Thanks guys,

Ryan

Plan to chat with several Oldsmobile guys at PSMCDR this weekend to get resto parts etc lined up.

Good luck with your Cutlass.

Not to be a jerk, but I viewed that GS resto website and just one question: All that work to make it look good, and yet the front crossmember is all scratched up and has surface rust? That just seems strange to me with all of the effort put in the rest of the car.

I received powder coat samples today.

These are to be the three 60 degree gloss black samples, I can't see a difference?

What have you guys used?

Got a quote to powder coat all the frame and suspension pieces, I think it will be worth the investment.......as far as I have read it is a one time deal.

You will need a paint light to see the differance. Now, you're going to ask what is that [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

BRING THOSE SAMPLES to MCACN.....I will make it clear for you.

I sent Muscle Car Review a thank you letter and they sent me 6 copies of the September edition:-)

How nice is that?

They must be car people!!

That was cool.. One question about your sweet ride. Do you plan to restore it or preserve? I read back through a few pages but dont remember if you had said. You know what I would say do... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Awesome Ryan! That is a 1st class gesture from them as well!

I plan to pull the front clip and the body off and leave them as is.

I then plan to restore the frame, suspension, drivetrain, fuel system, etc so the car is very reliable and still has some of that patina we love so much!!! I hope to leave the electrical as is for now, TBD.

I will have the scratches touched up, but really have no plans to paint the car.

I am so tempted to build it to the PSMCDR limits but that will have to be phase 2:-) my extra engine and extra trans' are ear marked for Mid Michigan Motorplex.
