Hey All
Just joined and thought I would introduce myself. My first car I owned at 16 was a 1963 4 door dynamic 88. Many, many memories in that car. Then..... life. Many , many years later, I just picked up a 1961 super 88 holiday. Man am I stoked. I am going to do a frame-on resto to period correct/original, and cant wait to get started. I have been lurking here, not too many of these. I am sure I will be asking many questions in the future, as well as posting pictures of the progress.

Rob

Welcome aboard. I think you'll find there's a goodly number of folks here with knowledge of the 61 era cars.

You should consider looking for a 1961 CSM - Chassis Service Manual. It's the GM 'bible' of car repairs. Looks like this


Here's an example of one I found on ebay for reasonable $$.

I tend to like the OEM (original equipment manufacture) manuals better than reprints because the quality of images is far superior to any scanned or copied ones.

And as others have said, 'we love pics'.

That's a great score! Take time to study the manual for the jobs you plan to do. Wish they'd had the power of you tube back then so all you'd have to do is clik on a How to video link.....
