Hello All

I just wanted to say "Hello" to all.

I just recently bought a 1968 Olds 98, in the garage at the moment getting a front end overhaul.

I will be looking for parts.

Regards

Chas

Welcome to CO!

Front end overhaul...you're not gonna put steer horns on your hood are you?

Doing ball joints, control arm bushings, etc...or just tie rods?

Welcome to C.O. Chas.
Very nice looking car, I especially love the color. Looks like it's already had a suspension lowering done at some time as the ride height looks way lower than it would have been out of the factory.

What kind of wheels are those? I don't recognize them. I know they're not factory but they look really sharp!

Total front end rebuild! Lots of work in front of you. If you're doing all that? Check your upper and lower bushings. They may also need replacing and if they do, this is the perfect time to pull the upper and lower control arms to do that.

Unfortunately, the lowering is going back up (for now). The previosu owner did not do a good job and I cannot get hold of lower springs at the moment.

I don't know about the wheels...in fact this is my first American car. I am from England and my other car is a...
