Nice clean build!  I'm thinking of building this kit as a plain, non-Hurst Cutlass.  Probably as a stocker, or a slightly beat-up and weathered "work car." I have a stock (flat) hood.  Can an Olds expert tell me what else I need?  Grilles, and maybe a set of wire wheel covers?  Model Car Garage sells a nice photo-etch set with the grilles/emblems for an '83 to '85 Cutlass, I think.  Thanks for any help.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. This was a very enjoyable kit to build. One good thing is you can glue the front and rear bumper covers on before paint and still slip the body onto the chassis easily, instructions call for there installation after mounting to chassis.

Great paint and clean work on the decals, those couldn't have been easy.

Decals were definitely a pain. I had to buy a second kit just for one inch of the upper stripe that I inadvertently cut, sometimes I just don't know what I'm thinking as I build.

Great looking Olds.  I remember seeing these driving around when they came out.  I have always liked these cars.  Yours really looks the part.

Did you have to adjust the stance on it at all?

No, I didn't do anything to it. It was a nice kit to build for sure.

Thanks for all the kind comments!
