1971 Olds Cutlass

Decided it was time to blow the dust off of the Olds and prevent it from becoming my DIY barn find. Changed the oil a while back and went with some Amsoil Z ROD 10w40. Pumped out the 3 year old fuel and coaxed the 350 back to life. A good "wurshin" then out for some Chevron 91 and a few pics. Runs pretty good but I'm thinking my BFGs are flat spotted. Need to put this car in the therapy rotation with the other hobby cars.

Thanks! Been letting it sit WAY too long! I've got a long list of nuisance items to address. Luckily it's very easy to work on. Gets a lot of attention when I'm out tooling about.

Awesome Olds! I hope to be able to resurrect a few, to at least Roadkill shape, down the road, garage is the next step.

I have a project 2 gen. Camaro and it has an incredible charm.
