Hey, you nailed it, as in finished it and really nailed it!! I grew up with a friend who's dad was an Olds nut, and that car of yours would pass in his book anyday...mine too! Nice job! I can hear that rocket motor rumbling at idle now....
Wish they'd kit a regular cutlass{71-73} with the W30 and W60 packages.

The Olds turned out great, Jesper. I think the color is superb! It makes me want to pull the AMT '69 4-4-2 out of the stash and give it a go.

Bob - not sure what you mean by a "regular" Cutlass with the W-packages. IIRC, the W-30 was only available on 4-4-2s from '66-'72. Also, I'm drawing a blank on the W-60. I remember the W-30, W-31, and even the W-32, but I don't recall a W-60.
But I do agree a new kit of the last years ('70-'72) of the "real" Olds A-body Cutlass would be a good thing. The Jo-Han kit, while great for nostalgia value, is nowhere close to modern kit standards.
