Although the Olds was in pretty good shape, .it had been a driver car through the '70s.
It definitely endured some bruises over the years.
To smooth them out .... we shot some primer to start the process. Next, we, block
sanded the body to show the dings and flaws .... and then applied some filler and
continued block sanding to restore the original flowing design lines.

Some more body work and sanding .... and then .... shot the wrong primer (yellow)
before Woodsy realized the paint store sent the wrong stuff . While they made good on
getting me the correct primer, the yellow stuff had to be sanded off before the correct
Zinc primer could be shot. The last shot shows the rear section after working and
repainting.
The nice Oldsmobile lines are really starting to show now.
Check back for more progress.
