Falling "in & out" love with an Olds

My problems with Olds is I go in one direction then after a while I go in another, aka too many cars. I jokingly call in "falling in & out of love." This is one of my on/off Olds love affairs. We have been together "8" years. She (1972 Supreme)started off as a $500 project car. I should have parted "her" out. I really like the "S" Cutlass better. Things I have done to her. Frame replaced with one from Arizona, got it in another deal, new quarter panels, wheel-wells, trunk floor, doors, front fenders, trunk filler panel, ram air hood, radiator core support, bumpers,new body bushing/suspension/brakes, interior redone. Original numbers matching drivetrain, even though I am not a numbers matched guy. I did tweek it a bit. 350 engine rebuilt, cam/pistons/intake/yada,yada. Trans was done by a local guy, Rossler Racing trans., rear end is a 3:73 posi done by KTR. I would work on it off and on but I would fall in love with another Olds and put it on the back burner. I have had the car pretty close to done for over 3 years. I am hoping to renew the "love" this year. She is painted the original Viking Blue. I have a dozen Olds in various stages from done to "not enough life left in me." I am going to make an effort to pare the fleet down a bit. Here is a pic or two. She looks better than this pic. I changed the wheels & tires but she is buried in one of my buildings right now. Ken 3-14-2007-04.jpg
