That looks sweet! Those seats are really well done.

Sweet, another Z car! I love 'em. Two big thumbs up.

In the battle of the '94-'98 Mustang models, the Revellogram kit is much better than the AMT offering in many ways. This kit isn't fun to build, but with a little work and a lot of patience, it makes for a decent early SN95. The color scheme you picked should look really good.

Definitely an oldie but goodie! It looks fantastic, what a sweet build.

That's a sweet bit of scratchbuilding right there. Looks great! Are you working up a little Fisher/Horning crossflow head for that?

Some really great work going on with this one! Definitely following along.

Agreed. Tacky Glue is a great temporary assembly adhesive. It is tacky and holds parts in place well. You don't need to use much, and that makes removing the dried glue afterwards that much easier.

She's a looker! That blue and white combo is sharp. Really nice build.

Since we've only got the one pic to go on, I'd say this one is going to remain a mystery until someone runs into the owner of the Olds and gets a definitive answer. Just because cars are built on the same platform doesn't mean all body panels interchange. It's possible that the owner of the Olds used '61 Buick or Pontiac parts - it's not any easier to find them, btw - but there are huge differences in the rear quarters, rear bumper, tail light panels and trunk lid between these cars. Making everything work together would be an intensive, and undoubtedly expensive, undertaking by a skilled autobody shop. I'm not saying it couldn't be done. As a custom job, it certainly is cool. But until we get more info, we're all just spitballin'.

The paint is amazing and the brightwork looks great. However, the louvered tail lights only have chrome on the edge of each individual slat, not the whole surround. On the real cars it's pretty subtle, and in 1:25 scale, the areas that you have to chrome are very, very tiny.

I wouldn't hold my breath. He hasn't been active since July. It is a cool build, though.

Since we're talking about rare options, this might be of interest: https://www.holley.com/blog/post/unearthed_the_cuda_just_around_the_corner/?srsltid=AfmBOop17U3ohZrY6vO319KPTzWnq9v7Kv29JUnp-OV-H6yx5cy-p00I

Wow, she's an absolute beauty! Subtle and cool. 🍺

I love the color! Really nice build. ??

There was an announcement on IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaucher_kustoms/reel/DCP1XAAtFkN/

Insane build! I love all the details in the engine bay. Very, very well done. ?

Just curious. Same can or few cans? Above you said you painted two out of the three models white, so I'm assuming that white was from the same batch. Could it be a bad batch of paint? Re: temp & humidity. Below is a AMT Dodge Challenger that I sprayed with TS-24 Purple on a very hot day in August. It dried very quickly, as those paints do, but the high temps didn't help and I probably didn't lay down enough paint for the conditions.

She's a beauty!! ??Always nice to see another Olds finished up. I haven't built one of these in a while (probably since original release) and I had forgotten it came with an auto transmission.

The square headlights were part of the V22 Deluxe Appearance package for the '80 model year. It was standard on the Silverado, but could be had as an extra cost option for lower trim levels IIRC.

I think we're going to see the '81-up trucks become very popular after the (eventual) release of Revell's Stranger Things Blazer. I'm sure the aftermarket is going to have a ball making stuff for that kit. Perhaps Revell will follow up with a K10 short bed, or...? Personally, I think the early '73-'80 bodystyle deserve a new tool. The Monogram offerings border on ancient, they're not that detailed, and they've got assembly and proportion issues. It would be good to see a modern, well-engineered kit of any of the '73-'79 trucks (leaving out the 1980 b/c of those awful headlights).

The '71 442 kit has the exact same options, TH400 or 4 speed.

The original post is a decade old, and the photos were probably hosted off-site.

That looks good, really good! Subtle & cool. ??

And it's a separate piece!
