For me, I love the shoots, but then I love the contrasting emotions that different cars bring out in me. I have a custom ‘50 Olds 88 with a mildly...
That chop looks fantastic. I have had vague ideas for mildly chopping my ‘50 Club Coupe DeLuxe but haven’t seen any examples that quite worked for...
Not a show car but I’ve always described it as a mild custom.[IMG][IMG] Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Time flies when you’re having fun!! The car restomod was finished in late 2017 - too late for the NYC-LA rally I wanted to kick off with- and the...
Hi there. I just stumbled on this. Waaay back in 2016 you posted this on a thread of mine about my ‘50 88 I was then starting to restomod for a...
Moose, Mad & Dave - you guys are fantastic, and fantastic artists!! Those are brilliant! Thanks, Thanks & Thanks
Are you doing yours like that now??
That is seriously smooth!!
Wow, that looks amazing; thanks Moose and everyone. The car is definitely going to be given a race look, but for the old cinder/beach tracks the...
Hi everyone. Is there anyone who would have a go at turning our 1950 Olds 88 red? After looking at a million cars that have driven by we'd like...
I have some sexy finned alloy drums coming my way for my '50 Olds 88 and I'm looking for shoes to match. I have a tip from the seller of the drums...
Update on the bodywork. The car has been stripped and soda blasted and I'm ordering some panels from Alex at EMS. Rockers and the front of the...
Boom boom to Bob Bird Man, I looked at the T-10. It wasn't in any Olds in the '50s although it did come out in an iron case in at least the '58...
Just a brief update & close out. I have now looked closely at the Hydramatic option, including actually tracking down a B&M Hydrostick and a guy...
Oh, and thanks for the tip on the flywheel material.
Thanks everyone, other than being mesmerised by Paul's motor & trans those observations have really got me thinking. The 3 speed Hydra was never a...
Apologies to my wife, but that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!
Thanks everyone. I'm unsurprised but saddened that there isn't a genuine Olds 4 speed option. I've (rather reluctantly) decided I can't use the...
Hi everyone. I'm looking for information on the manual boxes Oldsmobile was using from 1951 to 1959.[IMG] I'm upgrading my Lap the World...
Thanks Mark! :)
And in the news.... The ERA has released the route for the 2019 Peking to Paris!!!!! Spending days visiting Borat, Ferry across the Caspian Sea,...
I'm starting to love the shape. I chose a '50 Olds 88 because of its cultural history and what it had achieved as a race car - its looks didn't...
Disassembly of the body has mostly happened. Nothing too horrible - the engine seems to be a '54 or '55 324 block with original 303 heads -...
Thanks guys. Looking at the rear mudguard cutaways, by 1948 they were all pretty much just hacked right off! That crash is mind blowing. Sent...
Hadn't seen that article, thanks for it! Does show just how far from stock the competition is. I'm talking to Tony of Ross Racing Engines about...
I think you're both right. From what I can find out the 'Balcarce' car in gnichols' photo is the original - I've got 'Q' in my photo tags of what...
