Glassguy's Olds is finally out in the daylight again!!!

Dave,what are you going to do for a windshield?

 

I like the 58 Chevy front bumper idea.

 

Dave, I'd chat with you anytime 'bout cars! Esp. OLDS!
I'm in the shop most afternoons, ( I do try to take off one afternoon a week, usually Mon.) 3:30 to 6, or later.
Sat. and Sun. all day, until we get the truck finished!
Even if I don't pick up, I might be there...can't hear the phone if the grinder, or compressor are cranking, or if I'm painting.

I love 1958 cars! The Olds may not be the best looking car ever but it's cool, kind of like a jukebox on wheels!

 

crummy pics but thought this was ironic. theres a picture of me with the olds when i was about 7 and a pic with my daughter emily who is 7

 

few other colors.. wish there was a way to turn the flash off on my cam..

 

last pics.. had to adjust the al***ude yesterday, to keep my enthusiasm up! it looked like *** with the nose up in the air..

 

thanks mark !! i hope you dont live to regret giving me this number!! after reading the new kustoms illustrated im tempted to drive there!!!

 

hey larry ...im gonna cross my fingers, say a hail mary, hold my breath, rub a buddahs belly etc etc etc!!!! then when i break it ill make one from lexan for the time being.. this windshield is BIG money so i get one shot at it..

 

Boy, even at 7 there was a big height difference between you and your daughter. You hardley reached the bumper in your picture, but she appears to be of normal height, Good thing she got that from Liz!

Looks cool Dave!

 

Those things are slow enough with thier size and weight, much less adding 800 lbs in all those paint jobs!

 

Dave or the Olds???

 

I can't believe I missed this thread, especially when everyone is having such a good time poking fun at Dave.
And for the record Keith, YES, we did make it out of the back seat.....but that was only to retrieve the fuzzy handcuffs that Dave had in the glove box. (he told me it was his "mirror muff")

 

a few updates coming soon... starting to make some progress

 

i know i know the wheels look awesome im keeping them! they go with the bumpers! haha

 

It's about ****in time you got an update up here, I was gettin ready to put some pics up here myself!

It's lookin good, Dave...you gotta keep those wheels and you've gotta put it back in pink...that'll be you all the way.

 

I think the wheels are groovy!

 

cool! i have a love/hate relationship with them 58's! i miss the one i used to play with. was gonna clip it like that too since you cant really get the **** to rebuild those front ends. what engine you gonna run in it?

 

nice upgrade with the clip,what year is the clip and from what donor? keep the pic's coming and what motor/trans combo are you going to use?

 

I saw a 58 several years back at Pate that was a real light,nearly white,lavender. It was a mild custom and was perfect. I'd never seen one before. keep the pictures coming Dave. TP

 

dave. Great to see you on something. I am in the same boat....Hope you keep pushing ahead....

Larry

 

Cant wait.

 

chop olds in order to make this a masterpiece your phone is gonna be ringing off the hook! hope you dont me bugging you a little when i start chopping? ive never done one of these before.. ive been studieng yours alot, just watched another tape from 93 to see your olds for the 100th time i may look for a free 57 roof to use the back windows...[/quote]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I chopped a 57 Buick,if you put a 57 top a your Olds it would be
about the same chop.

I say go with the porch, what's another 500 lbs?

 

Hey, thats my back porch !

 

Ya know, this p***ed wknd would have been the Road Agents show. You're late.

Keep up the good work.

 

It's totally cool. I would have mentioned it was yours but I don't remember where I got it.

 

That is cool.
Any more pics of your car you can share, that'll inspire the ***guy?

 

Pretty much stock body, nice interior, 46,000 actual miles, but couldn't resist messing with the engine. 10.5 compression, Ross Pistons, 60 over, Smith Bros. Push Rods, Goatroper Rockers in place of stock adjustable, Clay Smith Cam (230 @ .050), killer port work, balanced, 3.42 rear, 4,680 pounds and 20 foot of pure joy to drive.

 

Mercs are for jerks? Guess I better sell mine then....
