New Guy with a 1963 Olds Starfire

Howdy, just a few lines to introduce myself. I'm 40 years old and my Dad and I are in the process of restoring the Starfire. It don't need a lot but some TLC will make it a nice rider. I am going to need a lot of help along the way so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all that make us newbies able to work on things older than myself.....

1963 Olds Starfire Parts

I have a lot of N.O.S. parts -- as opposed to going the cheapie chinese route -- or reproduction overseas non-fitting issues items --
All the brakes -- master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, brake shoes, brake hardware, emergency brake cables, wheel bearings and seals, and Front & Rear BRAKE DRUMS !!!!!

I have front end -- ball joints, bushings, tie rods, CENTER LINK (NEW!!) and Idler Arm...
I have the three pack of engine mounts -- front & rear -- not many left N.O.S. U.S.A. made.......
I have ignition and electrical, the little oil breather in the valve cover (1963 - 1964 OLDS FULL SIZE -- ONLY --)
and a whole lot more..... Sorry, nothing USED -- no piece of car -- quarters, fenders, etc., but this "Classic Olds" website -- should be plenty good for that.....
Call me -- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935.... New York...
