Hello from Pennsylvania

Hey all!

So obviously I'm new here so I'll introduce myself. My name's Phil, 35yrs old, and I live in a small town in PA called Schaefferstown. I've lived in PA for about...3 years now and I love this state for the nature, mountains, etc, though it is kinda expensive to live in lol but where isn't I guess. Anyway, I'm originally from Indiana and moved here a few years back because I met my wife in IN, and she's originally from here, so we moved here to be near her family before we got married. My civilian job isn't that exciting but I've been in the Air National Guard now for almost 15 years....5 more to go and I'm out, though I do like what I do, 2R071, Maintenance Analysis, my base is next to Harrisburg Airport.

Anyway, I recently bought my first classic car! Super excited! 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S, it has a non-original but still Olds 425 in it, runs and drives great, just needs some TLC to make it great. So I've been going through it, gaskets, weatherstripping, etc. I know I'll be browsing here for the wealth of info, I've already done so as a non-member, and found everything so helpful I decided to join! So here's my hello and I hope I gain some great knowledge!

Welcome to CO. Nice car, and you'll surprise a few with that 425 under the hood.
