Looks to be a pretty solid car. Did you do any of the work yourself? Is it pretty much all original?



And, welcome to the group.

The car came to Minnesota from Texas in pieces and was reassembled by the previous owner. I did the body repair work that it needed, which was just flat sanding it to get it straighter. Completely original drivetrain. Numbers match 303 V8 with hydramatic and torque tube. Frame/floors are solid as new. Has original power windows, front seat and steering.



I've considered giving it nice shiney paint...but I like it flat black. The scallops are "just for fun" and just rattle canned on. The only bondo in the car is very thin skim coats for the flat sanding. I've had the car 4 years now and am thinking about selling her. It's a very hard to find car. Only 48 registered for road use in the U.S. There are 3 others in Iowa. It's got the extra long trunk being the 98 Deluxe. I still have all the original trim pieces in case a collector was to want to put it back to stock. There hasn't been any radical bodywork done to it...just added a pair of 59 Caddy tail lights transitioned by 53 Pontiac bezels. The car is 99.9% complete.



Thanks for the welcome:D

Very cool ride Old's make great kustoms........ A friend of mine has a '50 Old's fastback and it's a very cool ride.



Why the lowrider dingle balls, strange looking on a traditional custom?
