It seems that I have not posted my build of the '71 Olds 442. Here are some pictures so far. Another color change as I seem to do this quite often. The color is Tamiya TS-21 Gold instead of Tamiya TS-43 Racing Green. This is close to the color of a 1972 Olds 442 that I saw being rebuilt on TV's Garage Squad S2 E1. I haven't decided on using the white or black stripes yet. The chassis is complete, but the engine needs to be finished.

Thanks Mike! I just hope that the paint doesn't get too reflective.

Thanks Mike! I have to clean up the wheel backs and use some Superglue on the tires and wheel back fitment. I am using the AMT White Letter Tires in two different sizes. F60-15 in the front and L60-15 in the rear.

I haven't worked on the 442 in a while so I did a mock up to see where I am at. The interior needs decals so that is next on my to do list. Here we go! I've heard A LOT of good things about these kits Mike and your build here is a true testament to that fact. Details and paint are looking GREAT so far buddy. |
