JS0007 Project Cars #3 of 4 – 1970 Oldsmobile 442

I chose this car for a few reasons; A yellow/black Olds 442 was one of the first cars I ever kept in the package in 1991. Then in 1993 A red/black one was used in Demolition Man. I’ve made a terrible model of this car in 1/24 scale, so it just felt right to include it in this series.

Again, the car isn’t in too bad of shape, it just needs that final push to be a show car again.

Some minor bondo/primer spots along the lower quarters. Nothing unexpected.

Well, then there’s this door. It looks like the original paint is underneath so why with the primer? What happened?

Missing a headlight, shouldn’t be too much trouble to fix that. More light primer areas.

Little bit of rust-through on the trunk lid there. Surface rust or is it worse than that? Elbow grease or checkbook, your choice.
