slammedi'am Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) When the first Olds kit came out,picked one up and came up with this...(also know to me as the brown turd lol) The car actually had a lot of flaws (my part) that I wasnt happy with...So when the new kit came out with the custom stuff,I grabbed one of them...My plan is to build a better version of the first build with a lil bit more of what I wanted to do.. Got the body prepped,sanded painted and cleared. Got the body wet sanded and polished out Body foiled Almost done with the engine And one door panel so far Edited August 17, 2014 by slammedi'am
Wonderbread Kustomz Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Shane that's coming out nice! Love the wheel choice...
my80malibu Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 The Engine looks fantastic. As does the rest of the car. I do think it would be better, with the Gray wheel spokes, versus the chrome. Just adds a little more Pizzaz.
DeeCee Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 That first one is sweet, and the second attempt is going to be special i reckon, the paint is beautiful mate.
slammedi'am Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks everyone...Iam actually thinking agains the big wheels on this one...The gray spokes is just a set of wheels I use for mock up....Working on getting the motor in and the suspension setup... If all goes well,I should have some pics of what Ill be using for wheels and tires later on
slammedi'am Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 Got the motor finished up today.. And pretty much decided on these wheels and tires... Wanted to do something like this on the first one but didnt have any... I think it flow better than the bigger wheels since its kinda old school..Got the suspension done and motor in also after this pic
DynoMight Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Wow that's cool! Maybe paint the spokes a flat light gray? That would define the spokes of the wheels a little better. Again, wow!
slammedi'am Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks and I did think about that but was up in the air on it still
donb Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Looks great so far Shane -- Is that body color root beer?
slammedi'am Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks Color is GM Cordova brown metallic
slammedi'am Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Got the chassis pretty much done.... And toned down the wheels
wayne swayze Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 This is a lovely build! The wheels look 100% better now! The chassis appears beautifully finished also. Really an extremely appealing model!
microwheel Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 You picked a perfect color for this build that's for sure. Nice work!
slusher Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Chassis looks excellent and perfect wheels and tires...
slammedi'am Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks everyone...Glad I decided to tone the wheels down some
