Newbie from Illinois. 1969 Cutlass S

Hi all, I've been trolling for a while getting ideas from this awesome site. I have a 69 Cutlass from the wifes cousin and have started the rehab process. I'm looking to build a street cruiser so reliability is the main thing. Power train is a rebuilt stock 350 with TH400 trans. In the process of putting on a power disc conversion along with a-arms, springs, shocks and swaybars. It's not going to be an all stock restoration but i want a good handling easy driver the wife will enjoy too. I've posted up some pics from my friends shop in my profile. Hoping to be on the road this summer!!

Looks very similar to my car:-)


I have a 1969 Olds Cutlass S Sports Coupe, it has parking wipers, yours has non parking wipers..... is your car an F85 or a Cutlass S?
