Hello everyone, I am just starting on my new project purchased from one of my best friends since high school. He had the car in a barn and had started the restoration and could not finish it, so I asked him if I could purchase many times and finish it and got the opportunity. Original 1970 Cutlass S, and I am adding the W-31 package items to it as a tribute vehicle. Hope to gain a lot of friends and share in all the Olds fun!! Here are some recent pictures with the new metal I had done by RJays Speed Shop in Adrian, MO. Car has been off the road for over 21 years. It will be triple Gold, and I do need a few items so it you have any related items, I would love to hear from you! Need my dash pad repaired or replaced, needs to be Gold as I mentioned! Thanks for the opportunity and help!! Brett
This is probably the best automotive site on the internet. It is indicative of the people who own Oldsmobiles and it looks like you and your 'S' will be welcome additions.
Hello everyone sorry it’s been so long since last post. Working on the rear window and wanting to replace the vertical sash how do I get it off the glass without breaking it take a look at the picture. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
W31 Tribute coming together Interior dye applied 350 engine coming back to life Seat pics for documentation, have more if anyone interested please ask and I can provide
Here are some pictures of my progress. I have moved to Shawnee, Kansas, and have a great garage to work on it now.
You're doing a great job on that car. I love that color - hard to beat gold with black on these cars. That quarter glass trim is only held onto the glass with a compression fit. You found that out by being able to carefully pry it off. There's a rubberized strip that sits on the edge of the glass and that chrome channel is pressed tightly over it.
Nope, just a 350/350 setup. I'd love to make a 442 clone but I just need to get it on the road and enjoy it for now It hasnt moved since 2009...! Maybe we should cruise Metcalf sometime....

I recall there being one and I missed the closing of it. I think it was kinda in the middle of nowhere Kansas. lol. Wish I could recall!
The one I remember was near Soldier, KS, north and west of Topeka. It was amazing. I bought a gently used 425 from s 66 Starfire from the guy back in the 80s.

Great project. Yes we should cruise Metcalf! I need to finish my wiring and need to get on it. I get distracted to easily and need to prioritize. I always seem to be working on something. More to come!

Yes that was it! We need to get another going south of KC.
