The way you have that two tone it makes the car look alot lower. Good idea.

Looking good. I've got a soft spot for Olds's.

Just a quick question. They're not mounting the spoiler backwards are they?

Not to take away from the thread but do you or anyone here know who makes the wheels on the chevelle and what style? By the way, I like your build, it's always a good feeling to see your own car go through the paint stage.
Thanks Lenie

I really like the painted 442 & Olds Rocket! Very nice touch!

Eariler in the thread, someone was asking if the wing was backwards... I think it may just be the slope of the deck-lid in comparison to a hard-top? Or possibly because it's a Supreme? I dug up some pictures of a '69 H/O, and it does look like it slopes more, but might be an illusion.

I used the measurements from the 1971 cutlass assembly manual to drill the holes.

724tim

07-09-2008, 06:25 PM

Wow... I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of the photo shop sample pics you posted before. But that looks great! You nailed the stance too.

My only disagreement is how the painted two-tone trim continues straight into the red on the 1/4's. None the less, looks awesome.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/07/vdpmv5-1.jpg

I know what you are saying it took me awhile to like it but it grows on you after awhile just felt that there needed to be something on the quarters to give it more that just the basic two tone look.

thanks
