    Probably the best looking four-door of the 50's. And the tail lights are a work of art. Keep up the good work!

    Thats *****en. I really dig the tuxedo motif. Izzit OK to say motif?
    The Olds always were cl***ier than the Chevys. When I was a kid they were giving em away because everyone wanted a tri five.

    Looks great so far. I have to say though, those wheels are just beggin for some spider caps, to break up the black. But I'm an absolute ****er for black steelies with spider caps and whitewalls... Too bad they're so darn spendy.
