A Special Treat: 1970 Olds Cutlass S

[richy]

Great work and write up and pictures!

That's so sad when you put $ in to make it awesome looking with a new paint and the work is not well done. It's either the paint it self or it could be it's a to thin of a layer with the base coat color. That seems to not getting the depth in the color. Your work did it look as good as possible though. And awesome your friend is happy and satisfied. That is all that counts.

Thanks Tony! There was one spot on the back bumper that looked so thin, the paint looked to have a white tinge to it. I stayed away from polishing it!

Brings back fond memories of my '72 Cutlass Supreme Coupe. All things considered I'd say you did an outstanding above and beyond the call job.

Thanks kindly Rick! Too bad they're getting more rare.

Awesome work Richy!

A 1970 Rallye 350 was my first Oldsmobile. Still have it.

Jim, that's cool!!

Beautiful Richy.

Thanks kindly Paul!

Damn I wish your pictures would load all the time. 1970-1972 were some of the best years for the mid size GM coupes. Chevelle, Skylark, Cutlass, LeMans, etc. Knowing your work I'm sure it looked incredible when you got done.

Dave, that pisses me off that they don't. They should work for everybody.

Nice save my friend. Bet it was a great ride with your little girl.
About a month ago my friend pulled his Cutlass out and we went on a de-stress cruise. lol

Don, that picture captures the ULTIMATE in de-stress ride!! Those are some big-ass cigars!

Great work on a very cool Oldsmobile! The Rallye 350 was much more unique than a standard Cutlass S. I think 3,547 was magic number of how many rolled off the assembly line in 1970, so they are a pretty rare ride. The special order Sebring Yellow paint and urethaned bumpers really differentiated it from the run of the mill. It also came with the W-25 hood and rear exhaust cutouts, like what you would see on a 442. (The hood was actually an option for the 442, but they all came with the cutout rear bumper). Performance came from the Olds 350, rated at 310 hp.

Always nice to see some Olds love! Again, great work!

Thanks! My father sold Pontiac Buick when I was growing up, so Olds was the competition.

Great work Richy! An excellent transformation for sure! Those wheels came out excellent!

Thanks kindly! I was very proud of how they came out just with that one step.

What a job, Rich!!

I got a great laugh out of your daughter and the crank windows!! Also, the Kiss Alive II 8 track. I most definitely owned that on 8 Track myself.

Thanks Paul! That was my first concert: Kiss at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1976!!
