Cool Any Advice

Hello People,
Can i get some advice please from some people that know more about the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 Convertible.
I bought the Delmont 3 days ago and wow love the car great shape, great design and really damn hot!!
only problem was when i got it home and made room in my garage for it i started to take apart the bits that need replacing.
I knew this was a project car and is gonna require hard work money and commitment all of which i have no problem investing.
only needs a whole new floor pan, Carpet, door cards, rear cards, convertible roof (Power and the motor still works), paint job this is just to list a few things.
now i live in Calgary Canada, and i found a real gem of a website that has alot of things i want but they only ship to the US, ebay sucks for delmont parts. CAN ANYONE recommend ANYWHERE i can get parts from, i will even drive into the states to pick up the parts as long as they have more than just 1 thing, anywhere near the boarder like montana, dakota, seattle. just want some parts lol.
Thanks ALL!!!

Fusick is one place, Kanter Olds is another. They both have websites. Welcome to our site.

Welcome to the site. I've found it to be full of great people and advice. I think you can use Delta floor pans, it could help widen yor search. Thank God I'm past that stage, it was hard to find parts for my Delmont 88. I know of a yard in western Tenn that has or had a two door coup in it. I was there in june 08. Car has been open to the weather due to missing glass but had good fenders and quarters. I took dash lights , map light, glovebox lock with key!!, Good luck in your search. I have a picture of the Tenn Delmont on my cardomain site. Check it out if you want http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2556885. Like I said the car was open to the weather so anything with the interior is most likely unuseable. Happy hunting.

There is a sweet 68 Delmont convert. by my house that I keep looking at and can't quite pull the trigger because of lack of parts. Although this thing doesn't need much. Maybe I'll find some courage over the weekend.
