1975 ish Oldsmobile Cutlass

[Mattilacken]

Made a quick build of this original snapper I got on a second hand site like the e bay. Paint is Tamiya Gun Metal with tamiya clear and painted stripes. Nothing fancy and I did not even make new holes for the wheel axles but it sits ok. A bit to high for my taste but looks period correct. 

thanks for watching any comments are welcome.

To show the stripes better.

Looks great Anton,  I do like the Colonnade body style.

Looks good, I like it! I'm partial to any Olds Cutlass though, owning a '72 and a '74 in my younger days.

I agree looks marvelous.

Anton! How are you sir? Another great looking build. I sure wish these would be produced again… Good looking cars. That colour looks nice and the subtle stripes really make it. Nicely done! I NEED one of these to build.

Cheers, Steve

Thanks! They are cool looking, I think the small spoiler helps to finish it of.

Thanks Steve! I am good thank you, busy with my new position at work, family and all summer projects? and you? Thanks m8, as you guess it could be lower but my Formel 1 replay yesterday and the 10 last minutes of Indy 500, and a Swedish win! Did only stretch so far ? yes I wish so to, as well as the Chevelle of the same era. It’s the same color as the Supra but with more clear, looks almost black in manny lights. I was biding on a second one not long ago but lost it. ?

Thanks! It took some effort to make it look god, had some bad luck with the black for the steipes and a mishap with the air brush.  But turned out ok with some polish. ?

I usually leave mirrors off because most end up back in the box on shelf.

That looks good, I really like the subtlety of the striping.

[David G.]

Looks great! It reminds me of a mild contemporary customization.

The stance looks right, kind of like new shocks tires with the custom wheels.

Thanks! I followed the body lines and looked a bit at the older ones to se what they had done before. These are much more subtitle as you say, much due to the dark color.
