    That blue Plymouth is fantastic. I wonder where it ended.
    I seem to remember it used to be with the Emperors, it has a Packard grille and all the right ticks.
    If that is where you aimin at you sure on the right path :D

    One of the best threads ever, wanted to bump this back up with an excellent photoshop that James D did of my '47 Olds

    [​IMG]

    The idea was not to shave anything since the ancient olive green paint is still decent, but I couldn't help seeing what it'd look like with the bumper guards removed and the handles shaved. I'm no photoshop pro but that much I could do.

    [​IMG]

    I've already got the caps on and the skirts are almost finished, the dummy spots are an OG pair I've had for a while, the stance and some fairly minor body repair will be hopefully simple winter projects.

    Orn, do you (or anyone else) know if the front and rear bumpers on the 46-48 Oldsmobiles are the same width? I'd like to put my rear bumper on the front without the guards for a smooth look, and put the front one on the rear so I can relocate the license plate into the bumper, and the front bumper has a neat license surround/guard on it. Just not sure if it'd work.

    Of course, then I'd have to shave the trunk, and as long as I'm doing that....

    I don’t know if they are the same width or not but a great idea. I use bumper override and license plate holder from a 47 Olds 98.

    I like that look, that's what I want to shoot for, and I'm hoping I can do it using all the stock parts I already have. I guess I'll just have to try it.
