hi my name is chris.i am 24.i have been living in phoenix az for the past year,going to school at motorcycle mechanics institute.i am originally from kalamazoo michigan.i drive a 1964 oldsmobile dynamic 88 station wagon,3 seat fiesta.i picked it up just after i moved out here.it has a 394 and a crappy slim jim tranny.right now i am slowly working on it.i plan on a restoration this winter when i go back to michigan.it will be a father/son project.i plan on baggin it,adding a 3 carb intake with mooneyes EFI,and putting reverses with wide white walls on it.most likely a surfboard on the rack for good measure.i have grown up with cars.i was helping my dad work on them as soon as i could hold a wrench.been going to drags and shows since i was born.i plan on working in the custom motorcycle industry when i get out of school,and hope to build as many old school springer bikes as possible.i hope this does good for an introduction. also if anyone has any parts laying around for 394's,parts for 64 dynamics go ahead and shoot me a PM.also info on putting in bags
Cool wagon. PPPLLLEEAASSEEE don't tell me those are Pep Boys hubcaps on it in the photo. I think I'd rather have a car sittin' on cinder blocks. Oh, WELCOME. -r
thanks guys [ QUOTE ] Cool wagon. PPPLLLEEAASSEEE don't tell me those are Pep Boys hubcaps on it in the photo. I think I'd rather have a car sittin' on cinder blocks. Oh, WELCOME. -r [/ QUOTE ] haha no they arent.they are autozone.there is a long story behind them actually.here is a picture of one up close.someone actually stole one of them off the thing! im ditching them soon to go to the stock wheels painted,and i think im grinding the whites down to make them bigger
[ QUOTE ] restoration? hmmm. sounds more like customization to me... [/ QUOTE ] yes and no.the body and interior are staying stock.the only customization stuff will be suspension,engine and wheels.well right now at least .so i guess i still consider it a restoration
[ QUOTE ] ...haha no they arent. they are autozone. [/ QUOTE ] Is there a difference?? Cool car. Sounds like you have a solid plan for where you're going with it. Once it is back in Michigan shouldn't you mount a snow sled to the roof though? JH

JH [/ QUOTE ] nope but he didnt want them to be pep boys..lets not talk about snow,i am not looking forward to moving back to michigan right before the winter.i have been here for a year and i drive my motorcycle everyday,and my wagon as much as i can afford.i wont beable to drive either when i move back

Welcome Chris from another Michigander. I really dig your car, my Dad had a '64 in the late '60s and I always loved that car. I just told him the other day I'd like to find one. Once you get back to MI. we'll invite you out to breakfast.

Hey, Chris A big "welcome aboard"! Kool wagon...just need some finishing touches! Sounds like you're going the right direction. ------------Melon
Welcome young man. Do a search on air bags there is sure to be a thread on 'em somewhere here. I just did one and came up with about 10+ pages. enjoy The PknBner
thanks guys.this board has already helped me a ton.im hoping i can find someone on here with parts now,like a 3 stromberg intake
<font color="red">Welcome aboard Chris! Somethin' about Pep-Boys, they still sell baby moons for your steelies Aah, anyway you build it it's cool, as long as it's your way,.. you know. C-ya 'round. Jason. </font>
welcome to the HAMB.A good person to ask about baggin the waggon would be Kustombuilder. He lives in Michigan and has bagged just about anything you can think of.
Awright, Rev...ya GOT me here on your intro post...but ya sure don't give a guy very good pictures ta work with, do ya??? Ha ha Ha!!! How 'bout a peek at the beast in the DAYTIME, Dude?! (As luck would have it...I used to drive a 64 Olds Dynamic 88 two door with a 394 and an automatic...LOVED that car like no other...till some stoned-out bitch plowed into it one day speeding down a residential street and totaled it!! Anyway...I really dig them things, so I'll gladly help ya "modify" it if ya get some better pics!)
Gonna be a cool ride.. shave it lower it and... I was lookin at them hubcaps with the chrome monkey faces at the store the other day..I found them,,, entertaining? Made me laugh out oud actually. Life is too short to be serious alll the time, keep them on till ya find something better! Oh, nd welcome to the HAMB!
Welcome to the HAMB! Wagons are cool and that one has real potential! I think wide whites are too "50's" for a mid 60's car, though...not that you asked.
hey man..sorry i didnt hink about that..hahah ooops.anyways i will try and get some sunlight pictures for you this weekend.i might even get off my ass and put the trim thats missing back on the door too!hopefully my new radiator comes in this weekend or next week so i can even wash it and take pictures out of the carport.i will let you know man
From Phoenix eh? Give my regards to the 'S' turn on Tatum Blvd. I used to live in Paradise Valley back in '84.

[/ QUOTE ] ahh nice.i donmt know where that is.i dont get out much.usually just to school and back and some places in between.i live on 35th ave and thunderbird and my school is on deer valley road and not too far away from 27th ave.so the places i hot are usually in between there you should check out my rant thread about people in this town and their cell phones
Howdy... Also a new guy but had to post just because of the car, I am a 64 olds nut (I have a drop top and a four door hardtop right now) but I have never managed to get my hands on the wagon. Great ride. I just shaved handles and trim on mine so if you have need of those I can send em your way. Would love to see how the interior is holding up. Thanks for sharing. True
