Please bear with the newbie who was a pre 1980 HS graduate. I've been working on my '75 TMO (Y-76 variant) for a few years and it is now suitable for viewing, just the exterior. Fresh Horizon Blue paint and hand pinstripes. I still need to complete my swap from column to console shift, and all that goes along with that. Plus I have a few details to finish up. So I will be asking for help from the Classic Olds group. I tried to download pics of the "new" one, my blue original, and my next red TMO project but don't know if I was successful. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks db
