NVA Newbie
Hey Folks,
New to this Forum looks like a good one. I just picked up a 70 442 that is 80% restored. Some of you might have seen this car on Ebay. The body was pulled, framed painted, new full quarters, trunk pan and floors and front end redone. The 455 has been rebuilt 60 over with a new turbo 400 new driveshaft and the rear was redone. All new brake system (everything). New gas tank and lines and a new wiring harness! The previous owner really new what he was doing.
I have all the parts to finish except I need the following;
A hood, Bumpers, windshield, exhaust from manifolds back and the interior redone. I will check the 'for sale' area or if anyone has them please let me know. I am in N.VA. By the way, my user name is from my first Cutlass in college which was a Cutlass Supreme with a 455.

Welcome.
North Vietnamese Army?
My three tour Viet Nam vet brother told me that their rifles were like brand new, dropped once and never fired.
Northern Virginia?
If you see a middle aged guy walking around while he's working a slide rule and mumbling to himself at any car parts swap meets in that area we know who he is.

Welcome. Let me encourage you to join the Capital City Rockets, the DC area chapter of the Olds Club of America. Our first event, the Spring Dust-Off, will be held Apr 16 in Leesburg, VA. You'll find more info here:

Yeah, funny thing, I was thinking that I need a car over there, too. Wouldn't mind an old Fiat Spyder. That will keep me off the streets...

A good glass shop can help with all your glass needs. Any muffler shop can handle the exhaust sys.also.
Bumpers are on Ebay all the time.
Other items, just start a want ad in the parts section and other will help you out.

Thanks! Managed to get some bumpers this summer from Bumper Boyz. Installed a 2.5" X pipe exhaust from Pypes Performance which sounds great and I did get a lead on a local glass shop. Found a company in PA that made a really nice repro W30 hood for me. I have done most of the interior and doors with Dynamat Extreme.
Looking for a good paint shop!! Anybody know of a good shop in N VA or within a few hours drive from the DC Metro area?
