Article 2 Section 11 clearly states: New members must post pictures of their Oldsmobile(s) before starting their second post on this web site.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse!

Oh yea, welcome to the site!

Welcome aboard Robert!
Actually there are 2 members close to you who may have the patch you're looking for.
Eric Jensen (jensenracing77) - Brazil Indiana
Scott Winn (oldspackrat) Indianapolis Indiana

Both of the part out these older A bodies so likely have a fair number of cowl sections to choose from. That one you've got looks nasty. You have the body off the frame?

X2 on checking with Eric or Scott. Plus if your close enough to visit them you may find something else you can't live without

If by chance they don't have a parts car with a solid piece to cut off I may have something out in Oregon. For sure check with them first though.

How long have you owned the car? I'm pretty sure I saw that car on ebay? I know I've seen it before, somewhere?

The reason I remember it so well is the driver's side fender is green. Similar to the color of mine.

I think that was on a CL Eddie. I remember seeing it too. Glad to see Robert is fixing it.
