My name is Stewart and I have always loved Oldsmobiles. Bought my first in 1982, a 1970 Supreme Conv. that I still own. I have been working on restoring it for my wife for 17 yrs. Seems family and work come first. I have just retired and now hope to finish it soon. That way I can start on my '71 W-30 Conv. It still has the original top and some rust issues. My wife and I have decided to take the 4-speed out of my hard top and put it in her conv. Then use the sheet metal from that car on my W-30. The hard top is not a numbers matching car and has rusty floor pans but the quarters are in better shape than my W-30. I know Joe, who is doing a resto on a '70 W-30 Astro Blue car and just finished reading all the post on his thread. Hope to get all the information I need to do mine. Looking forward to many great stories and meeting new people through this forum.

Stewart

Welcome Stewart. Sounds like a good plan considering you all ready have the cars. Its a lot harder when you are looking for them. Good luck with your plans.

Seagoville brings back good memories.
