I have been lurking on this site and have learned alot. I have owned my 71 cutlass convertible since last March. I had the motor freshened up and re conditioned the interior in order to drive it over the summer. Between my wife and I we put 2500 miles on it this year and enjoyed every bit. It is now apart in the garage and I started the body work this week. The car is in great shape and I am excited to to see the body is pretty strait. I will look forward to posting and asking questions.

Thanks for your time

Hi Kevin. I just joined myself. I have a 69 Cutlass convertible that I picked up a couple of months ago. Really been enjoying driving it this fall. The 71 is a nice one. Good luck with the work.

 

High Kevin welcome to the site. Good luck with your car.

 

Another lurker joined up!! Welcome to our site! A lot of knowledgable guys on here, as you probably figured out! Post some pics of your car... we like pics!! Good luck!

 

Sounds like me. Also have a 71 vert. It is also in the garage being worked on after driving all summer. funds a little short so won't be able to do all I want but always next winter. Funny how your 2 to 3 year project becomes a lot longer. Where are you located?

Good luck with yours
Larry

Lets see those progress photos Kevin. Sounds like you've got youself a nice car

 

Thank you for the welcomes. Here are a few photo's starting with the day I brought it home. My wife was a little suprised to see this car for the first time which is why I painted it all one color. The next photo is the day I put the epoxy primer on it and the last pic is in the work shop which was taken today. The goal is to have it in paint in Feb so I have March and April to put it back together and be driving a fresh car next summer. The more I get to know this car the more I like it.

Kevin, Very nice car! Welcome please keep us posted with pics too. It is very cool to see how people do their cars. I always manage to learn something new.

 

Kevin,

Welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice car, keep taking pictures of the progress and post them for us. Good luck and let us know if we can be of any help.

 

Thank you for posting pictures of your project. But now you gotta 'splain to me what the story is on the H/O emblem on the drivers side front fender

Yes, I can see your wife wanting all one color, women are funny that way!

 

Welcome aboard

Vera Nice set of wheels

[quote=2blu442;127128]Thank you for posting pictures of your project. But now you gotta 'splain to me what the story is on the H/O emblem on the drivers side front fender

The story I got when I bought the car was that this was a persons project who replaced all of the sheet metal and then passed away. The doors had holes and studs for molding. the hood and grill are from a 442 the rear fenders are new. Since the car was painted ( it looked like base coat with no clear) and the H/O emblem was over that paint I assume it was put there on a whim. It was only on one side of the car. To the best of my knowledge it is a 71 Cutlass supreme. It was a column shift auto that has now been converted to floor shift with buckets. It has working AC and manual windows. When I am done it wil be a "cosmetic" 442 clone

I could be the third owner since the work was done and the owner who is going to finish and drive this car. Here is a picture as I drove the car all summer long
