    All steel, 56 Olds w/4dueces, Hydro, built in the 50

    awesome! those hubcaps look later, might want to put some earlier ones on to keep the 50s vibe. otherwise its a badass car!
     

  5. Yea, send it to me! Congrats on the car, it looks great.

    I agree with the caps comment. However, there's no other advice other than get some better pics!
     
  8. hey austinrod, here's some advice..... first intro yourself, as per HAMB rules......

    now, that you have gone and done that... what sort of advice you looking for?
    listen to johnny... the hubcaps are newer for sure and older 50's hubcaps would look much more correct and better on the car

    The guy I bought it from sometimes deals in trades so some guy traded that car for another hot rod of his
    As you can see in the pics there's a lot of cars in his collection

    I can't believe no one mentioned this already, but that thing looks like a real-life Barbie Hot rod roadster.
