New to Olds
Hello all. I am the new owner of a 61 Dynamic 88 with 394 UHC, ps, pb, and air. I have plans for it that some might not like, but it is mine. The biggest changes will be air ride and a custom interior. I will post pictures when I get them.

I think you'll be fine here as long as you don't start up any nonsense about putting a Chevrolet engine in it. You do that you'd better have a fire suit handy.
If you're after a modern transmission, KQQLCAT has done it in a 61 D-88 2-door post using a Ross Racing kit.
Mocephus just walked us thru a front disc brake upgrade on a 68; doing a 61 will be very similar and I think Scarebird has a kit for it and rear discs.
61 is one of the absolute coolest Oldsmobiles (and cars for that matter) ever built. But you sure don't see many...

Welcome to CO. I am looking forward to seeing progress on a custom myself so I am glad to read about your plans. You are correct in any case, it is your car to do with as you please.
