Reuhkapelti2 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hello again! This time I made some modifications to a AMT Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 2d ht. I cut off the roof and made the cover for the rag top. This model has a real 1:1 car in my town, so I made some other stuff too to make a copy of that vehicle. These things can be seen in the photos, but I can mention some. Wheels were the famous Chevy Rally wheels, that I modified heavily. The mask is different than the original. The trunk lid has that wide chrome thing ( I don't remember the word for it). Tires were changed and they got the white stripes on them. The exhaust tips were changed. The Sun visors were made and an antenna too. The steering wheel was modified. The center console was made, because the transmission is now automatic instead of the original 4 speed manual. Spray painted and some clear coat too. The license plates are covered temporarily. Now some photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Looks good except for the top. I'd shop around and see if you could find a better fitting one. Maybe from the Chevelle kit or 72 Olds kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Nice one! Is that an Elvis hanging under the rear view mirror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhkapelti2 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks everyone! Yes the rag top cover isn't quite perfect, made it myself instead of taking it from some other model box. Mr. Elvis is hanging from the rear view mirror and the antenna has Minnie Mouse ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American 185 Heavy Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Great build and excellent color choice !! Nice to see another soul not mesmerized by the 442 or Hurst. My neighbor had one in a similar color in the early 70's. Was an incredible car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
