S. Svendsen Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I recently finished up this 1964 Olds F-85 drag car. It's built from a resin body and the interior and chassis from a'63 Tempest kit. The paint and graphics are my own design based on what I thought a fictional Hurst exhibition car might have looked like if they had built one before the "Hairy Olds". There are more pics and all the build details on my site at the link. More pics and a build story.
Janne Herajärvi Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Very cool! I like that gold and black color combo
george 53 Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 OH YEAH!!! I gotta agree, THAT came out just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Bernard Kron Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Great idea beautifully done. The graphics are outstanding! (I suggest a visit to the website for the real skinny on Lindsey Oldsmobile .) A strunner in every way!
Dragline Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Killer original design Sven! It truly captures the look of the old Hurst team style. As usual, your models are cleanly built and executed. Bravo sir. Bob

jphillips1970 Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Hi - Great build !!!!! - I'm rebuilding the same kit from AMT - The kit was called "The Streaker" - Great old AWB model kit - Post more pic's if you get time - Thanks for the pic's - Joe
S. Svendsen Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 Great build, Sean! I always thought that kit was one of AMT's more bizarre designs ... why AMT felt that car needed to have the roof whacked off, I'll never know! Still, your model makes it look like it could've been something that was built in 1:1? Hmmm, wonder if the molds for that one still exist? Hello, Round 2? I believe that Model King requested to re-issue this kit and was told the molds could not be found. Hi - Great build !!!!! - I'm rebuilding the same kit from AMT - The kit was called "The Streaker" - Great old AWB model kit - Post more pic's if you get time - Thanks for the pic's - Joe There's a link to more pics at the top.
S. Svendsen Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 S, Beautiful car,love the imagination,how bouts a look see at the power plant,. It has an engine, but I mostly build curbside models so you wouldn't be impressed by it. I hate detailing engines and I don't build models for contests. I really admire those who do build nicely detailed engine bays, but for me, modeling is supposed to be fun. So, I just concentrate on the parts of model building I like.
RodBurNeR Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 way cool idea! I have only seen but a few of these built, thanks for sharing it!
charlzrocks Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Sweet Build! I only got one problem with it............it's not mine!
S. Svendsen Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 My website has moved. Here's a new link if you would like to see more pics of my Cutlass. http://www.svensworldofwheels.com/hurst_crazy_cutlass_page.html
