Got this the other day...Im on a 40's and 50s lick now lol.....Decided to use the left over paint from the Chevelle build...Original plans was to just flat black it but decided against that....Prob wont be using these wheels...Still up in the air on them..

Beautiful color. I like the wheels too.

[crazyjim]

Looks excellent.

[glusnifr]

great paint job .   is that the rootbeer laquer?

[horsepower]

All that's needed now is to send it to me, I can see you've already lost interest.

[W-Machine]

That color really works on your Olds.

[sbk]

As others said, great looking color. What brand & color name?

[slammedi'am]

Paint is from Duplicolor....Its a factory GM color and cant remember the exact name of it but I think it was called cordova brown metallic...I did it over a black base coat on this one..

 

 

Thanks everyone...Been working on the interior the most right now

[Villain]

Nice color!

[W-409]

Very nice color, and fantastic paint job! I bet this will be great quality build once finished, since you do excellent work with every build. But those wheels just don't fit with this body at all, it needs 15" wheels with narrow white wall tires.

 

Oh well, actually I think every single car can't have any bigger wheels than 15" (Including new Camaro, Challenger etc.), so...... .

Lol alot of people isnt into the big wheels look and had thought about the whitewalls and chrome steelies but gonna use those for another project I got going on

[ItsThePaint!]

Those wheels look great on there, especially with that great paint. I don't get the hang-up with the big wheels, traditional or not, that's not what hot rods and customs are all about. It's PERSONAL expression. As a side note, cars with 15 inch wheels ride nice and cushy, but handle like an elephant on stilts. 

 

Again, nice job on your build.

[vintagedragfan]

nice start I like it!!

[Jantrix]

I do love the color.

[slammedi'am]

[Chris White]

I used to think that this was a "But Ugly" car, now I want to build one for myself.

[earlleecliffton]

[Draggon]

[slammedi'am]
