      My 1965 OLD MOBILE 442 build

      I am new to the forum, and quite impressed with it. A few guys on the Ultra High Performance forum suggested that I check this forum out, and I am glad they did. I also purchased the 455 from Paul Mckee who had the Cutlass build on this forum. Might I add he has been fantastic to deal with. Below are some pictures of the progress. We started on November 8th 2011. I am slowing down right now due to spending so much so quickly, I am looking for a front disc set up, adjustible upper control arms and pretty much all the front end parts, shocks for front and rear, etc.

      Nice project! We're doing a '65 Cutlass F-85 in the shop right now, Project Lonestar. Good to see more Olds A-bodies here!

      I didn't, but would you happen to have a spare hood? Or a RH quarter panel?

      I see that you had a leaking back window that rusted out the trunk also. Happens to all of them I swear.

      Paul,

      Actually my case was the water, salt etc trapped between the side body mount braces and trunk pan, my trunk was solid as can be except for where the bottom side braces were, we decided to cut it all out and replace it all. On another note I recieved the new Rocker Arms today, they are MUCH better than the PSP Rockers. You have been fantastic to deal with!

      Mark I can see now by looking at your core support the "cradle" where the radiator sets in is about 3 inches lower than the 64. I will start calling a few radiator places next week and see if I even have enough air space to cool a 425. I may have to pull my core support and do some fab work on it.
