Update: My 70 Cutlass Convertible is home again after 6 months in the collision shop.
Many of you might remember my post about my car accident I had with my 1970 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. Well it is almost ready to be back in the road again. Here are pictures taken yesterday of my car painted
The day I would like to forget!!
3 days ago. The car has not been rubbed out yet!
Here are a few pictures I took today when I drove my car home. Of course it rained... go figure...
I just want to say I told the collision shop to take their time as I am in no rush since I have another classic car (1958 Chevy Impala) to drive around. If it would have taken them 1 year, that would have been fine as I wanted the car done right.
Sal, the car looks absolutely awesome, and yes nice to see her back in action! That hood spear looks great
Thanks Nick,
You made my life easier finding the parts I needed since you had pretty much everything in stock. It was a plus since we are both located in NJ and I saved on shipping costs.
What a beautiful repair! The car looks amazing.
I hope you put it inside and wiped all the rain off it right away. I painted my first 72 (Matador Red) one year and drove it home in the rain. Of course back then the paints were either enamel or lacquer. I had enamel. I put the car in the garage and then Dad and I buggered off with the other 72 on a 2 week road trip. When I got back do you think those water spots would come off?? Nope. I had to take it to a pro to have it buffed. Of course now you have BC/CC and the process is so much better.
BTW, it's so nice to see a 70 retain its original look instead of being converted to a W25 hood
Nice work on the repairs, AND a sweet looking car. It looks EXACTLY like my '70 C/S 'vert that I used to have back in the late '80s / early '90s. You car has the same colors (body / top) and wheels, although it is in better shape than mine was. Mine didn't have the rear power antenna either.
