Big fan of mild customs, and this one is a great example. Very well done!

Love this body style, very sharp Olds. You're painting it the right color, too, so of course I'll be watching!

Thanks for that informative response. The metal-like finish of those look as convincing as any acrylic base paint I've seen, and better than most. Very impressive!

Those have a nice appearance, are they sprayed or brushed on? Curious if they can be brushed ?

Getting a really nice attitude now, love the way it sits.

Looking GOOD! I love a red car, but I'm STILL surprised at just how good that Olds body looks in red, and it looks like you have the stance dialed in. Can't wait to see that one done!

I think she's on to something there! That color should make the pinto a standout, silver stripes doesn't sound bad either. Do a spoon test, show us (and yourself) how it'll look!

Those wires and wide whites look sweeet on that car. I picked up one of those bodies years ago in Louisville; love those fins! Are those wheels from the AMT Riviera kit?

Red '32 with a blown engine and chrome wheels epitomizes Hot Rod! Very cool concept and clean execution. Gorgeous.

Very sharp; just screams race car! The stance is right on, just aggressive enough, and the color scheme is awesome; I can just smell the racing fuel when I look at this model. You've captured the essence of a drag racer perfectly. Nicely done.

Nice build, and a different sort of concept that paid off! Makes for an interesting and fun display, after all not all cars are show cars. Well done.

Beautiful! A very stylish custom, clean and subtle. Very well done.

There was an infamous lawsuit, won by Ford, against one of the news networks for falsely exaggerating the risk of fire. The news people could NOT get one to explode for the cameras, so they actually rigged one to get the effect they wanted, and they got busted HARD for it.

You have a PM!

That came out so well, and what a cool accessory for a truck display! Well done.

Gorgeous model already!

Nice work happening here. It can be very satisfying to whip an old kit into shape, just to challenge yourself and your skills.

Nice work! LOVE that last pic.

Interesting project, and looking good already. The wheels work beautifully, and change the flavor of the car instantly.

Rattitude indeed! The pipes look right on target. Now, about how you managed to get those rear aluminum wheels to rust...?

Very nice work, love the paint fade-away. Well done.

Very nicely done, you made a handsome replica there!

A beautiful build. Have to echo pretty much everyone else; clean style, subtle custom touches, nuanced color combo, wicked engine , etc. This model really has a unique flavor that is very cool! Well done.

Fun stuff; can't wait to see more!

Yep, the entire rear end raises up. One thing I need to mention: I did cut the base of the C-pillars horizontally, to free them from the body. I did this so as not to introduce any binding stresses on the top when the rear is lifted. I just used my razor saw, and glued them back when I had the rear where I wanted it and the glue had dried. Only had to do some minor file work to get them back into shape. I didn't want the top trying to spring back and fight my body work. (Do all this before you glue the rear valance in place.)
