    once that visor and the hood scoop are gone, it will be a great car suitable for this forum

    love the car, I don't think I have ever seen a visor on a '58 before... looks kind of funky to me, but to each his own. my wife's dying to get a '58.... just another project on the list.. lol

    While I've always liked the 58's, I always thought the grille area was too large. That bumper treatment really looks great.

    the fender skirts are made from the old 58 Chevy roof.
    has some olds side trim .olds deck lid skin .deck lid shortened a 1ft .
    55 Chevy truck rear bumper lengthened. caddy tail lights. homemade continental kit .there's probably a lot more but that's the basics .

    Car has some neat details. When was it built ?
     
  14. what I don't understand is why someone would use a 57 olds roof with the 3 piece rear window and then fill in 2 of the 3 windows
