    [​IMG]got to ask were the photos taken with a phone camera? as they don't seem to do the car justice??

    would love to see some really bright pictures taken in the sun and also at dusk to really get a feel for the deepness of the colour. Your making me want to get mine painted. like the fleck I think it must look fantastic in the sun. but its a bugger to photograph.

    photos were taken on a cheapo camera, gonna try to get some better ones soon out in the sun with the fall leaves. I tried to capture the pearl flake effect on the white but it didnt come through well in the pictures.
     
  3. Hey, I know that guy sitting on the passenger side in the black and white. Wait....that's ME! :D Yeah, the old trunk sure did make a great seat that day. I sure miss that car! I could still kick my brother in the ass for selling it, but man it sure looks great now! Awesome job!

    Thanks for keeping it on the road. I have a soft spot for 55 Oldsmobiles. Had 5 so far and still have 2. Should have had my butt kicked for doing a tilt front gasser out of the hardtop. Still kept it all Olds with a 394............fun stuff.

    Bet you won't be so quick to sell that good looking ride or use the trunk for a sofa..............
