. Let me know if you ever need any help or parts. I have a bunch of extra parts and am probably pretty close to you.
