New here...

Just joined, I have a 1969 oldsmobile f85, 113,000 original miles, original 350 rocket engine, original interior, and a nice coat of grey primer right now. new radiator and I have a lot of work to do for it to be ready and painted when I'm 16, I'm almost 15 now so I have a while before I even get my temps.

What Eric said, welcome.
As your putting parts together,
try to budget for a turbo 350, 3 speed
for it at least. If not a 2004R 4 speed.

It has a 2 speed jetaway trans in it yes?
You will be happier with 1 or even two more
forward speeds, quarenteed.
Good luck with it and keep us updated
on your progress.

Welcome aboard

The good news is you have a car that is gaining in value as a classic. You can find parts on this site as well as sell some. Pics are good. Post at will.
