I've been a member over at 73-77olds.com forum for several years. Expanding my horizons! Have a 73 Cutlass S that I am trying to get back on the road and I'm sure this will be a great source for information, meet like minded Olds enthusiasts and find needed parts. Picture is attached of the old Olds shortly after purchase a few years ago and before I started working on it. Hope to make some significant progress this summer!

It's not a bad start, picture makes it look a lot nicer than it really is, it probably could have been buffed up and driven the way it was but the paint was pretty dried out and had some discoloration from a tarp burn, the vinyl top was completely dried out and ribbons flapping in the wind! So I stripped it off, of course found some rust by the lower corners of the back window, so the rust repair began and has snow balled into finding some other minor body issues. It is fairly solid but someone had done some old school rust repair, brazed a piece of sheet metal over some rust on the lower part of the fenders so I am in the process of fixing that, and it had a bit of minor run in with something at some point bondo in the passenger quarter, assume it was all "fixed" at the same time. It only has 38k on the odometer and I believe it to be correct, previous owner bought it in '91 from original owner and only drove it 300 mi until I bought it in 2012, he was somewhat of a collector.
