Hi, Checking in from distant shores

Hi everyone. Hope you are all safe and well. Stuart here, checking in from Scotland in the UK.
I’ve been into hot rods and Kustoms for years and have had a few stock classics along the way..which leads me to why I’m signing in.

Having been fortunate to recently purchase one of my must have / bucket list cars, a 1960 Olds 88, I’ve been scrawling through the site for about a month now, essentially to seek and learn and I’m really impressed by the depth of knowledge, contributions, advise and pointers shared, so thought I’d better sign up and start asking and learning too..

looking forward to contributing..if I can..
very best regards
stuart

Classy! But isn't the steering wheel on the wrong side?

Super cool car. That interior looks original. Super clean looking car. Assuming you bought it over there? Do you know any history on it?

Welcome
