    Looks great Vic. I'd go with a solid black vinyl headliner. After doing the 55 in white, I decided to do the Olds in black. Keeps it "strictly business".

    Thanks guys!

    Thanks Baron, I thought about going with the stock headliner too but wanted to do something different. I may just go with an aluminum barrier where you lay it on with spray adhesive, not sure yet. Or maybe just glue in the headliner with 4 squares wide down the whole length. I'm just jazzed that I have upholstery at this point... :D

    Hey Vic. That looks great ! That will certainly give it some more get up and go. Nothing like the whine of a 6:71 while cruising ...music to my ears.

    No snow other than a couple dustings. Calling for rain later this week. Very lucky. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    It'll leap one of these days but not right now - found out I had clutch fork problems so figuring out that one now.

    Hi Vic. Is this a new clutch ? And if so, possible wrong throw-out bearing problem ?

    Thanks Baron but no, the TO brng is correct but I think the clip securing the fork on the pivot ball is messed up and not pivoting as it's supposed to. My friend had a new fork and pivot ball which he gave me so will be installing it and trying again. Also found the TO bearing had a crack in it so good thing I removed it and caught that. I'll reinstall it and try again. Thanks for your concerns, Vic
