I had found one at a decent price , I hope to preserve this Great Car and give it many more Years , I was a Technician for about twenty years with Chrysler Dealers , started out working for ford, I hope that , I can help anybody if I can and feed off the knowledge of others ! , Thanks!, ps I Shared some photos of my work in progress any input would be appreciated

 

Welcome to the best Olds site there is today! There is a lot of Olds knowledge here and a lot of people with '68-'69 A-body cars. I've received some expert knowledge in the restoration of my '68 and '69. As well, it sounds like you have a good leg up on mechanical knowledge which will help bring down the cost of what you want to do with your '68. Post some pics when you get a chance - we like to see pics!

Thanks Randy , I did post some pictures in the gallery. And will be posting more as I progress , , right now my car is covered for winter but should get s fresh start in. The summer , I been banking some money for the body work and paint , and I have a a son who is connected to some guys in a body shop , I don’t want a crappy looking car. This car was originally from California has very. Little rust but need some body work ,before paint and a new vinyl top

 

Welcome to the site! I look forward to hearing more about your car and what your plans are for it. Pictures in the gallery are good, but posting them here in your introduction thread would be helpful too.

Welcome to the site, from the looks of your pics you've dug right in there.

 

Thanks for the advice John , didn’t even think about posting them in the thread I will do so in future. Post ,

 

I did look at your galleries. The floorboards look really clean. Did you switch from bench to buckets? Can't tell for sure, but looking at the brackets was it a power bench seat?

Look forward to seeing more of your project.

 

just a Question are ther any interchange with other A Body cars with the Venting Ducts Distributer duct and defrost , we’re. Is the best place to find some plastics , the ac Distributer and defrost ducts we’re missing , the search is on.

 

I'm not aware of anyone reproducing them and don't believe other GM makes would interchange. But there's a lot of members here with 1968-69 cars. If you create a parts wanted thread you'll likely have someone offer good used parts. John

 

hey, looks like you have a really good start,wish you luck with your project, we have all been there , and enjoyed it , will

 

Welcome. ros6872 has a lot of parts, I have bought from him a couple of times with no issues. I would call rather than email though. Also Eric Jensen and Scott Winn have a lot of stuff, and are good guys to deal with, just post in the parts wanted section.

 

Welcome to the group... You have come to the right site for all the Oldsmobile information you will need to assist you with your project...
