Hello Oldsmobile Lovers

Just wanted to say hello.

I’m in the process of restoring my 1967 cutlass supreme convertible, and looking for advice and suggestions.
I’ve already been in contact with a few members, who have given me some very useful advice.
We pulled the 330, and are in the process of dropping in a 455 . (Hoping everything lines up) Bought a new 400 Turbo trans. and having the rearend rebuilt with posi.
Can anyone recommend a good place to order parts?
-converting to floor shift
-rebuilding the A/C
- floor pans
-rear wheel wells

Much appreciated

Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile. I love the way you opened up with "Hello Oldsmobile Lovers" ,truer words were never spoken. Sounds like you are into a nice project. Help will come to you on this site and it's free for the asking.
Where do you call home? There are probably other C.O. members close. Best of luck with the project! Larry

Welcome and good luck. Perhaps edit your profile so we at least know what country or state you are from.

Welcome to the best Olds site going! Post some pics of your car when you get a chance. Best places to get parts are:

1. From people on this site that have parts for sale
2. Fusick (www.fusick.com) for replacement/reproduction parts - they know Oldsmobile quite well.
3. SuperCarsUnlimited (www.supercarsunlimited.com) for mechanical parts. When you call SuperCars, you get the owner who is an avid Olds enthusiast and he is a great help.

Enjoy your convertible!

Thank you all for the replies, and good advice. I have 1 million questions, Just not sure which one to ask first!
The engine is rebuilt, the transmission is brand new, but still a lot of work to be done......Rear end, steering column conversion , interior, etc. etc.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s pretty darn far.
