New guy here

Hey everyone. Just joined the group. I been working on my 1966 Oldsmobile 98 holiday. There is cert parts that are very very hard to find so hopefully some of yall can point me in the right direction. Here are a few pics of her.

Things that i am looking for:
factory gas pedal
Best place for stock carpet
Some one to explain the Vin for paint codes and what not
What to look out for

Paint codes are not in the VIN. They are on the body cowl tag which is on the firewall under the hood on the driver's side (or somewhere under there). Post a clear photo of the tag, and it can be decoded for you. A gas pedal will likely have to come from a junkyard car unless you can find something on ebay.

Welcome aboard! I like your color!! Fusick Automotive has a lot of hard parts for your ride, but not necessarily "hard to find" parts.

Welcome, nice ride, better watch the speed bumps! I purchased a gas pedal from OPGI or Fusick and went to install it and realized it was smaller than the original. I cleaned up the original and used it.

Nice ride! I missed the subtle pin striping during my first look at your pics, very nice. She sure is low, is she bagged? Are the waterfront pics taken at Mobile Bay? Welcome aboard.

Yes she is bagged. Some of the pics was taken when I went to battle n bama. The only reason I need a new gas pedal is where it attacked to the floor the plastic is broken. Thank yall for the compliments. She still has the original 425 under the hood
