Look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hail:Welcome.

Awesome car. :thumbsup: Welcome aboard.

Sweet Ride! :bow:

Thanks Guys!

She's been off the road for a while for the motor rebuild (new specs above) and the coil over add on w/the Baer brakes, new gauges in the interior, & some fiberglass parts (front fenders, rear deck lid, front bumper etc). The car and I used to be at 4200 lbs w/the stock cast iron heads & manifold and the stock steel body parts. She went on quite the diet (now the car & I are 3975 lbs)!! I won't have it back until the snow thaws in spring. Then I will have to redo the paint.

welcome to lateral-g joe, that is one beautiful car you own.......wowza :hail:

Welcome! If you hang around here long enough, you'll be broke in no time. ;)

I love it! Your car is awesome! I have a sweet spot for olds, especially ones done as nice as yours! :thumbsup:

Thanks again guys for the kind words.

I also have to say thanks to Scott. I sent him pics and a tech sheet on my car this afternoon and he's already created a web page for me in MEMBERS.

That was fast!!

Shiny Side Up!

Nice 442. I even like the lime green color on that car. :thumbsup:

Very nice car. Quality build no doubt. Nice to see something different. Variety is the spice in life! Nice to see you getting after it at the track also!!

Appreciate the kind words guys. I'm partial to the lime green too. It's the original color, paint code 43.

That is a great Olds and an excellent color. Welcome to the site..post often. :yes:
