Knock Knock
Good Morning,
Any like minded Guys, I am trying to make improvements on my 57 Olds 4 door hardtop. Desiring to drive it this year if possible.
My Dad Bought a new 59 Olds in 1958, a second one in the 60's after looking at many, This one was the first car I ever had. But, I wrecked it after driving it to school for only a few months.
As a young person I always desired to do takes things apart, understand how they worked and put them back together and they work. As a small child in the 50's, I loved to play with my Dad's bucket of old carburetors. I took two years of Auto in High School during the late 60's. I went to work in the fast food environment, management, then in manufactering of dinning room Seating and Decor. Ive been seating behing a desk on the phone selling Dinning Room Packages since 94. I've been married 33 years and have 5 children,8 grand children that are 7 and under. Life has been busy and still is, but sometimes the dreams we dream when young can come true.

Welcome to CO. Since you gave us such a nice introductory thread, I am going to move it to the new members section. We have quite a few regulars there that will more than likely have a better chance of seeing it there and will welcome you as well. Feel free to post anywhere you wish though.

Thank You very Much,
It will be a good day when I get It running.
My first challenge is a rusty gas tank that has been lined once.
I am not going back straight original, suggestions are welcome.
