BHarrison Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Just finished this one today with the exception of the fender emblems I need to paint after final cleanup. It was converted from an original Johan 1961 Oldsmobile 4 Door Hardtop. The kit chrome is original and the kit glass is original. The color is Artesian Turquoise. Thanks for looking!

Monty Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Nice job on that conversion! Great color, too. Is the paint Testors, MCW or Scale Finishes?
Flatearthman Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 nice conversion, but loose the bling wheels it just aint right. excelent build and nice paintwork
BHarrison Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 The paint is Testors Lacquer. The wheels however are a matter of opinion and one my dad and I hash out on a regular basis. I also do 1:1 street rods and customs and sell wheels. He's all 14/15" Gray Five spokes and I sell way more 18/20" combos than anything. I wanted the look of the Air Bagged early sixties X Frame GM stuff we see at NSRA and Goodguys shows. That said, I find wheel discussion to be amusing these days and its something that to me makes this hobby cool that we can all build em a way we like and the next guy builds the same car but all together different. God Bless America! lol
Beavis Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 those arent bling wheels whatsoever, i absolutely love the style you pull out of this classic cruiser, awesome work
Guest Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Super sharp Oldsmobile! I love the color and the wheels! Great looking work Bryan!
Wagoneer81 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I think 18 and 20" wheels look fine, when they're properly tucked under like these are. Very nice work, I love the styling of these old Olds...
a/gass Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 im not a fan of big rims - but it all looks great.
PARTSMARTY Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 i just don't get it ,i looked and looked and looked and all i can see is 1 totally awesome model-period!!congrats-your ideas rock!!
Greg Pugh Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I dig the wheels too. There are certain wheels that just don't jive with certain cars and can seem out of place. These look great on this particular car and don't even get me started on the car itself.......
Nate Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I agree, fantastic build! Aren't all wheels just bling when you get down to it? Just something to add to the aesthetic of the car, especially when talking about about a model? Think about it - baby moons, dog dishes, sombreros, beauty rings, 5 spoke mags, wire wheels, etc. it's all about style...
Ryan S. Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Beautiful model. Very well done. Great color choice and stance. I'm cool with the wheels, to me they don't look out of place.
Camshaft Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Car looks absolutely fantastic, I love the colour, the subject, AND THOSE WHEELS! Anyone who thinks Torq-Thrusts are bling must have their lugnuts over-torqued or somethin'.
Dave42 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 More of the same here, I think it looks beautiful, all of it. I particularly like the stance and the trim work. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Later,
351 cleve Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Good Job Bryan!!! I'm sure I will be seeing ( and competeing with it ) in the near future. I like the BIG wheels!
george 53 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Man did that come out NICE!!!! Don't see the mags as bling , cause they go with the theme of the car(Nice street ride). You did a GREAT job on the BMF! Man this came out NICE! So nice I hadta say it twice!
Badluck 13 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 WOW!!!!,I hate to say that I normally do not like that wheel/tire combo,~BUT~ I must admit it really works with that car in my opinion.......and again its all just a matter of opinion of who likes what....me?...I really dig the finished product !!!
DumpyDan Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 SWEET! That paint is............POW!.......Great! Looks Nice
bbowser Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I too usually don't like hoops, but they look great on this. Excellent job!
Dominik Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Excusing the Bling wheels , FABULOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver Oh yess Ed! thats what i thought while looking at the pictures! Bling wheels on a coooool car!
