I have a 1952 Olds That was for sale for a long time... (on this site) drove ten hours to get and it was just a body.... It was channeled 6" over the frame....
Well there it was on the floor ahhhhhhhh...... I took 3 and 1/2 out of the front.. 6" out of the back...
I will keep pics coming when I remember too take them.... Motor is almost ready...I will be running a Olds 394 in her... 66 thunderbird front seats back won't fit lol...
This was a surprise, I expected you to show us your new purchase, but nice to see yourve been busy making big changes.
I'm liking this! It's got a pseudo fast back look to it. Are you going to take some of the hump out of the trunk lid?
I remember that car in the classifieds. It's gonna be a nice car when done. Imagine, a 53 caddy two door sedan! I got a buddy with a running 53 two door sedan for sale. I want it but............
my first car many years ago.....will be following along for sure. Looks just fantastic, huge transition.
I guess I don't visit the for sale section enough! lol Love how you started this thread....too funny. Jumped right into the mods. Gonna be a cool car.
Love the caddy graft. If the T-bird rear seat won't fit, they can be chopped down too. I've done it and it was pretty easy.
My first car in 1960 was a 52 Olds 2dr, that I began to customize. Rolled the pans, nosed and decked, bored 57 Olds engine, Lasalle trans. Never finished it. So keep it up I'll be following this.
I really like Caddy fender grafts. Just curious... Is it channeled over the original chassis? What rear window are you using? Grille plans?
Hey tinman. I got to ask.... where did you get that olds? The reason I ask is cause I used to have an olds that looked A LOT like that one. Sold it to a guy in MO years ago. Was it originally seafome green? We're the flames just vinyl tape? Man I wish ild kept it! You're doing it justice though.
So: IF, DOG, RABBIT....shit ? I often wonder, : when chopping the top, why not increase the space between trunk opening and base of rear window, to move base of rear window opening forward. I did it on a 55 Chev and it worked well..
Yeah, That's an old saying my wife's dad used to say all the time. He was a hoot! The dog would have caught the rabbit if he hadn't stopped to take a shit....... Words to live by! Lol !
Here is a guy with an Great Talent and even more an Incredible Vision. You got to have the vision! He saw way more than a 53 Olds cause he had the vision! Just got to like a guy like this!!!!
