FordRodnKustom Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 This fought me every step of the way but I'm finally calling it done. Here it is, warts and all. I started with this forlorn old JoHan build up And after a little work my journey ended up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 This is the Olds that came back from the dead. From basket case to wonderful model - that takes talent and perseverance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Nice job Ron!! These Johan '59 Oldsmobiles are getting to be about as rare as they come! It's nice to see one brought back from the dead! The paint is just "glorious"!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Wow! I just love 1959-60 GM "flattops"! That is a super sharp paint job, and a superb rescue! I've got one of these as well and yes, they are getting harder and harder to find. Heaven knows when I'll get around to rescuing mine, but you've done a fantastic job with this one!
