Ran across these old pics!

Ran across these old pics, circa 1990....bought the '84 Delta for $325! First complete paint job I ever did! Sorry about the size, I scanned them in and couldn't figure out how to make then larger!

This car ran forever....last time I heard, ten years ago, still running with over 225K on it! Sure it is dead by now! The last pic, you can see my '68 Ford XLGT...

Couple other Olds'!

The '79 Cutlass, was another of my favorites! Sold it to buy the '68 Ford and the '84 Delta.....my '88 Cierra was pretty nice too! Actually pretty quick believe it or not.....

I think you showed me those pics, if I remember right, it turned out pretty nice. Then again, I'm not surprised with your attention to detail.

Scanned some photos of one of my past project cars which was or maybe still is a 75 Firebird. I do not know if it is still around as I have not seen it since it was sold back in 98. I do know that he lived in Irving at the time, but who knows? Check out the photos even though it is not an Oldsmobile but as far I am concerned it is as close as you can get w/o being one.
