My –47 Olds coupe project.

I have my Olds out for a ride in the snow today… I’m still waiting for new fastener for the side window trim. Damn, I just wish this white shit will melt away.

 

beautiful job orn! car looks amazing. very nicely done.

 

that is just about perfect!

 

Looks awesome, dude!

 

Only needs.....to be making potato-potato sounds. Awesome!

 

Thank you guy's

 

That´s lovely!

 

Now that's the way I would build a custom!! Great job!!

 

WOW....slicker than snot on a doorknob.....You sir ...have hit a home run !

Your Buick is kickass also..

 

Sensational build, one of my fave Olds bodies. I have admired your Buick for a while, love it. I listed a knock out 40 Olds coupe in the classifieds last year with no takers. It is still available if you have pals wanting one. Congrats Orn!! ~sololobo~

 

Thanks for all the comments

Thanks! Can you tell me more about your 40 coupe and maybe some pics?

 

Hi Per, that's just wonderful!! Great job, buddy! and best is i will see it some day!!! Your color choice nailed it!

 

Thanks Carsten! Yes we must come together and share a couple of beer some day in the future and I like to see your 42 Poncho live

 

exactly my thoughts, Per!!! I'm about taking a week of around OSW '13, so there's a chance if i get my car done until then! and you have to help me with spending Kroner for beer and i don't speak no one word swedish! looks good at the moment, end of the week i'll pick up the last bunch of renewed chrome parts, bumpers, silver streak and so on! would be so nice to meet you and have a blast! let's see, you were really busy with the olds, congrats again!

 

Orn, one thing about the white stuff.... now the red is brighter ;-) Damm, what a great color!! Looks really nice.... and low! Great work!!!!

 

Looking good, did some great fabrication on it. Fresh thread...

Thank you guys, really appreciate it.

 

A few more pics from this weekend.

 

Looks great man,
Love the way it looks at ride height.

Are you planning on messing with the fender/hood gaps?

I'm fighting the same thing with my 46.

 

Yes Aaron the fender/ hood gap could be better and I need to work on it.

 

awesome ride

 

Hows that rocket engine running?

 

Aaron, my 324 Rocket runs good and with superb throttle response. I got a Holley 500 two barrel carb and electronic ignition by Petronix but otherwise a stock engine.

 

Gorgeous build!

 

Hey that looks amazing, awesome build!! Hey I've got a couple of questions if you don't mind,

Did you need to narrow the Jag front end or was it close to the original? Steering issue?
Wat wheels are you using on the front.

Cheers toby

 

Awesome job it looks great man. Congrats on a sweet ass ride dude. What color did you use?

 

It was very close to the og width so no need to narrow it. No steering issues with the Saab 9-5 rack I use. I use a pair of stock Jag Xj6 steel rims on front.

 

Thanks!
The color is from the Czechoslovakian car manufacturer Skoda but I didn't remember the color code right now but I can get it for you if you like.
