Projects 1936 oldsmobile moonshine delivery

After a lot of reading on the HAMB thinks it's time to post my (almost done) project

Started as an original 1936 oldsmobile l-36
Bought it from a friend of mine for a reasonable price

The car had no paperwork which is a big problem here in holland.
After inspections they decided to give me legal papers so the dutch roads where open for me.

Now I dropped the car a little but not enough



My plans where to make it flat black, white walls, and try to make some money.
However, decided it needed a 'little' kustom touch, went to the english wheel and turn it into a delivery




after that I needed a big old sun visor , very rare in holland so decided to make one myself



now time for a bigger job, a c-notch and air suspension






These are land rover air bags, which are easy to get in europe

now time for a paint job
started with the inside, orange



first flat grey, then some black paint over it, then some orange, and then all the way grey again








and Done !!!!
Time for some sanding and a nice logo





One of the nice parts of a hot rod / Kustom to me are making gimmicks
So took a beer keg and an (empty) bottle of jack and made my gastank and fuel gauge




at the right you can see my air ride level control center (a tire pump)
used an old airconditioner pump to get air



Yesterday, I had my first test drive, had to change to bigger tires in the back as I could only hit 40mph, put some bigger on it and now it's nicely getting 50mph
next two weeks some more things to do as I wanna drive to the biggest old style hot rod event in europe, Kustom Kulture Forever which is in Germany in 2 weeks



I'll keep some pics coming, hope y'all enjoy 'm as much as I do on the HAMB

 

Awesome.

 

Great looking build! Thanks for sharing.

 

That's a lot of car,cool.Straight 8?

 

Badass!

 

Great looking olds. Greetings from germany, see you at kkf

 

You do nice work.

 

Wow, what a change! Nice work.

 

Too Cool

 

thanks, just a regular straight 6, nut has torque without an end (for that era)

 

Boy you aint going to see any like that around.NICE JOB!!!!Bruce.

 

that turned out damned nice!

 

At first, the idea to try to convert this into some sort of a sedan delivery sounded like one of those projects that really never turn out well. But this car has the right proportions and your body work turned out well and the whole thing is a treat for the eyes. I even like that you left the rear doors intact.

But please don't tell me you have a real glass bottle with real gasoline in it beside you on the front floor. And I can't tell from the pictures, but is the gas tank vented to somewhere outside of the body?

The car looks good,, nice work. Does the car have to pass a government safety inspection or is the car road readY

 

I was another one who thought "Oh-Oh" at first, but that particular car lends itself well to the conversion. Leave the 6, paint it shiney black, raise it some and I'll bet you could convince a lot of people it's factory!

 

I like it and looks great,nice trick to make a 4 door look different.

 

I would have stopped right here and called it good.

 

This is great

 

Really nice.. the first few pictures I kinda thought ....what is he doing ???
But it sure came together nice..
I really like it a lot !!

 

Great car. I have always looked at 4 doors as donor material. Looks like I may have been wrong. Great idea and result.

 

I also like the look o.k. but dont care much for the gas tank and guage setup, thats just askin for touble.
If I had to for now, I would at least just use the tank and skip the gauge idea

 

lemon=lemonade, more power to ya.

 

I like it wish my sedan delivery was a 4 door now

 

Very cool and unique ride!

 

Very neat idea but you really need to rethink the fueling ideas. To many thing could go wrong for ya. I like what your doing so please don't take what I saying in the wrong way. Roger

 

Great car Dutchrodder

Hope to see it on the Dutch roads soon.

Groeten Hennie

 

Very Cool Build!

 

very cool ride!

 

Very nice ride.
