Matching flake and paint on the rear diff., "Mercury Silver" on the leaf springs, SMS "Nickel" finish on the exhaust and drive shaft. Chassis and I.F.S. is covered in "Miami Beach"
-
Silver metallic flakes used as a base. Kandy "Pineapple" on the motor, and lots of chrome. Zero fog thanks to Stevens International Maxi Cure C.A.
-
Pretty much box stock with a few detailing here and there. Some P.E., maybe an aftermarket set of wheels, and lots of Kandy paint!

If memory serves me right, the 69-72 442's were the blue motors while the Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme were the gold motors. I could be wrong, and would be open to corrections. ?
-
As an avid fan of Oldsmobiles, if you're building a 442, the motor should be a light metallic blue, and the front fender wells should be red. But yes, a very nice build indeed! I know those side body stripes a very tricky to apply and position, you did a great job. Overall, great box stock build. ?

Interior is very nice. ?
-
Brush (on small areas like interior or motor) or spray/airbrush (on larger areas) clear paint, or even clear semigloss, or flat clear on the affected area. I've experimented with Future Finish, and it also works. Hope this helps, and works for you too. Aloha builders. ?

Now that's an awesome drag car build ???

So, for those of you who were asking about the AN fittings...... The small round ones, like on the valve covers and breather canister are metal beads. I like using them whenever possible because they're way cheaper than the ones I use on the fuel lines, radiator hose, heater hose.....those are made by Detail Master. They can be found pretty much anywhere online. I normally buy them through Scaleriders online shop. They come silver, so you will be painting them with clear red, clear blue, or clear gold. Those are the standard colors most AN fittings.

Thank you....glad you like the build. ?

No, they're from iceman Collection

Pontiac Crate Motor, Honeycomb wheels, frame connector, traction bars, electric fans, trans cooler, serpentine belt and more... 20230602_201047.mp4

Still not done, but it's close enough. 20230227_125559.mp4

Front bumper needed more work getting her to fit tighter, so as you can see, the beam clamps are back on the Cadillac
-
Almost there..... Just a few last pieces need to make their way onto the car. Then wait for Detail Junkees to release new photo etched parts that I want for this build.....

Not a real fan of Fords, but I absolutely love this "Elenor" build! "Go Baby Go!"

Both excellent builds! ?

Great looking build! More pics please ?

So, I know there are several great choices out there for us builders, especially for the 1/24-1/25 scale motors. I personally love using ConnKur pre-wired distributors on my builds. I want to know if there is anyone out there who makes pre-wired duel Magneto distributors as found on Top Fuel Funnycars and Rail Dragsters.

I like that saying! ?

FYI, this is not BMF. I use Hasegawa film. The one on the dash, and interior is "Aluminum" and the shiny ones on the body is called "Mirror Finish"
