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!

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

Super sharp Oldsmobile! I love the color and the wheels! Great looking work Bryan!

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....... :wub:

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...

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'.

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.

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! :lol::D:):P;)

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 !!!
