thought i'd share a couple pics of the 68 442 we're currently working on. it's getting close. i got the front end sheetmetal painted last friday. still have to spray the insides of the fenders and the w-36 stripes before the stuff can go on. it won't be long to completion after that.

 

Wow I love your 68 great job.

 

Very nice! Like the color!

 

That's going to be a neat car! Nothing better than a '68.....unless it's a '69, or a '70, or a '67, or a '66, or a.............AN OLDSMOBILE!

Love the color.

Looks like a very well done car. I really like the tire choice.

 

Very nice indeed, may I ask why the red engine?

 

what is the color is it ? what headers are them? and yes nice tire combo

 

being as though we but a toronado motor in a 68, we kinda felt like painting it like a 68 hurst. no other reason than that.

 

the headers are hedman. the color is amber gold. it's a modern color. i can't think of the code right now off the top of my head.

 

Nice, my favorite year!

 

it's gettin' there...............

 

Good job,clean.I like the red engine.

 

Looks a lot like the 442 in the '68 GM promo photos. Nice.

 

Amber gold! I like it! What brand? single stage or bc/cc? Looking really good!

 

the gold is dupont chromabase base/clear, and i used dupont chromapremier s.s. to do the stripes.

 

Very nice looking! I see that the stripe is in the right location, was it a factory W36 car?

 

well, she's all done.

Sweet

Lookie what some one gave me.

 

Looks damn good!! well done. Jamesbo, what did someone give you? attachment won't open for me.

 

Very Nice Job!!! I am putting a 69 455 in my 69 vert and I am also painting the engine red , yours looks spectacular....

 

God help, that is a beautiful car. Ya know what would really set it off? a set of repro Hurst wheels. Shame those are so expensive. Looks real nice with those period correct Cragars too.

Take me back to 1968!

 

very sharp looking! nice job!

 

That is so clean! One of the nicest I have seen and I bet it is fast.

 

Congrats on getting the Olds finished, looks great
