Hey there Terry. We really appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time to watch. The positive reinforcement certainly helps keep us motivated to make these videos. Stay Tuned. -steve

Wow . Thanks for that compliment. We appreciate you watching and playing along. Please feel free to watch some of our older stuff, if you haven;t already, to see what we started with. Yikes. -steve

Hi Ryan! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch along as always. Yeah, pretty pleased with how that part turned out. One step closer.... -steve

@@theautorefinery your wheel well mouldings fit better than mine :-)

Ecstatic! These fenders came out great, I just got up here for the week to help out and see all the work from the last few months and they’re so much better in person. Hoping I can source a trunk this week and detail these parts up a bit to test fit! Working on this weekends video! -Joe

Hey Mr. B great to hear from you. We really appreciate your continued support! Lots of hours at the work bench. Have a great week and stay cool. -steve

@@theautorefineryYou guys keep up the out standing work 🍸🍸👀😎👍

Good morning to you. Thanks so much for this comment. This is the type of stuff that we love to hear about. When did you own that car? Any idea what the production date of that car was? Was the "W" in the center of the hole? We really appreciate you taking the time to watch and play along. Please help spread the word. Stay Tuned -steve

Good morning. We really appreciate this information. Yours sounds like a very interesting car. and, for sure yours was built prior to the debut of the "QB" coded L74's But a supreme with no comfort options but with an L74 and stick.- very cool. Any idea what rear end your car has? Thanks so much for watching and participating. -steve Happy 4TH!!!!

Mine has the SE code 3.23 open rear end. The 3.08 was standard with the M20 and the 3.23 open was a no charge upgrade. It’s Sherwood green with white vinyl top, ivory interior (which was black and white two tone). It also has a center console, AM radio and SS1 wheels. I bought the car from the original who saved up money and paid cash for it but had to go stingy with the options the stay within budget. His friend bought a ‘69 442 4 speed new and couldn’t afford the insurance on it and had to sell about a year later. The friend told this guy to get one of the basic cutlass models with a small block and 4 speed to beat the insurance costs of the time. Must’ve been good advice since he owned it for 48 years. He liked the formal roofline of the Supreme and went that route.

Yeah see, I love this type of information. I try to learn something new everyday in this game, and today it's this. Thank You. Do you have first hand experience with COPO cars? I would love to learn more. Thanks for sharing. -steve

Well now..... truth be told, Big J and I have chatted about this very same thing. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and we appreciate that compliment. -steve

Wow, we Thank You for that compliment. Honestly, sometimes turning the work into an actual video is by far the hardest part. Joe certainly puts the time in. I'm so glad that this may be of some value to you moving forward on your project. We appreciate this feedback. -steve

Mr.Weaver. !!!! We appreciate you taking the time to watch this one. You are so right. This a component of the "w' cars that used to be often overlooked. In any case, now that the lower sections are done, time for me to get crackin' on the front sections. We really appreciate that you're sticking around for this project. 'Til next time..... -steve

@@theautorefinery I eagerly await each episode!!! I wish I had RUclipsd my restoration/preservation

YES!!!! That would certainly help. But who doesn't love an unnecessarily difficult challenge????? I'm now in the market for a proper one. Thanks for paying such close attention and playing along. -steve

Hello Keith. Man, I'm so humbled to learn that folks appreciate our efforts here. I'm liking your grading scale.!!! I'll be the first to admit, these types of repairs often look better in pictures and videos, and these are no different but they'll certainly serve well for the theme of this build. Thank you as always for watching. -steve

I appreciate your compliment and encouragement. Thanks for spending the time to commiserate . I'm pretty happy with the outcome here. more to come. -steve

Hello Jeff. Yes they do offer new aftermarket front fenders for 68-69 They're not cheap and I'd really hate to cut them apart for this ! hahaha. Believe me, we've discussed making more of these. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. Stay Tuned, -steve

Mr B. Yes yes , crazy amount of work, too bad these parts aren't made. I'd hate to buy new fenders to just cut them apart. Thanks for watching! -steve

Mr. B. Here ! My hat is of to you ! That was a lot of work , but you have shown what real craftsmanship witch has been lost . Many jobs ! 👀😎👍

Wow that's something! I bet it ran just fine! We have several different videos of our Old's idling. They each have a unique sound. Any idea where your car ended up?

@@theautorefinery I pull the motor and transmission and put it in a 69 convertible real 442 lost track of that car

Well thanks for watching and playing along. Can't say that I agree with you but to each their own. Let me say, if you think you hate 'em now, wait 'til you drive one. hahah please stay tuned for much more '69 Olds content. -steve

Good morning. Just no practical way to escape it when you work outside. more heat on the way I'm afraid. Thanks for watching. -steve

Good morning Ryan, pretty cool right? It really does deserve to be put back together. Thanks so much for watching. -steve

@@theautorefinery there is a red 68 L78 Chevelle that races at PSMCDR this would be brother to that car.

Now using this, to tow a car like that........ or. running this at the drags. I think we could make it run pretty well. Have a good day Ryan. -steve

@@theautorefinery you guys would love PSMCDR!!! That would be an amazing RUclips road trip!!!!

Hey Mr. B. Yes, I agree The El Camino is definitely next! Exactly when that is , we just have to keep plugging I guess. Speak again soon, -steve

Yeah haha, that's a fact isn't it??? Thanks for watching -steve

Good morning and we appreciate your participation. The poor thing is just sitting there, but your're right. At least its dry and safe while waiting its' turn. Thanks for watching -steve

THAT, SIR is a damn good catch!!! I'd agree, first week build.

One of my favorite years for Oldsmobile! This is a W31 though not a 442. How long have you owned your 442? -Joe

@theautorefinery Since November 2023. Took to shop on Jan 15th 2024. Still there and still working on it.

Check out our channel and click on the videos tab, we’ve got a lot more videos on Mr jones following that one! We’ve made a lot of progress since then. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe and get notified when we post new videos!

Good morning and we thank you for taking the time to watch. I honestly really like this rotisserie. If I can recall properly, there may have been someone from Eastwood who thought I might have issues getting it mounted without coming up with something. It may have even said in the paperwork that depending on your model car, there may be some additional mounts required. Really wasn't a big deal at all. Anyway, we appreciate the complement and look forward to hearing from you again. Stay Tuned, -steve

Good morning and Thank You for you so much for taking the time to watch some of build. Yes, honestly that's what many others suggested too. I truly feel that this will be a big feather in our cap, saving the otherwise "un savable" I appreciate your compliment - " if you think you hate in now, wait until you see it " hahaha Thanks again for watching and welcome aboard... -steve

Hi and Thank You so much for taking the time to watch. I tend to agree that with only a few color options, that particular model may have sold much better. This brings up a very interesting topic..... Special models with one paint scheme vs. those with a selection. Might be enough there for another video. In the meantime, welcome aboard and please help spread the word. -steve

Good morning. Yeah I think the QB stick / QV auto difference may be part of where some the confusion stemmed from. That green QB Cutlass is a great example of a QB coded car isn't it? Thanks for watching as always. -steve

Mr. B ! Good morning and welcome back. Certainly sounds like you had a trip of a lifetime! This is much more than a hobby, it really is a lifestyle. Time to get back on task and regain some forward progress. Thanks for playing catch up and watching the latest video. Now time for me to get back to work! -steve

Good morning and We really appreciate your support. Stay Tuned. Thank you -steve

Well we Thank You very much for this!!! It really means a lot to Joe , John and myself. -steve

Thank so much for saying that! Maintaining motivation on a project this big is a very real issue. We are glad to know when viewers truly enjoy our videos. have a great day, -steve

wow! we need to get together and talk about that! We'd love to know more about that. Please send us an email and then from there we can communicate directly. Thanks for watching, -steve

thank you!!!! so cool that you watch all of our stuff. see you soon.

Wow we really appreciate this. I sometimes forget how bad this car really was! Still a very long way to go. The rest of the car needs the same amount of attention.. Thanks for watching and playing along. -steve

Thank You thank you brother. see you soon. -steve

Hey Keith! This was a trip of a lifetime for all of us! I am very humbled by your compliment and really appreciate all of your encouragement. We are certainly doing our best. Please Stay Tuned as always -steve

Thanks for hanging in there. This is real life stuff here. Lots to do along with the major project that is "mr Jones" It certainly can't just sit around taking up space. That's never been the plan. We will do our best to get back on task. speak soon, -steve

@@theautorefinery I liked your on the road vids knowing what dealer OG was sold at is cool I had no idea Jones was so Optioned power seats 2 dash fans wow However seeing the owners Retirment papers got me hard I remember that day well thanks for 22 years of service see ya. start life over ya easy right Lol not like your work

Gene, it was a tremendous honor to have visited with you and your family. and as you said - "'til we meet again" speak soon, -steve

As a former owner of a 1969 442 and 69 Cutlass rag I approve of these videos 😅 thx guys !

Good evening and Thank You so much for the compliment! You certainly have shown that you are ( and were) an Olds fan! please keep watching and help spread the word. -steve

Hey! This is cool a comment, on a comment, even before I had a chance to reply. Thanks very much for watching and for playing along. -steve

Stock cam believe it or not! Not as much overlap as the W-31 cam but still a pretty good sound to it. Might be able to find a cam close to this and sound similar. -Joe

well good morning Mr. Green. So glad that you liked this one. We were all so excited to have been able to make this happen. The connections that we made with people during this trip will be lifetime long. Thanks as always for watching. until next time.... -steve

Good morning. It was great to have met you both yesterday. The " Hail Mary Cutlass" performed just about perfectly. 178 miles round trip. Thanks for taking the time to take a look at our channel. We really appreciate the support. Happy Memorial Day !! -steve PS Your Skylark is a killer car! A bucket list car for me is a '70 Diplomat Blue Stage 1.
