an Old hand !!!

I'm a car guy and have been since I was a kid. I've owned eveything from mini-trucks to custom vans as well as hot rods and customs. My Olds is a contemporary mild custom (apparently the new tag for it is a "street cruiser"). It sits on air bags, 17 inch billet wheels, has been treated to a shave and a haircut, but otherwise it's stock....stock type paint (25% of paint is original, never been painted), original interior, rebuilt 394 rocket etc., etc.. Just trying to keep myself up to speed in the Olds world and signed on here to also maybe find some parts!!!!

Welcome to the site. I too have been a car guy since knowing how to turn the pages of a magazine. I cut my teeth on air cooled VW's and have had many rods and muscle cars since. Post pics of yours (or if you did forgive me my work blocks pics from some of the hosting sites)

Welcome to CO
Lots of good people and great info here. Funny how much I've learned about a 42 year old car.

Wel to Co

You'll find more then a couple old time motor heads on the site. Even a few with some gray in their hair. This is a great place for info. Post those pictures soon so we can see your ride
