With the Daytona 500 upon us and my 69 Hurst Olds fighting me, I thought I'd get these out and work on them a little. Had painted and decaled a couple years ago but never gotten around to finishing them. Chassis's are painted and then cleared with Tamiya Semi Gloss Clear. Looks better than Gloss or Flat to me on the chassis. Tired have been delettered and decaled and shot with Flat clear. Looks great but they seem to want to stick to everything. Don't even remember what Flat Clear I used

Love it. -
I did cut the front glass from the rear so that I didn't have the "runnners" running front to back. Thanks for the comments. Not to bad for a Mopar Man I guess
-
Got the hood decal the best I could using MicroSol and MicroSet. Still have a few wrinkles but not to bad.

Wow that looks great. Never seen that one before. Thanks for sharing

Engine completed.

No I have never been to the meetings. Have thought about it. Engine is about done. Other than some engine work and final clean up it's all but done
-
Were the wheels Gold or Gray Metal color? I have been seeing them both ways and I am not sure which way the originally came.

I love these old Johan kits. Wish someone would retool or find the original molds and bring them back. Olds looks great.

I thought I would take advantage of the little warmer weather here in Maryland this week since I've been working what seems like non-stop and try and get my 64 Impala painted. Primed with Tamiya Gray Primer and then a couple coats of Tamiya Maroon. Did go as well as I had hoped. Paint ran off high spots and panel seams. Guess I'll have to wait the cooler weather out and scuff and repaint. I like the color though. I started a 50 Oldsmobile with this color but after the first coat it looked like it was going to be purple looking but i was determined to see this one through for the color.
