strangebird22 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Nothing I can say that hasn't been said about this gorgeous build, and i agree with all of it?
Erik Smith Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Jeez, can’t believe I had to crawl back 5 pages to find this model again. This thing should be pinned to the front as an example of craftsmanship. Really. I hadn’t realized how rare this kit is, also, and found this on eBay...empty box sold for $138.50!!! Again, fantastic work on this model, Steve. Worth visiting again. Edited April 7, 2020 by Erik Smith

Imagine the price if it had a kit inside! Again, I have to thank Claes Ericsson for giving me that opportunity! Steve

I also got five months worth of interesting reading, in installments. Oddly enough, while 90% of my stash consists of stuff I’ve gotten off ebay or from US dealers, all three ´68 442’s I’ve had, were found locally in Sweden.
455 Rocket Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Great work! If you ever find another '68 here's a challenge for you. This is my friends '68 Hurst/Olds. He's been the second owner since 1983. Only 515 built.

I feel a little bit better knowing that you have had several bites at the '68 442 apple and didn't trade something to me that you would later regret! It was so much fun building this model and I sincerely owe it all to you! If we had not made that trade, there's a pretty good possibility that I may have never found one of these kits! Steve

I'll fix it up right, now that I know what all of the pitfalls are! Steve Edited April 14, 2020 by StevenGuthmiller
Bob Ellis Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 It's too bad Dr. Olsmobile died! Great job on a terrific model Steve.
