Thank you, thanks to everyone. I wanted to stay as OLDS as I could, I am running an Art Carr 200R4 though, but the Olds power plant is making over 500 ft lb of tq at 2200 rpm, that outta make for a fun street car!

[real57vetteguy]

Real57vetteguy....welcome. Thanks for lots of pics. :hail: :hail: You got it looking good!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That Chevelle is madness!!!!! Nice work

[youthpastor]

[waynieZ]

Welcome to Lat-g you have a nice project. I like that body style and great work.

[fleetus macmullitz]

X2. :thumbsup:

Welcome to lat-g.

[WSSix]

x3 The first body style 442s are great looking cars. Glad to see one getting the treatment. Welcome!

[cheapta]

Good looking build-I'm impressed (maybe surprised?) that the cherry picker lifted that body-I never would have thought of that.Also-awesome valve covers and the FL/pan in the background is gorgeous,too. I used to ride an FLT/shovel but finally got tired of working on it and stepped up to a Heritage Aniversary Softail. I tell people that old shovelhead was like an airplane-ride it for an hour and work on it for three.

Your rght, it can be that way, but my buddy has perfected the shovel head, matter of fact he is making massive hp out of his shovelheads, and no wrench's needed, he is making the EVO guys jealous

[waynieZ]

Nice progress,its looking good.

[ivmotor]

Your 442 is fantastic. I've liked the body style for years and am glad to see someone that appreciates it. Good luck with the rest of the build

[ProTouring442]

Lookin' good!

Shiny Side Up!
