Hello

I am just starting up on this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am also just starting up on my first project car. I have a 1956 Oldsmobile 98. It runs well and drives well. It has a few issues that I need help on but I will post that in the appropriate threads. I live in the Atlanta area and would like to know of some good places to get body work and mechanical work done.
I am looking forward to fixing up the car and learning from everyone.

Thank you
Joe

Welcome aboard Joe, that's a very nice looking car. Doesn't look like it needs much. I'm sure someone from GA will chime in. What kind of paint scheme where you planning?

I was looking into the two tone paint scheme. The back has been previously been repainted and done poorly. I have seen the ones that paint the back half below the trim lines. I need to do more research and find out what colors were available back then.
