60s era Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Hi Everyone.. Have not posted here in a while ..Have been working on my latest project. It's a 50 Olds , a little on the unusual side. Tilt Font End, Suicide Doors , Opening Trunk, Tubbed, Custom Interior, Much Much Scratch building, Lime Ice , Ivory Interior, W-43 Blown Olds Engine. ( W-43 is a Engine Olds made back in the 70s but never sold it to the Public-it can be found if you Google it - for those interested). I recently won Best of 50s Decade on another forum, Jerrys Cherrys.. Here is a few pics .. Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did building it..
TooOld Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Unusual is very good ! Great looking Olds Tom , maybe you can post a few more pics ?
1930fordpickup Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Very cool. Love the Hemi headed Olds. To bad Olds did not make this an engine for the public.
60s era Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks Guys, Appreciate the comments.. 1930 Ford Pickup: Yea , that would have been a killer Engine. Stock it was suppose to be around 440 Hp, image hoping it up.. TooOld : Heres a few more..
Ramfins59 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Great looking car...... If you don't mind a couple of comments,,,,,, It looks like your windshield is not seated correctly, leaving a slight gap at the top. You could use some Bare Metal Foil for the window and body trim. The taillights could use some Tamiya Clear Red paint on the lenses. It doesn't look like you installed the clear headlight lenses. I'm not being picky here, just trying to give you some constructive comments to help you make your model better.
Silver Foxx Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Well done , a lot of real nice work in this .
slusher Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Fantastic looking Olds Model. Very impressive work...
Mister Twister Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Great looking build...Love the color on it.
Stray Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Rather radical! Are you planning on BMFing the trim still?
60s era Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Thank You All for your comments, they are Highly appreciated .... Ramfins59 : thank you much for your comments , and yes you are correct with your observations . I was really pushing things to finish in time for the deadline of the contest.. I will be correcting those things to Improve on the build. I was the last one to get into the contest- just barely made it in time..So many new ( to me ) things I did on this build it really ate up my time, an a little of my Wife's patience LOL.... Stray :: Yes, I plan to BMF , sometime ... Thanks Again to All who responded , for you great comments....Makes my Day...... Edited April 11, 2015 by 60s era
w451973 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Sweet. I was trying to get someone to make a W-43 and cast it but had no luck. I started making one and gave up because I don't have the skills. I'm gonna try again.
60s era Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Thank You :: Helix and W451973.. W ; PM sent...
