- This is a 1967 Olds 442 W30 built mostly box stock from the Lindberg kit. Great kit and highly recommended. I added spark plug wires, heater hoses and decals from Keith Marks on this build.

Real nice buddy, love those old Olds. Heck in 76 that’s what I took my drivers test in , it was a nice car too, belonged to my Aunt and Uncle. But I got my drivers license!
Very cool!
I have the 1997 Lindburg 67 Olds in my stash...i enjoyed this video...Thanks again,great stuff.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great build Raoul! The colour almost looks like butternut yellow or bone white on the video. The interior has that real vinyl appearance, great colour combination. Next to Pontiac metallic blue, my favourite engine paint was Oldsmobile, especially that gold/bronze metallic. A tip I did for applying the separate chomre trim is the cut thin strips of dull scotch tape, paint the body, then carefully remove the tape, knock down the tape edge with fine grade sanding or micro pad and apply the chrome. It worked really good.
Thanks for the tip. I may try that on the Revell 58 Impala. It has a similar build style with the chrome.
Nice Olds, that cream color paint is very period correct. I remember alot of cars with that color.
Yes. Most of them were not pure white back then.
Nice build, Ralph. I will keep watching your site.
Thank you!
Thats a nice build! I like the shine on the paint, looks more like a factory finish.
Thank you!
Really Nice build!!! Can't wait to see what you have for us next weekend. I'll be watching
Thanks!
A family members neighbor has one of these stashed in his garage. I , Always thought how sporty it looks for a large car. NFS!
Your build looks very clean and, I enjoy your commentary and knowledge of the cars.
Very cool! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful build, my friend! I have one in my stash for a "some day" build. Happy weekend 😊✌
Thanks, you too!
Beautiful build! Lindberg made some really great kits. The 1961 Impala's, '64 Dodge 330 and Plymouth belvedere. The Lindberg '66 chevelle is another really nice kit.
Thank you! I have them all that you have listed. Built the 66 Chevelle twice and have a few more of them!
I just received this kit, the Round 2 version. Taking notes on your fantastic build.
Thanks. Enjoy it!
Another beautiful build! I built this one a while back, would love to do it again now that my modeling skills are a lot better
Thank you!
Beautiful build and great information
Thank you!
That is a very nice build. It looks like a great model kit. I’ve got to get one of those. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! It is a good kit.
So neat, I'm doing this kit right now!!
Awesome!
Nice and clean. Great job , Raul.👍
Thank you!
Great looking build Raul, nicely detailed!
Thank you!
That's a beautiful build Raoul!
Thank you!
Hey Raouel! I look forward to seeing your info video every week. Love the history you impart in the videos. Beautiful build! Happy days! 😎
Thank you!
Yes this is a very nice kit! I did a video of mine in blue. You picked the perfect shade of white for this one. I agree with you about the wheels seeming a bit small. I never considered the headlight/taillight difference, at least they fixed that for 68. I thought this was one of the best kit engines out there. But i think where they really missed the boat was not including any options for that wonderful engine. I still want to build one or two more lol
It is a nice kit and I have two more in my stash.
Excellent build! I did a silver one with a black vinyl top as a tribute to my brothers 67’ that I wrecked.😱 still trying to find a 70’ & 72’ at a decent price.
Thank you!
This is great. I have one in my stash to replicate my neighbors car. Really looks like a cool kit. Looking forward to diving into it soon 🤘👍
Have fun!
Thanks for sharing that Ralph. Very nice build. I was not aware of the individual chrome trim pieces in that Lindberg kit. Seems like a mixed blessing, no foil work but heavy on the trim dimensions.
Thank you!
That looks great. I've been wanting to get one of those myself.
Go for it! It's a nice kit.
My only gripe wit this kit was that the air cleaner seemed a bit small. But it sure does build up nicely. I agree with you about the Chrome, too.
Thanks!
Excellent job on the build!!
Thank you!
Nice!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
I'd like to try that 66 442 Convertible someday.. it would make a nice mate to the 67 442 I've already done .
It looks like a cool kit!
Great vid always informational
Thanks for watching my crap! LOL
Awesome job, I like it!
Thank you!
great build.
Thank you!
Very nice build Raoul! I have the same kit in my stash and am looking forward to eventually building it.
Have fun!
Very nice thx for sharing!!!
Thank you!
The first year of the 442 meant 4 speed tranny,4 barrel carb and 2 exhausts. The second year on was 400 Cubic inch Engine,4 barrel carb and 2 exhausts since the 400 engine and an automatic tranny option cane out in year 2(1965)..
Yes, that is correct.
I've actually done one of these in Red and it came out ok . Nowhere near as nice as yours but I'm satisfied with it and I guess that's all that matters ...
As long as you enjoyed the build!
Your greatest eminey is time it seems. Not enough to showcase your work.
Yes. Not enough time to spend on these models!
Raoul, have you seen anyone doing a '65 Olds Starfire in resin? I have one here that I grew up next door to. It has some incredible styling and mechanical features, including its 10.7:1 425 forged-crank engine at 370 rated horsies. I think it would be a killer subject. Let me know.
Sounds cool. I don't know of any in scale.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler OK, thanks!
This is a beautiful build! I like the 67 a lot better than the 66 especially the front end for the most part. I have this very same kit yet to be built. It will be black with a red interior and will have red line tires. After you prime and painted body, did you have some trouble sticking on the chrome side trim into the body? Because the thickness of the paint made it harder to stick the trim on into the depressions on the body where the chrome trim goes on. Other modelers suggested to sand the back of the chrome strips into a narrow "V" so in order to fit on the body much better. Hope this helps! By the way, looking at 1990s hot rod magazines, the motor was a kind of copper colored not gold if you're a stickler for detail? The other thing is when I brought this model when it first came out, it had a flat hood, a manufacturing mistake that Linberg made and soon later they made an announcement in SAE magazine that they would send out free correct louvered hoods to all modelers that bought the early kits with the problem. Giving the company your mail address for a free hood was all it took then. Hope you find this interesting stories about this model. Again you have done a beautiful job on this 442
Thank you! I'll have to check my other kit for the hood. I didn't know that. I did however preorder and buy 2 of the Revell 68 Mustang GT fastback kits. The first batch had 67 Shelby interiors! Revell did the same. You had to send in the UPC from the box. Then they sent the correct interior.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler T hats right, I forgot to tell you that Lindberg needed a UPC code off of the model box in order to receive a free 442 hood. It was so long ago I forgot to mention this to you
Hey, how can I get a Keith marks set of stripes like the ones on your 442?

Hey... where can I get a set of those pinstripes like you have on your 442? I need a set in red for my project!( replica of my car!)
Keith Marks has them. public.fotki.com/mofobow/oldsmobile/4-4-2/67_4-4-2/
Probably Olds just wanted to be different lol 😆!
Maybe!
Nice build! That kit annoyed me on several fronts. The wheel/tire combo is too small and the grille texture is tunneled too far back. I had real ones so the goods were a big seal for me. The AMT '66 kits are far better.
Thanks! I agree that the wheels look more like 13s. I have a few of the 66 kits but fore some reason have not built one but the convertible looks awesome. The 66 W30 is a very rare car and the model kit has the moldings and I was unsure if I should remove them or not. I like the full dress loaded ones but could not find a nice example of one.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler the '66 4-4-2,was available in the various trim levels of Cutlass. I had a silver blue Supreme post coupe when I was in the Air Force, it had all the side trim and a painted white roof, buckets & console, pretty car and rare so of course I ruined it. I really appreciate your efforts here, you've inspired me to raise my own build quality. Good on ya!
Thanks!
