Well, got a car, got a concept, now I gotta get something done! 1948 Oldsmobile Dynamic 78

This is what I got:

And this is kinda where I wanna go with it. Dropped to the dirt first, then a chop, and maybe down the road a big section.

Concepts: 1-2 chop/drop 3-4 chop/drop/section

man looks cool,, it makes me sick , i can find no tin down here, its rotted out, if it aint its to high to buy,, the south has lost alot of cool stuff to the mother nature effect,, and the purist hold the good stuff and it mind as well be made of gold

It ain't much better around here, the vintage stuff just isn't out there. I just got real lucky on this one. It's hard enough finding anything from the 60's. Whats more, it was on craigs list and in the paper for over 2 weeks while I was on vacation. Very little rot , blown motor , solid frame , and ALL the trim - $500. That still leaves me 46 dollars, 12 cents, and a cat eye marble for my budget. I'm happy.

Hey, I did one of these ---> when I saw it in person. I figured it would be melting into the ground. My wife was...well, rather upset with me until she saw it.
