And so it begins...

G'day, glad to be here and it looks like I've got a lot to catch up on. This forum seems very friendly and helpful - much appreciated in advance.

It's time to invest some blood, sweat and tears into my father's 1970 Cutlass Supreme convertible in Azure Blue. He's owned it since 1979, 95K miles, AC, original paint, and very stock/original. It's been garaged for the past 10 years with only a monthly run around the block to keep it alive, but is in need of some TLC.
I'm looking forward to restoring it to it's former glory, to the best of my abilities. I've sunk my teeth into a handful of classic Mustangs over the past 20 years, this will be my first foray into GM-ville.....where's the distributor?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers!
Thorn

Welcome. The distributor is in the back and is not backward like the F**d. I hope you enjoy the site and post pics of the car when you can.

Welcome

Welcome aboard

I'm glad you're a "Recovering Rustang Owner'

I hate to disagree with my pal Richard, BUT "Backwards" is a matter of perspective.
