fury3 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So glad you finally got in touch with Randy so that you can now share your many top notch builds with us...and participate in THIS forum. This build looks to be done to your usual high standards. That Cameo White from MCW looks fantastic. Did it lay down easily (?), as according to "MrMike", he had major problems with it (which is unusual with MCW paint) on his 72 442 build. As far as those Red front inner wheel housings, weren't they made of plastic and an extra cost option from the Oldsmobile Division? Duane, now that you are able to post photos, I think you deserve another welcome to the MCM Forum. WELCOME! Fury3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPALASS89 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks Dave The inner whee wells were plastic if I recall correctly they were on the gto cutlass as far as I know these are the only two cars I have seem them on from gm. The Cameo white went on nice and smooth I use a bager 250 to spray my paint on at about 20 psi I always have good results with mcw paint I have been usuing this paint. I started usuing mcw paint around 1988 when I found him at the toledo show and hever had any issues with his paint.I used a red from mcw I'll have to see what the color is ant let blunc the color.

bbowser Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Beautiful A body. And yes, those inner fenders were plastic and red on the W-30 442's IIRC. I think they only did that for one or two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
