Wow! welcome to the form and what a great find. Do you have any pictures? Hope to hear more about your new car soon

as they said in 62' There’s something extra about owning an Olds.

no pics yet ill try to post some up this weekend, yeah i cant wait i've been buzzing around the office all day waiting for 3'o clock. this is going to be my first real classic car. I've built mustangs and a few bikes before but nothing this old so i'm really excited.

American Lead

Sounds really nice, i am sure you will enjoy all of your time you put in with your car, there is nothing like watching it come along to see the finished product, be sure to post some pics when you get them.

P.S. My favourite parts stores for oldsmobiles are Fusick and USA parts supplies.

good luck with your project it is a really cool car

thanks for the heads up on the parts suppliers i ordered the fusick catalouge and also what years are interchangeable with interior parts?

American Lead

I do not know what years are interchangeable, but a good place for intiroir is sms auto fabrics, i will look around and ask some people and see if i can find out for you

dynamic62

excellent thanks much appreciated!!!!!

American Lead

Hello again,
I e-mailed a guy at sms autofabrics, i didn't get much of a reply. They said not much, but they do have everythig for your car, and they can make the door panels, and they have free samples. i am still waiting for answers from a few friends. I will post again when i find out some more stuff.

dynamic62

yours was actually the first site i visited when i decided i was going to buy this car

dynamic62

thanks a bunch i really appreciate the help.

dynamic62

its needs door panels and i was just trying to see if there was any other years that maybe had the same color combo and fitiment

American Lead

Hi, i got a few e-mails back today, they all said not much or they didn't know, i will keep my eyes open for info, sorry i couldn't be of more help, if there is anything else i can help you with, let me know.

dynamic62

good deal im going to check out some of the interior shops i usually deal with and see what they can do for me but thanks ill keep you all updated with the progress and hopefully post up pics tomorrow thanks again

American Lead

I can't wait to see the pics, it is allways good to hear progress from fellow oldsmobile addicts.

excellent thanks i have the celebrity sedan (becauase im going to be famous one day of course), and a local out here has a set of door panels that are in better condition so i'm probably going to pick those up and in a different thread i was having problems with my regulator but another guy out here that builds alternator's made me a single wire connection that will hopefully be finished this afternoon. as far as progress its moving right along better then i thought.

p.s. i found $1.36 under the seats so woo-hoo me!!!
