Howdy!

Just got this fine young lady into the garage. Working on stripping her down to the frame and cleaning her up. Then replacing the suspension, brakes, transmission, engine, interior, and then paint. Gonna throw some pictures up here. Interior is brown, any suggestions on paint or restore feel free to post!

Thanks!

 

I would love to post a bunch of pics but theyre currently upside down. If anyone knows how to fix that, i'll be glad to post!

 

I'm looking at the pictures on my IPad and on the small thumbnails they are upside down,but when I click to show them larger they are right side up.I guess that your car is just "turning tricks"because it's going to be restored! Larry

 

Hahaha good call Larry. Im fired up. I pretty much did the same thing to a 68 Cutlass S also until a cat decided to curl up and croak inside. Could NOT get the smell out. Thankfully Im doing the exact same thing now!

 

The color may be Sienna (code 67) ,and if it is,it will look great when freshly painted,of course it's like most of us, it's lost a little of it luster and gleam as it aged. Looks like it originally had a vinyl top, may want to paint the top a light beige for contrast. Best of luck with the project and keep us informed. You might want to look at a member here named(Joeg's album) . That car looks great. Larry

 

Will do! Thats the code on it. I may go sienna all over. But that will be last on the list.

 

Look at the picture on Joeg's profile page tha says TruW31, It gives a truer picture (Closer to Sienna). Larry

 

More pics! some of the interior. Ive pulled the carpet and the dynomat and I need to take some more pictures.

 

Good luck, thats one of my favorite colors on and Olds

 

Thanks steverw! I plan on keeping the interior sandalwood and then go white for the exterior paint. Im super fired up!

 

Got to work last night and pulled the headlights and moved the wiring out of the way. Then I got inside and removed both seats, the carpet, and vacuumed the heck out of it. Unfortunately found a couple of rust holes but it doesn't look too bad. Part of the adventure! Next up will be removing the core support, engine and tranny, and begin scrubbing her down!

 

I am a little confused as to where the sandlewood is in your car. I see a Sienna car with Sienna interior, which is the same as my 71 Supreme SX. Sandlewood is an off white/ beige type of color which I don't see in your pictures.

 

Like my signature says, I'm a greenhorn. I thought my interior was sandalwood. It probably is sienna. I plan on going Cameo white paint and leave the sienna interior.
