Hi Everyone I'm new to the Forum, I am working on a 1972 Olds Cutlass S, I bought it about 3 years ago in pieces, It has 442 badging but I don't have the build sheet, its my understanding that in 72 you could purchase a "442" Cutlass that was an automatic 2 barrel with single exhaust. it was just a trim option. Sooo your guess is as good as mine if it was actually a 442 from factory or not. I am collecting parts a little at a time when I have the Green Paper stuff. I have just about all the body parts I need with exception of a wing and front bumper. The interior is light brown and I'm in the midst of collecting Black Pieces. I have seats but they need reupholstered, I need door panels as well as seat backs center console (Im debating on attempting to pant mine) and some other odds and ends. I have a while to go so Im not really in a big rush. I look forward to talking with you Guys/Galls.

Welcome to the group... Good luck with your project... I may still have some black door panels, But I would have to check to make sure what is actually left since I had both 70 & 71/72 panels... Where are you located???

Welcome Jim. Good luck with your 72. I find the 72 Olds models to be superior over all others. LOL.
I'm fairly new too. This is a great site!

Welcome. FYI, the OCA National meet is in Gettysburg this year at the end of July, so you have a deadline to get your car finished.

Jim, the front and rear panels I have are for a 1970, not the same as your 72... Also, they are only in fair/good condition and may need to be re-glued on the edges...

Welcome to the site!

The hard plastic pieces can be painted fairly easily using SEM products. If you don't have cracks, gouges, etc, then painting should work well.
