yellowsportwagon Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Another bad actor that’s been sitting a few years. Today is get this old BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH done day. Resin kit I paid too much for. With Zimmerman wheels slammed low 1
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Very cool! I can't say that I like the wheels, but to each his own. To me those large diameter wheels make a car, whether a model or a 1:1, look like a toy. Maybe that's the intention. Steve

Steve I used to agree with you but my tastes have change since I realized how much better my1:1 Montego GT looks with 17 and 18 inch rims as compared to the 14s it came with.

As I said, everyone has his own sense of what looks good. Steve

I guess its like popcorn, some like it salty, some like it sweet. I like both, actually and to me, this Olds looks like a large bowl of vanilla ice cream with a lot of chili flavoured popcorn on top of it, YUMMY!
Plowboy Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 That's a nice looking Olds! I like the stance and the wheels. Colors are spot on also. I have a JoHan Olds in the stash. But, don't recall exactly what year it is.
Classicgas Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Generally I'm with Steve on wheels but for some reason they work on it. Maybe it's the gold tone in the center. Very nice build.
larman Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Nice job! Great colors and stance. The wheels work great on this build too.
espo Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Quote Beautiful looking build, I like the color and the stance. The wheels really make it look aggressive. I don't know what all you had to do with the casting to make it look this good but it was worth it.

I don't know what all you had to do with the casting to make it look this good but it was worth it. The casting was really pretty nice. A couple pinholes and the roof was slightly warped. A little hot water and some putty thrown at it was all I did. The mold release was real tough to get off of this one.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Very sharp! Always liked the white and gold Hurst/Olds schemes!
Bills72sj Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 I really like the paint scheme AND the wheels. Great stance too. I have the decals for a Hurst Olds of that vintage but no kit to put them on. Back in the mid 80's I street raced a 1:1 in St. Louis. I beat him by a car length or so.
drodg Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 I remember that resin kit and the only one I ever saw built I think was by Mike Hanson years ago. I always thought the car looked right and you have done an excellent job on it. Is it a Scale Equipment Limited kit?

I had my own decals made for it too in a gold that looks almost reflective. Edited February 24, 2020 by yellowsportwagon

drodg Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Good for you. Thanks, so great to see the build.
