OT - '62 Oldsmobile ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A friend of mine has inherited a '62 Olds that was originally purchased by his recently deceased father. The car is in original condition, but has been used over the years, therefore accumulating some wear, as could be expected. He wants to restore it and asked me if I could help him find any resources for restoration parts such as door mirrors (originals are both dented he says), interior fabrics, etc. Since this is my favorite resource, do any of you know of any suppliers or links that might help him out? Appreciate any help, thanks, LB.

Barn9,

Have him check out the Olds Club of America at http://www.oldsclub.com/

This wouldn't happen to have a 425 in it?
They can be made into a killer under square 442cid engine.

He might try Oldspower .com http://www.oldspower.com/vb/forumdis...p?s=&forumid=7
It doesn't get as good of traffic as this board, but there is some good information there.
