    Hello there! My name is Will, from Georgia. I was on the HAMB like...3 years ago, but I've forgotten my log in stuff, and lost access to what I'm sure was the email there.

    Anyway! I have a 1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 that's about to hit the road full time for the first time in two years.

    I bought the car a few years ago, put some work into it (very little...mostly a rattle can paint job and some mexican blankets), then lost my job, and had to sell it to a family friend to get by. Christmas '10, my dad bought it back and took it to his shop at the Georgia State DOC to have it painted, few holes patched, and new fuel line put in. (By inmates. They loved it.) The seats and door panels were recovered by Lorianne, whom is on here somewhere, doing seats and panels.

    I'll probably throw some pictures down tomorrow sometime.

    I also play upright b***, and played in a local rockabilly band that broke up last year, and am currently trying to learn piano to fill the "musical" time. My fiance and I also have a 33-foot 1948 Spartan Royal Mansion travel trailer, and I think next years project will be trying to find a vintage truck to haul it with.

    Here are a few of phone shots from when I hauled it back from the DOC.

    No real interior shots, because I've still got a lot of interior work to do.

    I'm actually in Austell, 20 min to the west. But I lived in Decatur for a while, and go to DeKalb Tech.
