Steve_L Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) These are pictures of my 1950 Oldsmobile Custom car. I combined the Revell 1950 Oldsmobile kit with a resin body from Morgan Automotive Detail. Custom features include a chopped top, extensive lowering with a 1950's rake, de-chroming, custom floating grille and bumpers, 1958 Chevy roof scoop, frenched and tunneled headlights, 1960 Corvette taillights, custom wheels and tires from the vintage Revell 1960 Corvette kit and a 1958 Chevy steering wheel. I swapped in a 1969 Olds 442 engine and transmission and added ignition wires and rubber radiator hoses. I finished the build with Spaz Stix candy gold. I learned some things along the way and had plenty of fun with it. Enjoy! Edited December 17, 2014 by Steve_L
Danno Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Nice. Great color for it. Edited December 16, 2014 by Danno
Foxer Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 This is the way they did it in the '50's without tons of cash .. very nice!
thatz4u Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 nice Olds, any problems fitting the 442 engine in it?
my80malibu Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Nice job it's one of the best looking ones I have seen.
Kris Morgan Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Very nice job Stephen. Thanks for posting the pics. The extra customizing you did came out well. And, I love the color. We left the trim on the body for those that wanted something a bit milder than you did. As you have proven, those that want to go the extra step and de-chrome it and add a few more touches can do so.
Custom10 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 That's a sweet looking olds! Gives me some ideas for mine.
