Hi my name is Brad, I'm from Brew City, WI! A few of you here know me. I have been working on my 1959 Oldsmobile for about 4-5 years now. It runs pretty strong and I drive it regularly in the summer. I registered as a user with HAMB a long time ago but have never taken the time to post. I recently have rented a small 2 car garage and will be doing some more major work on the car, frame/exhaust/suspension/transmission. So your suggestions and help will be appreciated!

Ha ha..actually I took that pic at a cabin outside of Eagle River, WI where my family goes fishing every year. It was the first long road trip for my olds. About 700 miles round trip.

I also have the factory repair manual if you need a wiring diagram or anything. I can scan pages for you.

Nice car, but leave your political opinions at the door. Rule #1 of the HAMB.

59Rocket
01-29-2004, 01:29 PM
I may get around to "slammin' it" someday when I get to do some more work on the suspension. Yes, it was parked on the street at the Cheaters show. And I will take your advice on keeping politics off the board. Thanks for the Welcome!

Well Chuck said he was gonna pass a BK's shirt along to me last time was here in Milwaukee, but said he ran out and would bring some with next time he visits. I rent a garage here in Milwaukee with his younger brother Brian. Who is soon to sell his custom chopper to build a model A coupe street rod. Oh by the way ask Chuck about the late night prank phone call about the cutsom Ford Aerostar he's working on! I guess it does wheelies! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
