1969 Oldsmobile 442 W30

[Valvefloat]

Here's my latest kit, $12.

I am dechroming the bumpers.

Im going for a What if Oldsmobile did the Rallye 350 monochromatic option on the 442 but other colors.

I'm thinking black but please give ideas.

Thanks

Here's my chassis

I had a long day in the sun and put the rear diff/suspension in before exhaust so...bullets with dumps.

The engine looks ok.

Not sure if I'll add the red fenders.

 

As for body color??? Orange? White? Red?

Red always works on a 442.

Good save on the exhaust.

Final paint no clear

Spice Red

Wheels are poor, I brushed Tamiya smoke on, flat black in pockets.

May try dechroming and go body color.
