Checking in from Red Deer, Alberta

Rolling in a 1972 Cutlass Supreme.

She's a series 57 holiday coupe, 455 equiped with air, strato buckets and console shift automatic.

she's is no show car and no trailer queen. I plan on building her into a pro touring car, give her the handling of a modern sports car while maintaining her classic lines.

Your a registered member able to post threads, you should be able to both view and post pictures. You do have to log on to view photos.

What I did was I created a profile on Photobucket which is free, uploaded photos to that site, then did a copy and past to post them here.

If that doesn't work for you try using the search option to read threads on how other people post pictures.

There several members North of the US border here, so you should feel right at home!!!

Hey, as president I may be able to help. I see you're going to the banquet afterwards. I'll see if I can get a cake. What does she like?

Remember the Chinese saying..."Woman who put man in doghouse, soon find him in cathouse."

Welcome to CO. If you plan on a pro-touring car you should view Richard's thread on the build up of his car (gearheads78). Lots of good ideas in that car.

Welcome to another fellow Canuck.


Watch out for Ken. From what I hear before you know it he will have you brainwashed & buying multiple Oldsmobiles.
