yellowsportwagon Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) This is a AMT 66 442 kit. I lowered it and built the under hood bars from scratch. Has PPP wheels and tires. Intake from a 69 Hurst Olds. Carb from an AMT NASCAR kit. Radiator from an old Johan Torino. Homemade radiator hoses. Deacals are from Dave Van! Still need to add rear #s and a couple odds and ends.

bbowser Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Very cool! What did you use for the rear bumper moldings?

If you are talking about the little fairings in the sides they are aluminum. I cut one of those cheap aluminum roasting pan lids up. Costs 2 bucks and lasts forever.
MarkJ Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Excellent build, Tim. Sits just right . Paint and decals are perfect. Love the gold engine. As usual, up to your high standards of skill and accuracy.
Belugawrx Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Very Nice ! I am seriously looking at my older stock builds as donors now..
Lunajammer Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 This looks really cool. I wasn't familiar with this kind of Olds in NASCAR. I quite like.

I am pretty sure you could run an Ambassador from AMC in 1966 and it or a Rebel for the 1967-69 seasons. Although I think only Larry Hess' #44 was the only AMC ever run in '66 those American Motor Cars were eligible. Edited March 8, 2019 by JustJake More details and further information needed
yellowsportwagon Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 I’m sure you are right but I don’t know if any AMC’s were run in 67.
JustJake Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I am sure you are right that no sporty Ramblers were run in '67. According to the rule book they were eligible is all I am pointing out.

Old Coyote Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Beautiful build of a very unique subject. Well done.
Wm David Green Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 A superb build, I didn't know that the 1966 Olds' was used for a NASCAR racer.
