Newbie 1955 Olds 88 owner here from central MN. I have a lot of questions and like to do most work myself. Hoping the community here is as good as my Mustang and Harley forums. Cheers

Michael, welcome to CO!

That is one bad chariot! I like the color scheme. You have that thing tucked away for the winter don't you?

The Olds junkies here need our fix...when you have time, post some more pictures.

Thanks everyone! Mid 70's 455 conversion on a camaro subframe. Camero big brake upgrade. Bagged all around with shaved doors/poppers. Interior just needs kick panels done otherwise fresh carpet, original seats perfect. Came with the hood of a '54 so I'm deciding on using a '54 hoodie or just smoothing out the hood altogether...

Looking into a 5.3 motor or other options.
Anyone know the steering column length?
