      1971 442

      Just got around to posting this but I have been reviewing the threads and talking to a few members and sponsors about my current projects. Thanks to all who chimed in and I hope to have the Olds at the body shop to re-assemble the front end by October.

      I have the Buick in my garage and have the Olds at Fort Carson in their auto craft center. Did I mention I have 2 children (14m & 3y) and a full time job that I love too.

      Yes it is a 70 nose, bumpers also. built in February. It was a factory race car from the limited history I got from the previous owners. So it might have been swapped out. There is no noticeable collision damage.

      Very nice, welcome! I'm looking at doing a 68-69. If you have any Olds-specific forum recommendations, please let me know.

      http://www.realoldspower.com/phpBB2/index.php Ancient style forum with mostly drag race guys, but quite a bit of restoration knowledge on there too. I'm one of the few members there doing a "pro touring" style Oldsmobile.

      PS - don't bother joining if you're going to put a Chevy motor in your Olds, they take it personally and probably won't be very nice about it... just a heads up!

      Thanks for the heads up. Owning a Pontiac I'm used to that. Probably will keep it Olds powered anyway.

      I bet they're probably not to friendly about any rims larger than 15" either and consider 18" rims DONKs.
