Got rid of the mold lines
Re: Olds 442.
The wheel conversion is going nicely.
Nice fit.

Re: Olds 442.
The Olds is a great looking car and you're off to a good start with it, Arni. Personally, I wouldn't fit the bonnet scoop as I think it spoils the lines - although I'm sure plenty of others would argue that it beefs up the looks

Re: Olds 442.
For me, no! But if I did, I would lower the height of the scoop.
But its your model, do what you want.

Re: Olds 442.
Glad to hear it. Those GM cars have great lines and the scoop looks clunky. Great work here!

Re: Olds 442.
hi arni, glad you decided not to use the bonnet scoop as it spoils the line of the car, the wheels look good as well, looking forward to seeing more of this build and yes i can see the resemblance of a capri
