My 1964 Olds F-85 V6

[Nazz]

  These are pics of my latest project. My first car. A 1964 Olds F85 4 door. I am using parts from the "66 Chevelle wagon, chassis and engine bay. the engine will be out of the Buick GSX kit. The body is a resin one , as will be the interior. More to come.

 

Thanks for looking.

Nifty ! May I propose a suggestion ? The 225 V6 is available in the MPC Jeeps, IIRC. Can't get any more authentic than the ol' Dauntless itself.

The proportions of the doors and roof look good.

 Here are  pics of valve covers, fan and rad and shroud .

Was it Buick dauntless or Fireball V6?

"Six to one..." . Even though Oldsmobile's version was dubbed Econo-Way , it's a Buick 225 odd-fire through & through.

Here are a couple of pics of the engine so far.

I didn’t know they had engines back then.  I will enjoy watching your build.

Looking good. Scribe lines for the back doors look good?

Awesome! I’ll be watching because I might like to build one too. I rode to school every day of my senior year in high school in my best friend’s 64 Olds F-85 4 door. That was 1994-1995 so it was pretty wore out by then and bent on every corner, but that car brings back memories.

A small update on the F85 build. Got the under dash cassette nearly done and the ends for the shifter arm and signal arm. Also, the air cleaner.  

The speakers and c deck are photo  etch with styrene on the back,  and the other parts are scratch built, and sprayed with Alclad chrome.
