    In all my 74 years I have never seen a 56 Olds grille added to a 50s Chevy. My compliments! It is definitely one of a kind.

    There was a gold 50 Chevy Slant back with that same Olds grill at last years GNRS, they look like they belong on a 50's Chevy, can't wait to see it done.

    Buick made some beautiful dashes, & that is proof. Everything flows just right on that car. Very well executed.

    wow, love that custom. Your choice of the Olds front is bad to the bone. Don't give up on finishing this knock out, and I think white is an excellent choice for this streamlined beauty.
