carbuilder1950 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) This was a great resin body to build. No conversions or customizing. Hardly any cleanup or fitting. Forgot pics of the chassis, but not much to see. Came with the hood closed. No engine. Painted the car with urethane paints and after it was foiled, I covered it with several coats of urethane clear, even over the foil, and then rubbed it out. Always amazes me at how urethane paints have such a depth of color. Edited September 24, 2021 by carbuilder1950 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I like the way you incorporated the checkerboard into the side panels. NO, WAIT!! That's a reflection in that brilliant red! Seriously, this is a fantastic build! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hi David! Great build, and the color combo is perfectly representative of the era. One of our neighbour had one when I was a kid, it it was very similar... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kromolly Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Beautiful car and so nicely represented by your quality build and stunning paint and foil work. Nicely done... thanks for sharing!

Bills72sj Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Sweet ride! I have a resin 56 Olds to build someday. What chassis did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Good to see a tri-five cousin getting some love. The Olds is such a nice looking automobile, and along with the '56 Bel Air, is just made for two-toning. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Very nice, Olds, David - the two-tone paint schemes are what sparked my interest in 50's cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
