Newbie restoring 70 cutlass convertible

Hi Olds fans. I am restoting a 1970 Cutlass covertible, cloning it as a W-30 442. I didnt know how expensive some of these parts can be. I can hardly wait to drive it. I will be picking your brains in the future, I
'm sure. Rick

welcome, I guess if that's the only part you have you're right it will be expensive

1970 Cutlass convertible

Here's
a few more pics. I have alot done already. I just found a 1970 455 motor and t400 transmission. A shame that all the wasted time and money I have in this 350 2 barrel rocket motor. But I want the W-30 to be a correct resto. I drove 500 miles to pick up a 70 type O 12 bolt posi drum to drum. I love this project!
