Nazz Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 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.

1972coronet Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The proportions of the doors and roof look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Oldsmobile's version was dubbed Econo-Way , it's a Buick 225 odd-fire through & through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I didn’t know they had engines back then. I will enjoy watching your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Looking good. Scribe lines for the back doors look good👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hay Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazz Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 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.
