george 53 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 WoW! Nice conversion. I don't know if Olds actually made this body style, but you sure did it well. Looks good ta me!
BHarrison Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 They did it was just so rare to see a stripped down Olds that most have never seen one. Buick did the same in 61.
Guest Johnny Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 WoW! Nice conversion. I don't know if Olds actually made this body style, but you sure did it well. Looks good ta me! They did! My grandpa's sister had one!
charlie8575 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 The two-door sedan body is very cool, and nicely done. Thought of getting it cast? Charlie Larkin
Kris Morgan Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Boy, That's lookin good. Can=t wait to see it in paint.
exnyman Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 It may not be dead on but it sure is pretty close! looks great! Nice to see something out of the mainstream.
george 53 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Heck, never haveing seen one, it looks spot on ta me!!!
Maindrian Pace Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Our neighbors in Boston (Newton Center) had one in the late '60s, it was blue/blue, dog dish caps, and three on the tree. Very interesting Olds that got no attention at all in those days. -MJS
BHarrison Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 It got color today! Artesian Turquoise inside and out with two additional shades of green inside....

I'm in Newtonville regularly for lodge, and use Newton Highlands' Green Line stop when I have to go into Boston. I live out in Marlborough. Ben- nice pick for the color on that car. I can't get into the rolling stock, but I like the rest of it. Charlie Larkin Edited October 4, 2011 by charlie8575
MrObsessive Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Nice! Reminds me a lot of this one................... Since I'll be turning 50 next week, I should be doing some type of '61 car! Maybe down the road..........................
bobss396 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 As the previous owner of a '62 Starfire and a '64 88, I'm liking what I see! Bob
LAWDOG Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Really like the old cars with modern wheels and tires, color looks great and clean. Edited October 5, 2011 by LAWDOG
Eshaver Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Definitely a car that's not seen just everywhere . Course I like to be different too. Ed Shaver
jeffs396 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 VERY nice! Wish you would have had a mold made prior to painting
BHarrison Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 VERY nice! Wish you would have had a mold made prior to painting Had an offer for that the day I painted it. I hate to be down for a while though since I intend to take this one to Atlanta in November. I have one more Post coming though and already have an agreement on a mold for it.
Sixties Sam Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Good to see such an unusual subject modeled so nicely. Great work! Sam
BHarrison Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Had a mishap with the clearcoat and had to repaint the car. I scuffed the basecoat, then put one more coat of the base. The car has been cleared now but not buffed. Interior is finished and all the car need now is polished and bare metal foiled. Also I had a change of wheel type. It will be getting the wheels shown in these pics.
