Steve_L Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) These are pictures of my 1950 Oldsmobile Custom car. I combined the Revell 1950 Oldsmobile kit with a resin body from Morgan Automotive Detail. Custom features include a chopped top, extensive lowering with a 1950's rake, de-chroming, custom floating grille and bumpers, 1958 Chevy roof scoop, frenched and tunneled headlights, 1960 Corvette taillights, custom wheels and tires from the vintage Revell 1960 Corvette kit and a 1958 Chevy steering wheel. I swapped in a 1969 Olds 442 engine and transmission and added ignition wires and rubber radiator hoses. I finished the build with Spaz Stix candy gold. I learned some things along the way and had plenty of fun with it. Enjoy! Edited December 17, 2014 by Steve_L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Morgan Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Very nice job Stephen. Thanks for posting the pics. The extra customizing you did came out well. And, I love the color. We left the trim on the body for those that wanted something a bit milder than you did. As you have proven, those that want to go the extra step and de-chrome it and add a few more touches can do so.
