Steve Moskowitz Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Skratch, the Oldsmobile Club discussion Forum is not super active. It has troubled me but let me welcome you even though I am just a member. Just don't go modifying your other cars...do what you want to the Ford! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The Olds club is large and has some great people and great meets. They are active out your way and the nationals are in Seattle this year. Maybe another regular here will wake up and "talk" to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 The Buick forum DOES seem a bit more helpful. As the new owner of two 55 Super 88's (to be combined into one restored one) I was hoping for a bit more lively group. Not a criticisum guys, just an observation, don't shoot the messenger........Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post pics when you have them. Steve M is right, sometimes we're not quite so active here, but it's a good group for most part. Also try realoldspower.com, they're the racers and are more into 64-later engines, but there's guys on there who dig oldschool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blownolds Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Skratch, not all OCA guys are stuffy fogeys. Some of us like the 394-powered gasser stuff!This board is not very active, I just pop in about once every other week or maybe once a week.

Guest Blownolds Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 BTW, Skratch--I have long wanted to see a mid-'50's Olds done as a gasser. You need some speed parts and other stuff? I have stuff for sale still (ongoing!) and perhaps you can use some of the stuff I have.
