customsrus Posted December 29, 2014 Share 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
