My work in progress
This is my 59 Olds Dynamic 88. Matching numbers 371 Rocket came with the car as well as matching trans.
It's the original paint, original rust, and interior minus the newly welded in floor pans. Everything on it works down to the radio/lights. Between this and my motorcycle build I stay busy.
Instead of starting a bunch of new threads I will keep all my vehicle pics and stats contained in this one thread. I'd hate to clutter the board

Re: My work in progress
Plymouth Fury I converted to disk brakes 6 months ago for a friend. Can't remember the year but was a fun project. Not mine but still worth sharing. 413 big block.

Re: My work in progress
Future plans included car shows and possibly a profitable sale. We will have to see how money goes.
Here's more of the Fury

Re: My work in progress
Same friend with the Fury owns this fun ride.
56 Chevy with 383 Stroker and a 4 speed. Again, not mine but a sweet ride I did some work on and got to drive.
This friend hooked me up with the Olds in the original post. Cool guy and has all the fun cars.

The Plymouth is a '60 I believe.

Re: My work in progress
You're right, that is the 57. I looked at the invoices for the work I did and the 56 was blue not green.

The Galaxy is a blast to drive. So smooth, no cold start issues...quiet.
Granted I love a cam thumping monsters, this car is just fun. By now you can see my friend has the cool cars and I mainly live vicariously through his toys. I snap pics whenever I have time involved in them.

Well, I closed my shop in December in favor of affordable insurance and not paying taxes out my ears.
But...
I actually specialized in HVAC, Hybrid vehicle service, Networking and Body Controls, Diagnostic/repairs. Beyond that just your general maintenance and repairs. Some engine installs and rebuilds etc.
