My first Olds

Hey everyone,
So it begins! Got the car and found the best forum, can't wait to pick some brains. Decided it was time for a new project and found a pretty fresh 1954 Super 88. Thanks for having me.

Welcome. There are a good many of us here with 50's Oldsmobiles and it seems the number has been growing lately. You have come to the right place. Nice car.

Good to hear there is a large contingent of 50's cars and owners on here. I think the plan for this car is to keep it as original for the most part. The body is rough in some places but I'm not too keen on doing it just yet. I'd like to lower it slightly and try to plumb some dual exhaust but the gauntlet of the left side of the engine looks tricky... Might have to get creative!

My last project was a Meyers Manx clone dune buggy. It was fun as all hell to drive and caused may a case of whip lash but sadly the insurance on it was a deal beaker. Was fun while it lasted!
