Nice car but a little out of my range as far as how old it is.
Saw you have a '51 Olds 88. There's a place called Fusick in CT. They have a lot of repop new and NOS parts for all models of Oldsmobiles. I see...
Couldn't get it to work either...
vtw head - Thanks for the info. Budget is going to be a little tight for now but the LaSalle swap is definetely something I am thinking about...
Petritl- That's a '53 with the dual round dash. Still good to know as there maybe a few interchangeable parts. vtw- I'll keep the Hurst parts in...

Thanks everyone. She's in the shop until Monday for the new exhaust. It's killing me because it's mid 70s without a cloud in the sky. Perfect...

My condolences to the Cleveland Rumblers and Chris' family. Sent you a PM but in case you see this first it's just another option;...
I agree! That's worth a restoration in itself. I have a '55 F 100 Panel. I was hoping some careful sanding would reveal some clue to it's past as...
Paul's (aka Kripfink) Panel is top notch. It would stand out at any show in the U.S. Which makes it even cooler is it's in the UK. Check out a guy...
