my project '67 Oldsmobile Delmont 88

hello guys
I would have lots of photos to show, now I've done a summary of work done in almost 2 years, although many are not in the photo video.
I will try to put them in this thread a bit at a time.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Nice work. It's good to see someone saving one of the "big Girls." Looking forward to see the progress. If you need some parts I may be able to help you. Ken

Wow, beautiful job!

It takes real guts to do a frame-off on a Delmont 88.

beginning I did not like the color very much, but then seeing some parts, I'm loving it.
I think when this is over I will be very jealous if someone is approaching.

Looks like VERY nice work. I noticed you are running tubular headers, based on tha last pic. Are these custom-made? I'd love to see the driver's side as well.

was very difficult to put the headers on this Delmont, the space was too low and the driver side was impossible, I had to invent new steps, completely redo the headers.

You continue to amaze me at the work you are doing. Very nice.

Still, I would love to see pictures of the drivers side exhaust pipes. The steering box is really in the way on these cars.

RED
was very complicated and not really that nervous because he passed the pipe, I eventually had to cut everything and redo the steps to remove the starter for maintenance and connect the two tubes that you see in photos in a single tube.
If I think the work that I did not do it again more

Olds67: You are doing a great job! The header on the left side looks like it took a lot of work to make it right. I think that I will keep my factory manifolds.
Nice restoration on the steering wheel. Mine is cracked as well. Por15 has a steering wheel repair kit. I might just attempt this repair myself.
