Curved dash Oldsmobile

That is a classic!! I saw one of these made using a 16 h.pk lawn mower engine. It looked like it would be a blast to drive around. It's hard to imagine this was a real car and used for every day use. Well done, and an exciting subject. The one below sold at auction for $42K, and traveled over multiple states. ;)

Yes it's one of the great classic cars, I enjoy building it.
 
I believe he scratch built his (nothing wrong with that). I have just located many line drawings. It wouldn't be easy to do, as there is the engine, etc. but just making the body wouldn't be hard. Only problem with that is when you flip it over, there's nothing there, and I find it difficult to make models like that. P.M. me Rhaven. " :)

So does that mean you'll try your luck at making one?
