Sweet... I may have a set of calipers to have done if you wouldn't mind someone else with "Oldsmobile" calipers.

PM me for my paypal address so you can send my royalty check.


Little bit of progress this weekend. Still a few days before I get the cad/zinc plating and the powder coated stuff back. I worked of prepping some of the stuff I still have here.

455 won't be built for a while so the orginal 330 will go back in for now. The motor was pulled down to a bare long block and scaped, chisled, and wire brushed 42 years worth of grease and grime. Also resealed everything back up with new gaskets. Little bit more cleaning and motor will be ready for a fresh coat of Oldsmobile gold.

The rest of the time was spent cleaning, sand blasting and painting lots of misc parts.
