  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Looks like a JFK-era FBI vehicle. Think I saw one in the film: Mississippi Burning.

    Looking forward to the engine compartment now. Yesterday I spent way too long looking at the classic Olds site on a 62 Jetfire resto thread. I'm going into a deep 215 AL block rabbit hole!
    Dad took one out of a 63 F 85 = 43 years ago, I have the engine still. Yours is amazing, that pot metal on the tail is stunning.(along with interior, grill...)
    Cheers,
