Not a lot to see at this point. The engine is complete less a carb. I will try to take some pix of it. The body has a ways to go but it's pretty solid! It just needs lots of TLC.

Looks like a solid car to start with.
So is it an F85, Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme or 442? What's your engine/trans. combo? Bench or bucket seats? Sorry for some many questions. I picked up a 67 Cutlass Supreme two months ago. And had a 66 Cutlass years ago. So I'm happy to see someone else starting a similar project. Don |

It's a Holiday Cutlass (2 door hardtop) with a 455 bored to 30 over...all kinds of goodies in the engine. I have about 4 k in it and still need a carb. Tranny is M20, posi rear end. It has a split bench seat.
I am thinking hard about a sleeper look, steel wheels and poverty caps. My paint color of choice at the moment is a gun metal grey. What are your plans for yours? |

67 in Pewter
Here's what mine turned out like using GM 382E. I think it's a PPG base coat/clear coat--called Light Pewter or Pewter Metallic--something like that.
Not exactly Gun Metal Gray--but same idea. Good luck on your project--still finishing up interior on this one. NOTE: First attempt at posting pics, bear w/ me if it's messed up -jeff |

Mine's a 67 Cutlass Supreme. I'll stick with the 330 Jetaway for now. May step up to a 350/350.
Interior is black with the split bench w/ fold-down arm rest. If I keep it I fab some kinda' removable mini console/cup holder for the front of it. Original color on mine was Antique Pewter, a dark gray. Not sure if I'll go gray or medium blue. It also originally had a black vinyl top. Against my better judgement it may get one again. Also SS II/III 14" wheels painted a dark gray. Jeff - Super Nice Convertible!! Maybe I will stay with the gray! ![]() Don |

It's all about the gray.
I think the 67 body is one of the sharpest ones that Olds ever made. I wish GM would have swapped the Chevelle grille with the Cutlass one though. Would have been a lot tougher looking.
