My Dad was always a Chevy guy and really liked the big blocks especially the 409 and the 454. He did venture out and build some Cadillac, Buick...
Nice work! Not an easy job to pull off correctly.
Great location for a car show. Thanks for the photos.
I had this dilemma for some time as well. I finally decided to go with a aftermarket harness (EZ-Wiring) and it was the best decision I could have...
Yes the '37-'38 Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and Lasalle are the same. I think Chevrolet will work as well since it is GM too.
Nice work Root! Looking forward to seeing it on the road.
Congrats Paul! 19 years for me.
[ATTACH] After all these years I still have these two.
Looks like that ended well. Awesome truck, I totally dig the look!
I feel your pain Root, I have been looking for 14" steel wheels that will clear disc brakes. They are as rare as hens teeth.
Great project. Slow progress is better than no progress.
Thanks for posting the pics. I had a great time this year as well.
The show was great and I'm looking forward to next year.
Awesome project. I like to see different cars like this being built. Keep up the great work!
Great that you saved it and will give it life again. That has always been my dream car, maybe one of these days I will have one too. Congrats!

Well done my friend! I love this build. Happy New Year!
Happy New Years to you as well.
I love this project. Nice job!
That is a big job and you have done some nice work. Congrats!
Nice work and very cool that it is a Chevy.
Wow, the Olds is looking great! Excellent progress keep up the good work.
I dig this build, look forward to the progress updates. I think it is awesome you doing a Oldsmobile.
I have a '37 Olds that I have owned for over twenty years.[ATTACH]
Yeah, unfortunately speed shops seem to be a thing of the past for the most part. I do have fond memories of Jack's Speed Shop in Houston, Texas...
I think your story about your Grandpa is great and I think it is fantastic that you are going to continue where he left off. I look forward to...
Sad news indeed! [ATTACH]
Try Pro Antique Auto Parts In Windsor Locks, CT or Restoration Supply Company in Escondido, CA. Steele Rubber Products may also have them.
I have had great success with Speedway disc brakes kits as well. One thing I do is make sure I use the GM midsize calipers. They work the best...
