Hello PY,

My name is Drew (friends call me Doc) & have purchased a '66 Catalina Ventura 2-door hardtop to restore/modify for semi-daily driver status (along w/ my '66 F-85)...

I have been lurking/gathering info for sometime now & have just started ordering/gathering parts....

Site is great & look forward to learning more about our Ponchos.

Thanks!
D

Welcome.
Some correlation between North Carolina....having a Pontiac AND and Oldsmobile? :)

...setting new trends.:D

Welcome to the best darned Pontiac site on the world wide web. Love 65 and 66s, have had a few.
And welcome to the Darkside as well.

Thanks Mr. Bonne

A member here, Scarebird, sells front disc brake conversions...I had a 64 Bonneville, awesome car, not very awesome w/ front drum brakes...never got to convert it...

Welcome!

Welcome to PY Drew you can post a picture of the F85 too, we kinda like Oldsmobile's here.

Welcome to the forums. If the members here can't answer your questions no one can!

I ordered my Scarebird kit Thursday...will get pics up of the F-85 tomorrow, camping with the family this weekend.

Thanks fir the welcome guys....

Putting on a Scarebird kit is easier than changing brake shoes.

Yeah, we like Olds too. Almost as much as Pontiacs.
Best Mid size GM muscle makers, in order:

Pontiac
Oldsmobile
Buick
Ford
Chevrolet

Here is my '66 F-85 Deluxe sedan....SC&C stage 2 plus front suspension w/ SPC springs all around, 1.25" front sway bar, debadged, etc. 15x7/15x8 steel wheels with 235/255 tires...handles like it is on rails.

Thats a sick looking Olds. Love the look. Are you gunna do the same type of treatment to the Catalina?

Thanks!

I am not sure yet on the Cat....I do want to improve the braking/handling first.

Huge fan of dog dish caps on steel wheels....I pulled the caps off of the F-85 when it went satin black from original white.

I like your garage. You got room to roam in there.

I wish that was my shop....I was called into work for an emergency & parked inside their big equipment shop.

Scarebird kit was on my doorstep when I returned from camping...excellent packaging & prompt delivery!!
