Irvin Arter Jr. Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I am not an Olds guy but; I bought one on a whim. Nice tooling minimal clean up on the body. I was missing a few trees on mine but, Revell send out my missing stuff promptly. I am using 57 Corvette wheels and tires with the "ARTERAKE" added Bob Dudek side pipes, Spots, shaved hood,trunk and doors. I don't like the way the fender trim spreads into the headlights so I shaved it back to looks like it stops on the fender. I also shaved off the taillight holes and will be using a small taillight on the rear. This will be a curbside car no motor. Thats it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Loving your build more and more ! What kind --if any-- of detailling did you do to those gorgeous Corvette wheel covers ? From what I can see , it looks like a red outline (emulating a red-painted wheel underneath ?) and some dull painted recesses . Thanks !
