Salutations from Pensacola, Florida.
My name is Rhett. I'm 40 year old canvas awning builder. I'm no stranger to this addiction having first been bitten at the tender age of 13. I belonged to a forum about 12 yrs ago and enjoyed the camaraderie that is shared among people with similar interests, especially with cars that aren't your typical Camaro or Mustang. To own an Oldsmobile can mean lots of searching for parts that can seem impossible to find, which to me is fun and frustrating all at once. I can certainly respect you all who have the big body cars and are able to keep them as nice as they are. I myself own a 4 spd '68 442 convertible which I adopted in '86 for $1700. While these aren't especially rare, the fun of it is, to me at least, is talking to people who owned one way back when. Right now the car is in pieces; a victim of priorities (wife, kids, mortgage, etc.) Sound familiar to anyone here? I'm climbing back in the saddle and while I'm no expert in any one field, I've done a little bit of everything. Thanks to the moderators and members for making this an interesting and fun forum.
