Hello to all you Olds fans

I just found this site, and I am having a great time reading all the posts. There seems to be some very knowledgeable people here, just what I was looking for.
I have been in the car hobby for 50 years, I enjoy eveything to do with cars. My main interest is street cruising, and mild customs. I am sorry to say that I have been a Ford guy, but I may have seen the light. I recently purchased a '64 Olds 98 Custom. A great car for cruising and I am looking forward to restoring it. It originally had a 394, but the previous owner swapped in a 350 Chevy and a Turbo 350 tranny.
I live in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Parts and supplies are hard to find, and there are not any good shops, either. I'm glad I found this group, and look forward to getting to know other Olds nuts.

Welcome from another newbie! Lots of good people here. I've only been here a few weeks and have already gotten tons of how-to info and picked up some hard to come by parts. Great site!

Nice clean looking car there! My son owned a '64 98 six window four door hardtop a few years back. It was a nice cruiser. Welcome to our site.
