Body
The body is a 1970 Cutlass S Holiday Coupe
I added the OAI hood and rear wing
The hood is an original 1970, the wing is a reproduction of the original style (what wings are supposed to look like by the way)
Color is 1994 Dodge Viper yellow in Omni single stage urethane (cheap and durable)
The hard core Olds people will notice a few body parts are from a 1971 Cutlass, simply because they were already on the car or easier to find.
