Same here, I'm 59 and I'm building a lot off of memories as a child at the race track and through my adulthood..... Keeps it fun?

That is looking super good!!! I'm impressed with the direction the whole build is going....glad to see you back at it! ?

I'm always hunting ebay for those exact set of wheels....they work great on all kinds of builds. ?

I know I said I'm done with this build but I came across these 4 spoke "Cragars" and wanted to see how they would look on the Celica...... Front tires are from a Bluebird, rear is from a Pinto. Thoughs.....? Keep in mind this is just a mockup..... Thanks for looking guys. ?

The roof conversion looked close enough to spray primer down to bring out any imperfections in my body work.....looks like I got a little more bodywork to do. Other than that, I'm still very pleased with how this Oldsmobile is coming along. Thanks for all the encouragement guys. ?

Does anyone clear coat over their photo etched parts, or do you recommend it? Or don't recommend it? Options for protecting them once applied to the model..... Thanks everyone ?

Super cool!!! ???

Took a break from all the putty and sanding......and started putting together the Oldsmobile 455 "Rocket" Motor.

Next up on my cutting mat..... The first car I ever owned. Revell 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible with a 1970 AMT Monte Carlo donor body to convert the Olds convertible to a Hardtop. Still a lot of putty and sanding to do, but it's getting there......

All pau.... thanks for looking ?

A little bit of camber.....

Body and chassis just about ready to be mated...

I just finished my 63 Nova Wagon not to long ago...super fun build. Your wagon looks great....keep us all updated on the progress.

The under carriage of this curbside kit...

Super cool....let the madness continue

Interior almost done....

Thanks ?

My good friend @Hondamatichad them hiding in his storage, I traded him wheels he wanted that I had.

Next up on my cutting mat is this 1977 Celica GT Liftback. Just going to lower the stance, and throw on a set of wide 14 inch MK-II's. Here's where I'm at right now... Thanks for looking ?

I took a small piece of the curbside chassis and added it to the SS chassis.....

AMT 63 Nova Wagon "454SS" Not so curbside kit..... Used an AMT Nova SS chassis and ALL related parts underneath, Revell ChevelleSS 454 engine and related parts. Stuff in the interior came from multiple sellers here locally and online. Color is Mission Models Iridescent Pearl Teal shot over Splash Paints Sparkle Silver Base. Primer was Tamiya White. Mr. Hobby 2k UV Cut Clear is the final coat cut with 5k, 8k, 10k, and 12k wet sandpaper....then machine buffed and polished. Thanks to @Hondamaticfor the cool ideas for the build....this car really has a story to tell if you stare at it long enough. Thanks for looking.....

Yes, like Hondamatic said, I used an AMT 66 Nova SS chassis, and all related parts. That's why the undercarriage is so detailed. Motor is from Revell 70 Chevelle SS454.

Still need to hunt down a few more parts...like you can see there's no brake booster/reservoir. Install side view mirror, and waiting for more decal paper to come so I can print a few small decals that I want on this build. Lots of thanks to @Hondamatic

Really enjoying following this build‼️

Thank you....I'm having a lot of fun building this one.
