espo Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Like the color, sort of a Candy Apple Red look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 I started the body decals this morning. they all seemed to lay down nice. I haven't decided on the wheels yet, for my taste the styled steel wheels are a bit circus wagoned. I might use magnum 500 wheels instead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 I made up a set of magnum wheels from the 68 charger kit for comparison purposes. for my taste I think they look better with this particular color. I also have the engine coming along pics of it later. thank you all for your input. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 pretty much done with the air cleaner and engine. test fit for photos and started painting the interior. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cifenet Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Great work on red/gold over coat, that isn’t an easy task. The engine is also looking very good, fantastic progress so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Bugmeister Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The colour looks great, nice work so far! In the Oldsmobile world, those Magnum wheels would be SS1 (Super Sport 1) wheels. Correct for the car and definitely a sportier look 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
