OK a problem,due to a long term weakness I just cant get the tyres onto the rims so might need to change them...

[arni]

The wheels.

[arni]

Got rid of the mold lines

[arni]

The wheel conversion is going nicely.


Nice fit.


They look nice methinks.

[arni]

Got the core support,fan shroud and battery etc in.




Side view.


Does my bum look big in this??


Question time,there is a hood scoop included - do I use it or not?

[ShaunW]

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

[celt]

Hi Arni,I prefer the car without the scoop as well,either way its a lovely model.

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

[arni]

Thanks guys,did not use it in the end.

[DavidWomby]

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

[arni]

Thanks David,the lines remind me of a Capri.

[syd-baines]

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

[arni]

Got her sprayed black,not brilliant so will give her a wet coat later.


Going for a matt blue interior,black on black-YAWN...

[arni]

Tried some T cut but will give it more paint in a while.


Also gave the int tub a 2nd coat of blue,once happy with it I Will do the carpets black.
