Red face My first restoration/Series 90 oldsmobile

Just a couple of pictures of my beloved rust pile. Anyone with tips or tricks on returning this car to it's former beauty, I would appreciate your ideas. I am including a link to youtube video's of my car inside and out I will try to post better quality video once I master my new video camera.

Thanks, I hope someone sees what I do in my car.

That is an awsome car!

You don't see pre-war cars very often. My suggestion is a frame off restoration. It will be alot of work but it will be fun to drive once it is done. Looks like you have a decent starting point.

Fantastic car. Love the seat heater.

Good luck with the project!

Talking Thanks guys!

It's nice to know I'm not the only person that believes this old car is worth saving. Hey Kartmaster, good eye, no one else has ever recognized the seat heater! funny thing about it is I think it may actually still work! I plan to take my time and make sure every detail is done right. the hard part was over once I had the car in my hands. Never thought I would find one with this particular style.
