Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Not mine (wish it were). I think it's a 1957 Oldsmobile 88 convertible.
My brother's next project. I don't know what he's doing to it. Maybe he'll (budmoore) chime in.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Teared up? That was probably just a piece of truck rust lodged in your eye.
Update: trim has shipped and should arrive tomorrow.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
That trim definitely looks nice! Who'd you get it from? I've gotten some that was crap and I just ended up using nice original pieces. Kind of hard to do that though.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks Ryan
I figured since the rest looks fairly new, might as well get the new trim - the U.S.A. made trim  I've still got the old trim, but it would have been too much work/time to clean it up. The rest of the trim is original (windshield, cab divider, tailgate). I'm considering getting the tailgate trim to match the nos tailight bezels/trim. Haven't really had time to think much on it though.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Looking to trek out to my bro's work to install some lower trim, but it looks like for 15 minutes of the ride, rain.
 What to do...

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man - I agree! My brother knocked it out in about an hour.
He's thinking about opening his own business: trim, ina bout an hour.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I'm not sure how to translate that comment. Only to say I've gotten plenty of compliments during the first 140 miles.There's been the fair share of people wanting to race their mini van. Not so bad though if they're the soccer moms taking a second look
