incident with my Olds

hello guys
about 4 months ago I had an accident with my Olds, I just placed the TH 400 and I changed the governor, I went out to try the car at an intersection and a car I got on him breaking the wheel and fender, molding and tie rod and brake drum.
Thank you so much Jay C.O. that helped me find the parts and another member of CO I sold the drum.
thanks guys!!!!!!

are waiting for the arrival of drum brake because what I was corrupt and wrong turns. Olds, however, I'll change that part then reassembled when the new one arrives.

Man, you do good metal work! I thought the fender would need replacing! Of course being in Italy and the low popularity of that model would mean hard to get...
Glad you got it all fixed up and ready to cruise again. Those Delmonts are sweet cars!

Impressive body work skills. I like the shot with the tree trunk, anvil and dolly. It's good to see someone who can actually repair something rather than just R&R parts.

I was afraid that the damage was huge and I could not get out of Olds.
Then when I saw the damage I started to cry then I got busy and now I'm almost ready.
thanks for the compliments

Even if you were able to buy a repop fender, you would probably would have had to do the same amount of work just to get it to fit...
Glad you saved your fender and made yourself happy with the great results!

No, no repops made for the Delmont (that I know of.) You did the best thing to fix your old one!

I've been drooling all over your car on YouTube ... ever since it was completed.

Sorry about your mishap, glad it wasn't worse & happy to see it's getting fixed up.

I'm happy now but long ago I was very nervous, I was lucky that no m I have done nothing serious

I'm picking up some pictures of my hot rod project to make a video to put on you tube, I'm doing a replica of a 32 ford Rodster I built the frame and now I'm building parts of the body

Magnifico!!

The Italians have a long tradition of fine metalworking and bodywork is basically the same thing.
I try to channel my Italian side when I'm doing bodywork but after awhile my German side takes over and I start getting too technical.
Hand any guy on the street in Italy few sheets of aluminum and after a couple of hours of beating and banging he'll hand you back the body for a Ferrari.

Nice job on the body work. Do you do that by trade or is it your hobby?
