New from Georgia

Greetings, I would like to start by thanking everyone for the info from this site that helps us all keep our cars going strong. I got my first olds in 2006. A 69' 442 in good condition, a great project car even though I wasn't looking for one at the time. I was going to put it together for my son but when a 455 was offered in trade for the 350 it became mine real quick.

Thanks for the welcome Cutlassgal. The 350 ran but I couldn't pass the chance to have a 455 in my 442. After a bare bones rebuild (turn crank,new bearings,rings,hone block,etc...)it started on the first hit I really enjoy driving it.

Good morning and thanks again for the welcome. 28* now but could get up to 60* on Sunday. That's what I need to get things done in the garage(my shop). Good day to all.

Welcome.
Jamesbo's friend?
Do you have an Ultimate Cloth yet?

Why a '69? You weren't influenced by anybody were you?

Now we can all find out what the real story is.
Need pics.

Welcome Don , though jamesbo said you've been lurking for a while. Always nice to have another 69 join the site no matter what anyone else says.
