Those are less expensive than I thought they would be.

I like the central vacuum in the garage, I have one myself.

 

No mess in the house when you empty it

Not to steal the thread but you have a car which scored “Time Capsule” in Vintage Certification or your using this to describe your car?

 

Stefano I do not understand the question this is a restoration tread Were did the car get that score do you know?
If ever?

This is a question for the people with knowledge

Thanks all in advance
Alain

 

Yes, they both use the 588 carrier casting.

Hi all
A bit of a bummer today .Called Legendary today and was told my interior will be delayed 6 to 7 weeks.
Ordered in December 2020 was promised April delivery now looking at June?
A bit of a bummer Decided to vent a bit thanks
Alain

 

Let me guess ... they blamed it on COVID.

 

Well, they were shut down a good 8 to 10 weeks seeing as how they’re a New York based company.

 

I placed an order for PUI seat covers and door panels from OPGI last September and I am still getting back order notices pushing my delivery out another month. I have all the foam and the door panels but no seat covers.

 

Like I said a bit of a bummer but sh-t happens
Waiting for the car to come back from paint soon
Alain

 

It's coming along great, Alain. There's always other stuff to work on.

 

Thanks for the good words 99% of the other stuff is done
But we are moving forward progress is good
Alain

 

Cant wait to see more updates !
sadly we decided this year we'd be selling our 71 convertible, just too many other priorities.

 

Updates will be coming.Hope you are getting another Oldsmobile with the sale of this one.
Alain

 

Just finished restoring mouldings for wheel wells 3 came out really nice and 1 is nice will see how they look on the car
Alain

 

I've enjoyed and been amazed at the restoration you are doing. Just wondering if you polished the wheel moldings? Did you have to remove any dents? I purchased a kit from Eastman but haven't gotten into it yet. Stupid question, when I went to reinstall them in the past I could barely tell the difference between front and back pieces. I just went by holes lining up for the most part. Is there a clear way to identify them other than trial and error?

Steve

 

Hi Steve
Yes the mouldings were all polished and the dents removed time consuming work
Usually the front ones are different from the back ones.
Alain

 

W 31 is getting block sanded we are getting closer
Alain

 

Looking good

 

Color is coming blocking almost all done
Alain

 

Looking great. Looks clean enough to eat off of.

 

More progress

 

Good progress. What paint did you use for the grilles?

 

Hi Jim
The paint on the grilles is Eastwood aluma blast works for me
Alain

 

Fender mouldings top one is original to car botton one is a Fusick reproduction
Will decide what I do? Both originals have some crazing very faint
Alain

 

Hi all starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel
More to come
Alain

 

Your "S" is upside down - it's centered on the entire nose (including a couple inches of the hood), not the tongue.

 

Sorry I know it was just a set up
I will not be going to Oldsmobile heaven
Please forgive me
Alain

 

If the stars align and the Oldsmobile gods are willing the W-31 will be in my garage for final assembly
I can't wait
Alain
PS yes I will post photos

 

Hurry we are out of paint jail

 

That's beautiful!!!! now the fun begins!
