On other car sites like Chevelles.com, anyone can log on and contribute but they also give the option of paying a yearly fee allows for access to a members only site. Is this an option for this site? Thanks

 

No

 

We only have a 5 post minimun before you can post anywhere. This allows us to virtually eliminate spamers.

 

The only thing we may request on this site are pics of your ride and info about it , that is considering you do have an Olds.

 

we may require you to post pics and tell us about yuor olds , that is if you have an Olds.

 

Welcome to the site. Yes we charge, give yourself 50 bucks and go buy some new parts for you olds. Ok you're paid up now

 

$50 !!! Thats it? I think i have been overcharging myself!!

 

You have to have 5 posts and be a member to log on or post here unless it's the Newbies forum, sort of a fee or mandatory human trick for membership.
This is already a member's only site, no criteria, as long as you have a PC that's online, you're breathing and you can type.

 

I have a 72 Cutlass that I am badging as a 442. It is keeping the flat hood, no spoiler, but does have stripes on the hood, decklid, and sides--all homemade stripes. It is freshly painted blue with white stripes and has a white vinyl top. This is the second vinyl top I have done myself and it actually came out OK. OPG said there was a backorder on Cutlass white vinyl tops so I ordered one for a Chevelle and it fit just fine. I tried to keep the cost down by not buying a scoop hood and spoiler. I did buy a nice console on craigslist for 100 bucks and will be installing that. I had some A body buckets that are at the upholstery shop now.

I'll try to post some pics next week. Any pointers on how to put pics in the body of the msg? Is there a sticky on that?

Thanks for all the nice replies.

Mike

I never would have figured that out on my own. Thanks for the help.

 

lots of guys use either flickr.com or photobucket.com to store photos then you can post a link. It's free for both as well

 

No Fee!

 

The membership fee is an Olds 455 short block. I'll tell you where to send it.

 

Yeah, send him his right after you send me mine........

 

Are you looking for one? I know a kid who has a complete engine he took out of his 72. I think its a slightly newer engine, but I just thought I would ask.

 

Sites shouldn't REQUIRE a fee, considering they get users to come to their site, and they can get advertisers to pay them for space on their site.

But some sites do charge.
I paid a lifetime membership fee to Nastyz28 since I've been there since 2001 and they've helped me IMMENSELY with my 1978 z/28. So I view it as a contribution to the site for EXTRA privileges that aren't necessary at all.

 

That was a joke, but I'm always looking for 455 blocks. Considering the last one was cast 33 years ago, you can't have too many stockpiled. Of course, I'm a cheap SOB, so I've been picking up bare blocks for $50 and complete short blocks for $150.

 

Joe, so your the guy hording all of the 455 blocks. Thats why you won't post pictures of your barn. You don't want us to see your stockpile
