Paul Hettick Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 This one was built for a friend as a replica of one his dad had bought new. It started out as a convertible resin kit. Not sure who did the kit 'cause it's the only one I have come across. 1
Bucky Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Very nice replica, Paul! Where did you get the roof section for this build?
Ron Hamilton Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Paul, The resin kit was from F & F Resin. I remember it because I almost bought one at an NNL from Ed Fluck, who did the original master. Your build is gorgeous, as usual. Edited January 15, 2019 by Ron Hamilton 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Wow. Gorgeous. And you very rarely see the full sized '64, even in full scale. (I have a real '63 Dynamic 88 convert, the car I drove in HS, I'll be starting on soon).
Carmak Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Very nice build! More accurate than the black 1:1 64 convertible sold by Mecum last weekend, all of the tail panel detail was missing on that one.
MrObsessive Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I had to do a double take to see that this WAS a '64 and not the ever present '63! Really super nice Paul and this reinforces my thinking about getting things that you like while they're available, because one never knows for how long it can be had. 5 hours ago, Ace-Garageguy said: Wow.

For whatever reason, I can still remember the car that a teacher's assistant I had when first starting school (mid '60's) owned. It was a triple white '63 Dynamic 88 convertible. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I can remember her parking it right against the window where our classroom was located. At times the top was down which is why I remember what color the interior was. Funny how car memories can stick in your mind!
W-409 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 That is a beautiful Oldsmobile, another one of those rare subjects that I'd like to see built more often. Again, excellent work with the conversion. Nice paint job and sharp BMF work on the chrome trim finish it off. Great job.

gbt216 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Wow, that is a beautifully done replica and conversion from the original convertible F&F kit! This is most inspirational as I, too, have the kit and plan on Aqua Mist code Q, though I'll keep it as a convertible. gt
Zoom Zoom Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Looks superb, and personally I like the look of the '64 over the '63 with the big swath of trim down the middle of the body, looks much better on the lower body. Never knew this resin existed!
dimaxion Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Quite a beauty . I have this in resin too . F&F kit . Excellent replica . The color is so right on this build . Thanx
