Hello from overseas

Hi there
here's a newbie from Germany. I have a 1960 olds dynamic 88. I am currently working on a complete motor overhaul (371).

Future plans are adding more and more custom touches and turning the olds into an early 60s kustom. It's already slightly lowered, running astro supremes but sooner or later it will be bagged as well.

Looking forward to get in touch with other oldsmobile enthusiasts here

That's a neat old American car. Welcome, and good luck finding your valve train parts.

Thanks for the welcome guys! Here are some more pics...actually I didnt have a chance to take more yet because shortly after I bought the car the motor turned out to be a piece of s***... along with other issues... so i decided to pull the motor before the winter and about every part needs to be replaced... still looking for some parts... really excited to get it back on the road... I'll keep you updated

That bubble top is in great shape. The color is perfect.
It looks to have no rust.
I wonder how long it has been in Germany ?

@64 rocket
yes the body is pretty straight, no rust issues but have to sort out the mechanical issues and then its time to take the car to the next level, planning to add some custom touches and actually the car will be repainted with a watson-stlyed custom paintjob later on...
The car has been in Europe for a while now...its in Germany since I bought it end of last year but according to the information I have the olds spent most of its life in SoCal
