    A Special Treat: 1970 Olds Cutlass S

    This car was a treat for me to do for several reasons. The first and most obvious is that it was very cool to work on a classic car. Secondly, this belongs to a good friend who`s owned it for years. He finally got it painted this year about a month before he had me coat it. The paint left a lot to be desired...more on that later. I took my 11 year old daughter when I went to pick it up...she couldn`t figure out the crank windows!! Here it was to begin with:





























    Another thing this generation wouldn`t get...









    The black decals were scratched quite badly. I`m assuming they were new? Whoever washed it destroyed them...i`m thinking the body shop did, but I don`t know.















    Here`s where that bird poop from the earlier shot had already stained the clear!






    One of the first things to improve was the wheels. Here is one after being hand polished by Duragloss Squeaky Clean:








    The hood had the dubious honour of having the worst paint. Look at the dirt and how it was amplified after polishing.









    I had only planned on doing a one step polish because I thought it would have been a good paint job. It wasn`t, by any stretch of the imagination, and I ended up spending an additional 10 hours just to get it to a decent stage. Not perfect, just decent. 13 hours total on the paint. The paint was coated with Self Heal Lite and topped with Top Coat and the wheels coated with Wheel & Caliper. I might have been able to improve it a bit I think...



















































    Thanks for looking. My friend was absolutely blown away by the transformation. Proud moment.

    Nice work as usual, Richy!
    Very cool car! Good to see such an uncommon vehicle well-preserved.
    The Rallye 350 was one of the "W-machines" from Oldsmobile, in this case, a budget alternative to the 455-powered 442, but still a stout performer.
    Thanks for sharing!
