New User Introduction

I'd like to introduce myself and express my sincere thanks for this site and its wealth of technical knowledge and resources. I have a '71 Cutlass Supreme Convertible that I'm in the process of restoring. I actually started with a very nice 57K mile car, but I don't have the "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" gene! My car was originally Code 43 Lime Green, but was painted red many years ago. It came out of one of those collector car museum / retailer places and had the usual touch-up what you can see things done to it. Well, it's coming off the frame and being properly restored now!

Welcome from another '71'er. This site has not only helped me, but also encouraged me to get on with my restore project. Can't wait to see pics.

Welcome

Do you know what makes a guy Gay in Alabama?

If he likes girls better than football.

Did you see all the Obama signs altered in Alabama? They put a big "G" in front so they read "GO Bama" then wrote "Roll Tide" under it.

Sorry I'm a Gawga boy and couldn't resist mess'in wit ya.
