Just saying hi from new guy

Just signed up this weekend. I'm going to have some questions here and there. In march I found a real barn find, a 1968 Olds Delmont 88 convertible with a rocket 350. Most everything is there just needs a lot of work. Mouse pee did a lot of damage. I have always liked Olds my grandparents had several, my dad had a 69 Grand Prix so I grew around old cars. In my 20's I redid my '82 Cutlass Supreme with the 260 V-8. Well enough blabbing on. Hope to talk to you soon.

new guy not good with computers

I got a 13 year old computer and not well versed in tech dept. But if and when I figure out the photo thing then I will try to post it. Not much to look at, pretty well tore down now. Although I am looking for the turn signal front lens. Also for got to say I collect Hot Wheels cars, have over 3500 cars.

Maybe the pic is too big ? I just add them when I'm posting a reply ( hit post , not quick reply ) Then you can either insert image , or click manage attachments and upload it .
