hct728(Bob) Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) My attempt at my wife’s first car, a 1978 Cutlass Supreme. Had to fill in the hood scoop on the initial issue kit, among other things to backdate and de-tune it. Made a bench seat for it too Couldn’t forget the car seat in the back, seeing our firstborn baking back there (no A/C) led us to trading it in on something more comfortable after 11 years!

espo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Very clean looking standard Olds. I would put this in a plastic case to protect it as this has to bring back so many pleasant Firsts in your life. The Childs Seat in the back is the perfect touch.

I painted a Taurus up as my Sable eons ago, minus the DOUBLE car seats IT had, time to re-do it better as well. I have some spare cases bought on sale, was ‘saving’ them, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some spare cases bought on sale, was ‘saving’ them, LOL I have a shelf in my "Cave" where I display models of cars I have owned through the years. Amazing thoughts sometimes come to mind when I happen to spend any time looking at them. I have always liked and enjoyed cars more than most even since childhood. This is why I suggested the extra efforts to preserve this model as it would represent a very special time in your life. Do what I have suggested and remember to look at it often when ever you need something to cheer you up or put your life in prospective and see if I'm not right about this, and good luck to you and your young family going forward in life.

Bills72sj Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I like the concept of triggering memories of your past by building a vehicle that has a personal connection. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
