Even though Ive been a member for quite sometime Ive at last got off my bum to post a couple of pics of my not long finished 1949-50 Australian assembled Olds,it was origanally a 4 door sedan cut a section out rear doors and welded into front, welded up rear doors, boxed chassis chopped screen 2 1/2 " used VW Golf screens. Runs 455 olds with Edelbrock heads mild cam, Edelbrock performer with twin 50 mm lpg gas carbs turbo 400 with a 2200 stall[not high enough] 9" rear with 2.7 gears. Great for cruisen but hopeless at the drags, best of 14.2 @97mph on bog standard street tyres, have some 3.5 gears for the next bash and might buy some slicks.P1010084.jpgP1010083.jpgP1010002.jpg

Nice car but when they were doing all that customizing could they have fixed the steering wheel and put it on the correct side!!!! LOL

 

Welcome to our site! She is very beautiful!!!! Love the color! It does look strange, sitting on the passenger side to drive, lol!

 

Welcome to the forum. Very nice car.

 

Nice ride!

 

Saweet ride,

Great to have another Aussie on board. I like the right hand drive, it makes it look like the picture negatives were developed backwards

 

Just wondering did oldsmobile put out any ute's ?

 

Beautiful car, thanks for sharing the pics.

 

Cheers guys the colour is cyber green which is new VW beetle colour. Olds never made utes but chev did i think until 1952 you could adapt the olds front to chev. My next project which is underway is a 1951 ford ute its running a Tickford ford 5 litre with 4 speed auto and a 9" rear

How cool is that? That color is great on that car. We need to see more Ute's! and...is that a 67-68 Falcon next to it?? Special place in my heart for those.

I absolutely love what you have done to the Oldsmobile, very nice.

 

Exceptional metal work on the transformation from a 4 door to a convertible! Amazing, best I can say. Glad to have you on CO!

 

That is a great looking OLDS. You have done yourself proud.

You should look for some '48 Olds 98 tail light lens. They are glass and fit right in. Has to be the '48 Olds 98 model.

All I can say is, WOW!
