Here's the trunk floor, wheel house, and rear tail panel install on the S71 Olds. The sheetmetal work is nearly finished, as all we have left is the quarter panel repairs and the upper dash repair, and those are coming soon!

We finally tackled the quarter panels on the "S71" Olds project. We were a little hesitant on this one, as the original panels were very nice save for some rusty edges, so we elected to just replace the edges with some quarter skins.

The dashboards all seem to rust on GM "A" bodies, and the "S71" Olds was no different. We elected to replace the rusty dash with a piece taken from a rust-free parts car.

The S71's body came back from the media blaster, and it only revealed a couple small surprises, namely a couple small holes in the floor. You can see the difference between plastic media blasting and glass bead here, as both were used on this car.

Any update on the wheels?

We're still working on the wheels. I'll post updates when we make some progress. How's that for a vague answer? :rolleyes:

Project update: The S71 Olds gets a bath in PPG DP series primers... DP90 in black for the bottom, and soon DP60 in blue for the interior and exterior before filler work begins.
