    Going this weekend to drive it 5 hrs home. Super clean complete car. Will lower it as much as I can. Maybe try a few different wheel covers out. Some wide whites. And a few trinkets while I finish my T.

    Nice car! The passenger side already looks good with the WW's.
    IMHO, Those Olds wheel covers are going to be hard to beat!

    By now you may have noticed the car is a 98 ... the T handle opens the hood.

    Nice ride. I had a '52 Super 88. Does yours have the 4 speed hydro? 52oldsSHQ03.jpg

    I think its a 98 and not a 88 since it looks like it has bolt on quarter panels.

    I concur on the hood latch T handle.

    Very nice car, man. I like that they kept the two tone paint, with just a few custom updates (dual exhaust, new but classic upholstery).

    Watch out for those left hand lug nuts on the drivers side!

    I know I'm on the H.A.M.B. but imo this original Olds more door is to nice to customize. clean it up, add the correct WWW tires, detail the engine compartment, etc and drive it. This is what your 303 V/8 should look like. 001.JPG
     
  25. nothing like a clean Rocket engine!
