First off, I want to apologize for not introducing myself before making my first post. I lurked here for a couple of months before finally deciding to join. Although I am not at all new to cars, I am fairly new to the traditional Rods & Customs (and basically to anything made before the 1960s), but I have some friends who are into this stuff, and that got me interested. I'm no kid. I'm 43 years-old, but I am aware of my "FNG" status, and the veterans here will certainly get my respect. I have two project cars, neither of which will I talk about here, as no one would be interested since they are from the early '70s and early '80s, but it is my hope to acquire a '56 Olds 88 or 98 (gotta be a 2-door) in restore-able condition at a price I can swing, that I can make a mild Custom out of. Thanks for having me...
43 eh...??? The '56 Olds...ONLY if you shave the door handles and emblems, put on wide whites/hubcaps, fender skirts, two-tone it and slam it on the ground will those of us in ColoRODo accept you... And you haven't been "had" just yet...wait... Welcome from Aurora... R-
Add welcome from SW Nebraska. If you have been dreaming about, lusting, for a 56 Olds, go get one!! It's just not right to harbor that desire and not go for it. Sell a kindey if you must, but make that dream a reality!! Best wishes.
