These pictures do not accurately capture the color, but the interior is done.

Love the Boss engine in that thing!! I hope the phantom vickie is an acceptable version, if not I'll gladly delete. This is the only Victoria I have built. It was done a very long time ago from a bunch of spare parts and I think I sold it on ebay way back when too so these are the best pictures I have of it.

I really like the styling of that era, don't care what anyone else says! Haha. This is a very cool project.

That looks pretty good! Neat to see two of these being built currently.

Thanks guys! Got the interior sprayed with an old can of Krylon satin burgundy I had, then most of the detail painting done. Engine and chassis will be next.

That is neat!

Great looking car, I’ve never seen that model before.

Man I'd love to see that!! I am a big Olds fan. Have a '64 Cutlass in the garage awaiting it's turn for attention. Have had it nearly 20 years.

Absolutely stellar build quality. I think this looks better than the real deal.

Nice work and love the subject matter!

Thanks all!! No sir, they are from Fireball Modelworks. They are meant for the Revell ‘83 Hurst Olds kit but I cut the back half off of them and they fit well to the kit wheel backs. Forgot to mention the tires are from the AMT Polyglas Gasser ‘62 Pontiac.

Finished up the ‘69 Cutlass I was working on, now back on this one until it’s done. November 30th deadline. Cleaned up the seams and got it in primer. Got the suspension sorted out to lower it and have the wheels/tires final fit. Got 4-wheel disc brakes on it too.

Converted of course from the AMT 442 kit. I didn't set out to build it this way but found inspiration in my favorite Olds from the 2019 MCACN show. It was a uniquely optioned car, a Cutlass S with the W31 package and in special ordered Toronado Powder Blue. While not an exact replica (this one has a 4-speed manual trans, and the interior shade is a bit off, and I added a Sport steering wheel) I got as close as I could get. Technically a 400-455 Olds engine is significantly wider than the small block a W31 would have, but in scale the kit engine is close enough and some gold paint designates it appropriately. Built mostly box stock with some refinements on fit and finish. The wheels and door handles are from Fireball Modelworks, Keith Marks supplied the emblem decals, I converted the kit grill to a Cutlass S version, and the paint is from Scale Finishes. All trim done with Molotov. I forgot about shaving the fender lip trim prior to paint, so it was intentionally left body color. Paint is always a struggle for me and this one has a number of flaws but overall it turned out much better than I had expected. Thanks for looking!

Would love to see more of this one!

Dang Dennis, I wish I was building them that nice at 13!

Looks great, love the tonneau cover over the back seat!

Some inspiration...Ignore the ‘70’s stuff and that one late ‘40’s thing ?

I like that a lot, one of my favorite body styles. Vinyl roof is a nice touch!

Heck yeah! My official hat in the ring...A very John Buttera style ‘29 Roadster. Seems it would be difficult to accurately recreate a specific one unless I can find a bunch of detail pictures.

That spoiler is just right.

Thanks Dennis! Once I strip the chrome from those wheels I think they will look a lot better too. Started on the stock/flattened firewall, should have some good progress to report this week.

He is a horrible representation of the profession.

Side profile is sinister, looking good!

Very nice, very accurate looking work! Killer C10.
