Olds 442 - "Modeller's Block"

[Shelby 427 1965]

Hi everyone!

So after suffering modeller's block for a long time, I finally got around to doing something. This was just a case of finishing something I had started. Unfortunatly, many pieces in the kit were missing, so I decided to go for a cheap race-on-sunday rat rod dragster look than a showroom fresh car, like I would've liked.

Modifications:

Chrome Trim removed

Single Bucket Seat interior

Tamiya Alfa Romeo front tires

One headlight removed in favour of an air vent

Same for indicators and number plate slot

I just wanted to get something FINISHED! Colour is primer grey and matte black.

Thanks for lookin', all comments much appreciated

I like it, but you better have those ball joints checked!

Hahah, I just think that dragsters look awesome with camber under the front wheels. Don't know what it is about it, just looks right to me!

LOL! Too much drag fighting all that camber. Looks ragged, just like you planned for.

Nice camera work!

I really like it but that is way too much front wheel camber.

with a little less camber and the chrome dulled down a little, those shots on the concrete could almost pass for 1:1. I like it and your photos are really good too.

With the camber dialed in it looks just like the car I had in high school.....right down to the mismatched wheels!

Brings back memories.

Nice!

Model looks good . . . "camber" does not.

Well, if the only complaint is something that boils down to personal preference then I'm happy

Thanks for all the comments everyone, really appreciate it!
