No mechanical advice here, but - that’s horrifying, man. Glad you’re alright.

Facebook. Lots of old car dudes hang out there.

I have a 1971 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and had tons of questions. I found the Oldsmobile Club of America FB group and there are TONS of helpful people there. Any time I have a question about anything, I ask it there. I set my phone down for five minutes, and when I pick it back up I’ve got 6-10 answers already on the post.
