Wow guys, thanks for all your support. I'm really happy with what we have done. I hope that this will show people that there are alternatives that are just as cool.

Can we get more pics? Or does PHR own all the pics of your car? :D I KNOW you have some killer shots of the car stashed somewhere.

I can't get over how much you have done for the money! Let's just say I'm a little jealous! :lol:

Love the car and can't wait for the powertrain build!

"Project Olds"

We have already started with some upgrades and the car debuted at the Good Guys show in Joliet last weekend. Please check out the blog....

The car was well received and did really well on the Autocross despite the lack of power.

Here it is currently...

Watch for the build up to start in PHR early 2010. Let us know what you think and stayed tuned as we continue the progress. I want to thank all my friends who have been so supportive. I also wanted to thank Detroit Speed, Baer Brakes, Rocket Racing wheels, and Nitto tires for their interest in our project. Also a big thanks to Performance Restorations in Mundelein, IL for helping us with the installs. I hope you all like the project.

I love the B-O-P cars.

Many way to cool cars that very under represented.

I'll start working on one soon for a basic refurbishing. I hope they eventually catch on since relitively speaking they are pretty cheap compared to the Chevy's.

Good Luck,

Ty

Was the first article I read when the issue showed up here at the house---loving this build up for sure bro---great choices all the way around, and like I mentioned before, I would love to have one of these for myself--such a great car with great lines on them. It's great you are staying with the Olds motor as well----that 455 will get the job done for sure. Have you had a chance to drive it with the mods yet? Night and day diff? Keep us posted--you are doing a great job with it.
