Leadfoot Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Did they pull the trim and paint underneath it as well? Quote
KarenL2888 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Posted March 15, 2014 thoughts about the black pin line paint in the lower panel groove? I think it makes a statement since Im not replacing those thin ugly door trim strips. Still debating a pin stripe along the top edge Quote
94 olds vert Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 I think your car looks great. I would leave the pin strip off on the top belt line. Quote
White93z34 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Not feeling the pinstripe things... Â Â I would however pull the tail lamps off and polish the hell out of the clear section so its not so yellow. Quote
95cutlass Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) That is beautiful! Looks like they did a very good job at taking care of your car! Edited March 16, 2014 by 95cutlass Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Looking great! Â Sent from my 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP using VFD DIC Quote
Afubar Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 That's beautiful, Thank God there are people that actually care for these fantastic cars. You're gonna love tootling around in that. Get ready for all the admiring stares. My car goes into the shop on the 24th to get a new top. Â Kaye Quote
KarenL2888 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks everyone! Now you know why I fell in love with her in 1993 Quote
ripp Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Car is looking great! Did you have the wheels redone also? IM not feeling the black stripes in I would just put the stock strip back on if it was mine. The black just looks out of place. Quote
KarenL2888 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Posted March 16, 2014 He painted the paint sections and chrome refinished the rest. These wheels originally came with every other section painted and every other section chromed. Quote
Leadfoot Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Wow, that's looking really good. I would agree on polishing or replacing the backup lamps. Quote
oldmangrimes Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 I like the black stripes in the lower trim, but I would not do another pin stripe up higher. Too many lines will make it look too busy. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the car with the top finished. Looking at the pictures of your freshly painted car makes me feel sad about the dings and scratches in my paint. Quote
KarenL2888 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) I am getting used to them...they are very subtle. Probably due to the groove design. The closeups may make them more overwhelming than they actually are. I am agreeing on the striping. Orignally she had striping but it was along the top of that molding and wrapped the bumper too. The stripe was maroon. I will leave it off. Edited March 20, 2014 by KarenL2888 Quote
94 olds vert Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 Wow it's going to look showroom new! Quote
j_mezz Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) It looks terrific! Interior too!! Â one note, that Oldsmobile script on the hood is in the wrong place...might want them to remove it\re-position it while they still have it (if You want). I have measurements handy if you need them (about to put these on my car). Â edit - actually, i'll just put them ==> here Edited April 6, 2014 by j_mezz Quote
KarenL2888 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 you are absolutely right! I couldn't place what was disturbing me about the badging. Quote
Nas Escobar Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 Wow Karen, that car is looking gorgeous! Â Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk. Quote
95cutlass Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Absolutely gorgeous! They sure did a good job on your cutlass! Quote
KarenL2888 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 Both pistons went in the top so its out for rebuild. Should be done this week for sure. Quote
94 olds vert Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Nice! Just in time for some good spring time weather. Hopefully... Quote
