I am working on a frame-off restoration of a 70 sx 455 Convertible and I have a spare 1972 Cutlass supreme.

The cars are not at me house and they are not near each other right now so that is why I am asking these questions that may seem silly or obvious to the Olds experts out there.

Will the front suspension be interchangable? Also, would the rear seat in a 72 hardtop fit in a 70 convertible?

Does the radiator support interchange?

I know the hood doesn't and that's why I posted that I'm in need of a hood.

I'm assuming the doors interchange. Is the door glass any different for the convertible?


I'm also looking for Concourse correct pictures of 70 Cutlasses for accuracy in paint overspray, markings, and all of the other details.

Any help or direction is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Yes

Nope. Convertible rear seats are different.

Nope. 71-72 are the same, but 70 is different. It's due to the taller grilles, the same reason why the hood doesn't work either.

Doors and glass are the same, but you'll need to transfer the wedge plates from the old convert doors.

Thanks Joe. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I start the restoration.
