Nice wagon!

Welcome Tom and I think that's THE COOLEST WAGON I'VE EVER SEEN DUDE !!!!

      Ooops
   For got  this..

Hi All,

A little update on the 442 Wagon. Have been having a real rough time with the back end making the tail lights bumper and gate, to look the way I want..Spent much much much time on their - is coming along -- but decided to work on the Gate..
Added round stock and some flat sheet stock to give it some , curvature / body contour .. Let me know what you all think...

  Hi to All..

    Just a small update on the wagon..Have not done a lot lately but here is  a  little progress.. Have done some more work on the Tailgate..The Orig Model had the rear bumper-taillight housings-and a script than ran from one side to the other ( actually on the deck lid ) that was blackened out in the center with the word OLDSMOBILE in the center of the molding that were chrome letters -- all attached together.. Needless to say I cut apart all of it and decided to try and use the Oldsmobile Script/Molding on the tailgate ..
      Hence a pic of the new Molding /script attached to the Gate..

   Also tried to capture a pic of the gate part way down showing the Glass.. Enjoy..

   Any  Comments  Suggestions  or  chit chat are strongly encouraged....

        Thanks Much       Tom                     

    Thought I would add a Quick shot of the motor---not done but moving along.. Will probably redo headers with solder to make look as though alumina -coated.. 

      Thanks    Tom

Ooops


This is what i mean about the back of the existing roof.

Hi All,
 
  Have been in a slump for a little while,but recently started back on the project
basically started wet blocking the body and doing some touch-ups that were
needed on some of the body work  . I did decide however Not to do the Vista Roof---would leave that for another project..
  Have also moved on to the front of the car with  changes I had originally planed for it..First off is the Hood..The original Hood had the center section
(where the louvers are ) recessed. I made it raised instead, pics to follow..
  The question I have is this---Should I place the Louvers on top of the newly raised section or ( as shown in pics ) raise the entire section (i cut from the Hood) that holds the louvers..Any feed back on that would be eagerly awaited
as I am not sure which way to go yet..
   Second change for the front end is in the Bumper/Grill Area--although am still in planning stages for that, trying to finalize my idea..
  Anyway ,,  thanks to all... Inc are a couple of pic,s as i mentioned earlier..

Hey thanks Beast.
May have to really think about that wagon bracket race , if it isn't too soon next year...
Whats you thoughts on the Hood ? Should I leave the center section just raised as in pic one or add another small raise with louvers still on - as pic two..
Thanks Tom

I agree in the first pic , this is looking great can't wait to see it finished gonna be kool

Think I need a little more work on the very front--seams a little fat from tip of hood to top of raised area..Thought of the louvers because they were Original Equipment on the 67 442 and kind of wanted to incorporate into new hood design, but am liking the no louver look.. Needed to be primed for me to see it better..

Thanks All Tom

Lookin really good!
