I believe my hubby is getting a '74 olds cutlass for me for my b-day. His buddy owns it, was going to strip it and use it for a race car. But since I've shown an interest hubby is going to basically get it for me. It's in good condition, solid body, little to no rust. 350 4bbl rocket(I'm excited for that)!!! My question is this. I want to do alot of the restoration myself, but want to do this right, where are some good resources to go to for info on body work? Also, I'm not sure I want to keep the same stock color(pale yellow) but what were some other color's for that year????? I'll send it out for the paint job, and the engine work me and hubby will do most of it. What are some things you would recommend for body/engine upgrades????
