    Visited a fellow hamb member(MotorCityDeuce) today to pick up some parts. Here's what I saw as I entered the garage. He's just finishing a redo on a nice 1955 Oldsmobile. Oh, and it's still powered by Olds!!! DSC04283.JPG DSC04284.JPG DSC04285.JPG DSC04286.JPG DSC04287.JPG DSC04281.JPG DSC04282.JPG

    It may not be "traditional" whatever that means, but from an Olds guy some red inner fenders and some red wall tires would look bitchin!

    That is a nice car. Is it is, or re-doing for someone else?

    @scotts52 I think those skirts are "stock". I have only seen those or the bigger "bubble skirts on those Olds.

    Hey Paul..Here's the rendering I did for Mike when he was trying to decide what direction to go with his idea for a project. build. I love to see a car going from concept to reality. As usual Mike hit the nail on the head!!!

    Hey Moose: Thanks for the kind words and all of your assistance in this build. If you had not given me the inspiration in the beginning this car would not have been built!

    That's OK Mike...It's fun being in on the design phase of a project and then watching someone else do all of the hard work to make it happen....:D:D
