customsrus Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Here is another older build of mine. This is the Oldsmobile F-88 concept car. Took the 53 Corvette body and added a 57 corvette front end. Grille is a narrowed 58 T-bird. All wheel arches have been reshaped. Extended rear fenders and tail light housing, with tail lights made from red sprue. Relocated gas filler. Scratch built side trim and rear bumper. Most of the interior is scratch built. Engine is from the 66 Olds 442 with a scratch built air cleaner..
TFchronos Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Beautiful car, wish it made it to production.
slusher Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Fantastic build. So clean and great workmanship...
charlie8575 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Very nice conversion of one of the more interesting show cars of the 1950s. Charlie Larkin
sjordan2 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Spectacular piece of work Wish the hood could fit better. Edited December 29, 2014 by sjordan2
TooOld Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Excellent conversion John , you nailed the look perfectly ! And the interior details are perfect too !
Lunajammer Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 That's a lot of work. Not just the scratch building but even opening all the hinges. Beautiful work.
Ramfins59 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 John, that is a beautiful looking car. Great job.
Danno Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Excellent job, John! It took a lot of work to capture the F88 that well! Stunning.
John Goschke Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Very impressive conversion work and great finish!
DumpyDan Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 That look great, I like these concept cars, such talent
caapa Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Hi, I`m a conceptcar fan and this is a wonderfull model. Did you prepare for the conversion a blueprint (side, front, rear, top view) of the car ? If yes please contact me I would be interested.
