1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88, 425 big block super rocket, automatic transmision.

I have owned this car for about five years now. I purchased it from an elderly man who would put about twenty miles on it a year for the past twenty years. When I received the car it was all original and in very good shape with only 38000 miles on it. I drove it for a few years as was; then while in school for auto body I decided it need a paint job. The simple paint job quickly changed into doing a few modifications and this is the end result.

Some shots of the fender and door. I made a lot of work for myself by shaving all that trim.

Geting closer to the end. The project always seems to speed up when you get to primer.

First time out in the sun. This is my favorite part of any paint job.
