This is my new (well not exactky new) ride (well not exactly a ride yet, not quite road worthy).

Shes a 1961 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Dynamic sporting a 394ci V8 engine that runs smooth and loud. Shes in pretty good shape considering the age and that it was never really a pampered car (some rust here and there...mostly on the body and a little on the engine but nothing that cant be fixed).

Take a look for yourself...this is the day I bought her. May 9th 2007.

Day after I got her me and my buds stripped the interior clean and prepped some rot on the floor for some sheet metal....

Finally got the effin dash out...took about 3 hours to get it out heres the car without it and my friend drew welding a patch onto a rot spot on the floor

Nice ride man, I've got one just like it. Right now the only thing keeping her off the road is having brake issues. Needs some body work too, but I love the body style.

I have the exact same car; same color and model. it needs front end suspension work though. did you need to replace any front end parts? if so, where did you go? thanks
