For starters, I have a 1963 ninety-eight Oldsmobile that I just pulled out of a barn that had been sitting for about 30 years. I assume I’ll be posting here a lot coming up. My question revolves around the driver side door that won’t open. The inside and outside handles seem to have zero resistance when trying to open the door, and the lock won’t move up or down. Not sure how to get the door panel off without the door open. Any help would be great. Thanks

 

I might try unscrewing the lock button and take it off. Then take some penetrant in a spray can--long tube, and squirt it liberally down into the area where the lock is. Try it over a couple of days and see if you can't get it unlocked.

Good luck.
