White Plains..color is DuPont Chromalusion (Color changing) Green Purpleen...I see you have the Holley fuel injection...what size injectors are you running?

[will69camaro]

Sweet jumper cable on that engine shot! :D

Red 442 looks amazing.

I'm very excited for pics of the one getting painted. I like the look of the paint you picked out. Cant wait to see it on the entire car :)

eh... hell, I don't remember! I'll see if I can dig around and come up with the size for you.

Great googamoogas on your color! Isn't that stuff priced like gold or something?

White Plains? Southern Maryland, yes?

Yeah, I was working on interior stuff, and to make it easier I use the remote, thus I needed some electricity.

Thanks on the compliment!

I was looking through your pics... what is the brace on the front cross member?

Your car is awesome....the crossmember I cut out to gain some clearance...and just because I could...I added alot of braces to the suspension, smoothed the front frame rails etc...

Very nice! Your frame looks 10X better than mine. I went with a semi-gloss on mine so that it wouldn't show the dirt so much.

Thanks for the compliment... your car is awesome as well!

I understand the "because I could" thing. That's why I added the rear spoiler, tilt/tele, and cornering lights... come to think of it, I think "because I could" may describe my whole car! :D

Keep the pics coming, I need inspiration to keep working on mine!

Lingenfelter adapter with an Accel/Lingenfelter throttle body. Will be controlled with an Accel Gen VII DFI system.

[gearheads78]

really nice work 1hotrod

looking forward to watching it go together

[slownova]

how did you smooth the frame? just weld and grinding? did you add metal?

[rallye455]

Weld and grind....

[T Bell]

Nice job. Keep the pics coming. It's great to see Oldsmobiles getting some love. I've noticed more and more lately. The high price of Chevelles and Camaros pushing everybody to the BOP I guess.

[rallye455]

Project update. Here are the wheels.
