    Howdy guys, sorry for being so late on the posts...I would say finding the lace for the roof was the hardest part, I think I went to every fabric store located in San Antonio. I ended up getting it from Jo-Anns, Hobby Lobby just had the generic rose look at every one. I wanted it to be something different and made sure it wasnt going to be the same pattern on every other car you saw. The Olds tail lights were purchased from www.fusicks.com and the gaskets came from www.macsautoparts.com. The car has not made it to Dustin's just yet, I will be leaving it up to my brother to take care of, since he is closet to the car. Thanks for the love and questions ;-)
     
  3. Very nice! I knew I had seen this car around here somewhere when I saw the pics.

    Very nice ride! I tried the site you listed for the olds taillights and it did not come up, just curious what year are those lenses?

  8. Actually, I think I saw it at the LSRU. But I also frequent your town on my way to Seguin or Javelina H-D dealer. There are several 52 - 54's running around these parts... See you on the road!
