New guy here.

Hi all, thanks for letting me join, this my new project. 1966 olds Jetstar 88, 2 door coupe. No rust except for surface rust and few holes in front floor pans. Everything there, all the trim and Even orginal glass,and not cracked. I post a few pics. But I wondering is there any other jetstar 88 owners here?? I know only made car for 3 years. Also it's both a A body, and B body, from research I done.

Quite the project you have there, the engine, rear, wheel bolt pattern, trans, (unless Turbo 400 optioned), brake parts are lesser on the Jstar than the other b bodies. Most everything else is the same. Good Luck with the project. You can just patch metal into the floors, otherwise as said in your other thread look at the Impala floor pan or see if full size Pontiac metal is available repro.

Welcome to ClassicOldsmobile. Since you have a classic and it is an Oldsmobile you'll fit right in. More than me nowadays. HAHA. Nice ride!

Welcome. Your car looks really straight and having very little rust is a great thing. I believe those are Keystone Classic wheels on the front.
