Schwartz Cutlass LSX 455
 

The rear tire, looks kinda narrow, but they're 345/30x19 on 13 wide Forgelines. It's on our Schwartz A Body chassis. The Recaro seats in this retail for $3300 each.
I hope to get the owner's permission to have this at Road Atlanta for the Year One Exp.

Wow, that's going to be a wicked car. Definitely keep us in the loop! :thumbsup:

Yes, please keep us updated!! :thumbsup:

$3300 for seats:wow: wish I had that kind of money and it look like a cool build so far really like the wheels when does she get color?

If you read the original post it is $3300 for EACH seat. That is going to be one bad a$$ ride!

We have the seats in a hermetically sealed vault until they're ready to go in. Don't want to breath too hard on them out of fear. Considering what the front's cost, getting the rears upholstered to match was a bargain.

:thumbsup: Wow i just melted trough my chair love to see more of the "non Camaro" cars cant wait to follow this thread!

Should be in color in a few weeks. Doing final design on fuel tank and engineering the stainless steel hood hinges Monday. The body is coming off one more time.

Bad ass car!

I like how you spaced out the LS2 water pump to run your bracket system, Pretty slick.

We use an LS1 ATI Damper on the serp drive. With an LS7, the crank being longer, it ends up spaced out some.
The owner decided to ditch the vinyl top.
Here's the revision Carter did.
Thanks

SMOKIN :thumbsup: :cheers:

How far along is this car? I have never seen one of these olds built up before.
I would love to see updates if you have any.

Info on the build are here:

Hope to have it complete and at Year One Exp
Thanks

Just a courious question on the 455... What is the buzz about doing a drive by wire anyways? I keep hearing protouring guys doing this and saying its the in thing now. My experience has been drive by wire works well but when you get on it hard and quick there is a delay in the throttle response, not bad but noticeable... Sorry for changind the topic a little bit....

Blessings,

Glad to see another Olds! Any mods planned for the front bumper/grills/hood? Going w/fiberglass bumper or front spoiler or just stock 71 chrome front bumper?

No delay noticeable on this DBW. On a vette maybe a bit only if the traction control is on.
Stock repro hood, stock bumpers.
Thanks

Nice!!! Damn, I HAVE to get back on mine soon!

Shiny Side Up!
Bill

Yea, get to work. LOL

so when is this thing going to be rolling around? It looks to me that this thing will be rolling around under its own power in 2 months.

Any updates on this bad boy?? :D

2 words ; paint jail !!

We spent 3 days laying out the stripes to perfection.
In final assembly soon.

Looks nice! For a car with such crisp lines, it's actually a bit hard to stripe and have it come out looking good. I think you may have nailed it though, from the looks of the tape. Pics of the final stripes, please!

Shiny Side Up!

Here's a couple shots I took today.
Schwartz A Body chassis is installed.
The 455 CID Schwartsz built LS7 and Viper 6 speed are ready to install.
Those are 345 /30 x 19's

I can't get the stripes to look right in the photos and I can't post a high res photo as it's too large.
Here's another shot. It looks ragged in this shot too, but the stripes are clean.

Coming along nicely Jeff!!

Here's a updated couple pics. Hope to have it done in Dec

Roughing out the engine wiring. The plastic inner fenders are not finished yet.

Love the car It looks like a a dream, Did you happen to so any renderings with it white and gold stripes? Just trying to pic that in my head wondering how it would look I bet hot.

Nice works as always Jeff

No, we didn't try white. The customer wanted to retain the stock gold color, which is the color we used. It'd probably look good though.
Thanks

car looks amazing as is normal with all your work...

off topic but is that a Ducati Tricolore in your profile picture by any chance?

Hey Jeff , who do you use for your interior??
Mario

Various sources, depending on the job.

No that's my Bimota DB4, Ducati engine in it though.

I love that car, hopefully the owner will let you take the car out on the track so can see that chassis shine.

Jeff, Dale showed me your website and I've been watching your builds. You guys do some amasing work!! :thumbsup: Keep it up!
