Another Olds NEWBIE!

Just wanted to introduce myself to the "olds" world. I'm the proud owner of a 71 cutlass supreme convertible. This is my very first olds restoration project. I have restored "other" makes but must say the olds is definitely the most fun thus far. Got to drive it home from Pittsburgh and had people's attention all the way. Needs work, so I'm sure I'll be asking for help from all of you quite frequently, but a very solid driver.

Newbie, Kinda

Actually signed up for this forum awhile back, but somehow never got access confomation. Tried it again today, and here I am. Anyway, cars a 77' Delta 88 Indy 500 Pacer. Paints been stripped and redone in modern materials. Drivelines a custom built 455, head work, dual 3" header exhaust, ext. 700R4 tranny and 3.73 posi axle. Actually haven't driven it in awhile, as have other cars, but getting the urge again, and just picked up a new battery. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and think I'll cruise around this forum a bit.

Thanks for the reply "Olds" as still a little confusued about this site. Cars actually sitting on a four post lift in my garage with the wheels off. Guess it's time to get it down, but not sure about cruising, as the current set up will basicaly boil the 255 series rubber at most speeds. Gotta love that 455(actually 461 for mine)torque.
