Yeah for sure! Especially one that has been sitting outside forever and had a tree fall on it. Out of all the Cutlass's i have had i think this is only the 3rd i have bought with a vinyl top and I got really lucky on the first two. This one i kind of figured had issues, but i was even a bit shocked.

Okay so getting caught up with this mess. Firstly I had to sort the mouse chewed and rotten vacuum lines so this thing actually functions correctly. The younger me would have just tore all this stuff out. While I was doing that I had my son tackling the floor. The driver side was Swiss cheese...

Oh the new top will not be vinyl, but it will be a top. stay tuned for what we do with that one it should be interesting.

Hadn't heard about it, however i will check and see if i can attend

Sure that might be a good temporary wheel since the cars current one is so bad and quite frankly too nasty that i dont even want to touch it. The jeep wheels bolt right up?

Dang you're good. Medium dark gray alright.

I will look at the ID tag. It's really hard to tell what color it us because of the fading. I'll snap a few pictures as well of the areas the sun didn't get to

Progress on the roof. I moved on to the passenger side and have the major dent mostly removed. Then I moved on to cleaning up the rust and removing the really rotted spots. After that was complete I started welding in the patch panels. It's turning out pretty good so far. Still having to be...

So after I found a lot of the metal is very thin I decided to professionally correct it. See it says professional. In two languages no less, that's how you know it'll work. With that being said the results are actually pretty good So I actually think that sealed it up pretty well and filled...

https://www.thorntonmusclecars.com/product-page/gold-engine-enamel This is about the closest i have found to a really correct Olds gold color.

Started doing a little "repair" cut out the main hole on the passenger side and cleaned up the metal around it. Problem is there is literally nothing in the area to weld to thats any good. So even with my welder on the lowest setting I couldn't get it to not blow through. So tomorrow I'll solve...
