4 MONTHS of weekends and its finally home. I still have some wet sanding and buffing to do but Im Happy as a clam as the way it looks. I cant thank My Pal Terry Smith ENOUGH for all the work He did on the car. Belive Me when I say It would have never looked this good without Him. We did a fast buff on it last week when it was still soft with some heavy compound , now Ill finish it this week. I put on the bumpers and some trim cause I just had to see. Im gonna incorporate the Olds center piece to the outside trim pcs and weld them to make it one piece.I have to cut out the old one and fit it yet. Its laying in the crooked but You get the idea. Im gonna work hard to get it done for Memoial day Goodguys Drags and show. Ill keep Ya posted. ------FEDER
Hey, Arn't Shoebox doors , hoods and deck lids fun to get to line up? I don't think they were in alignment when new! Killer chop and colour, too! S****ey Devils C.C.
I still can't believe how fast this Shoebox is coming along,talk about real progress,very impressing.Great work ! I would suggest to make the Olds grille bar v'ed so it will match the contour of the Ford grille surround.Cool Shoebox !
That is looking damn nice. The wheels and tires look way better than whatever you had on it before. I already reserved my room for the Hotrod A Rama I can't wait to see it in person.
Feder, I love the way this car it looking. The roofline and stance look perfect to me. Can you link to a thread that's got some more information about this car? What about some closer shots from the back to show the body work. I think that Olds trim will look primo. /Mike
