Vehicle History: This is a 2 owner, one family Nebraska car that I found on Craigslist for $2700. It was trailered to Wisconsin by an Oldsmobile collector but was never titled so it is only a 2nd owner car. I got this car when I was 16, as a project, and so far I've redone brakes, rust repair, patched floors, got all of the electrical working, painted parts, added my own little custom touches here and there.
Other Comments: Plan is to build it as a period correct custom from the mid-60s, semi-Bellflower lowrider/ custom style. Work is somewhat slow and of a lesser quality than one would expect, but I'm 17 and this is my learning car. I want to go into automotive restoration / customizing and body work so I'm using this car to help me learn. Its a ton of fun to work on and even more fun to drive the only thing like it, in school or on the road.
