Finally got my 71 into the body shop to start my resto-mod. I will post pictures as it progresses through the process. Now I just have to find someone to redo the interior!

 

I will be watching your thread. I like the color. Details details.

Painting the jams.

 

In the booth

 

Beautiful....

 

Putting her back together

 

I really like the color. It sure looks better with the Olds wheels on it. Very nice.

 

Paint done just a few adjustments and she should be good to go. Now to focus on the interior.

 

Thank you. I like the 14's as well.

 

Those guys did a really nice job on that car. Enjoy your car.

 

Looks good and I'm glad that hood went away🙂 You just need trumpets now.

 

color looks great

 

VERY NICE! I am curious about that yellow hood with the cowl intake. At first I thought it was a "flat hood" from a 70 Cutlass Supreme. I knew it wasn't the raised hood like on your blue 71 now. But then I looked back and see it is a 71-72 hood, only flat_ well I mean flat before the cowl scoop was added??? Or is that maybe a aftermarket hood made that way in fiberglass? I'm not really a fan of the Chevy style scoops on anything other than a Chebby, but I think that hood was well done. Though I still like your original hood much better. Love that Blue!!

 

Wow.. that color Pops

 

Yes nice color, looks like those guys do some good work.

i like the original 71 side trim and wheel arch trim, a lot of times those get left off in a repaint, but they really add alot to these cars. The trunk letters too h although they look to straight compared to originals lol

the roof looked terrible (typical vinyl) in the first few pics but wow they did some nice work bringing that back.

any more work planned for the future?

any engine details i see some NOS parts under the hood.

i know its an olds forum but maybe just one more pic of the fairlane?

the paint and color looks very very good.

 

Thats a fiberglass hood that was on it. The guy had the original hood put away in storage. When I bought the car he gave me all the old original parts that they had taken off to save weight.

 

Color looks like mine!

 

Just to dig up an old thread. Beautiful car. Any updates?
