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.

right on nice to see an olds

Very cool. Is this the same car that is on DSE's website? I saw the car on their website earlier and had to go back and check it out. lol
Should be a cool project.:thumbsup:

Sizes
 

what size wheel tire combo are they? anymore pics?

Thanks,

Robert,
Lookin' sharp!
David

looks good and more muscle with the new wheels cant wait to see progress

I'm very opinionated on this one. I'm happy that someone out there is thinking Olds. But I've always been happy that they haven't been on the market, it's cool to have something no one else has.

I hope PHR keeps the heart, and not put a chevy in it. (No offense) lol

Cool to see something different. That thing looks good as it is right now, look forward to see the changes. :thumbsup:

Yes it is.

We have something in the works, that's all I can say for now.... The build up articles are coming soon.

Wheels are Rocket Booster Greys by Rocket Racing Wheels. Fronts are 18X8 with 245-40-18 rear are 18X9 275-40-18

Thanks David!:thumbsup:

canceling car craft as I write this and getting PHR sent to my house!:thumbsup:

By FAR the best project car going at PHR.. an affordable car that somebody would actually want to own.

Can't wait to see this car done Robert.. :thumbsup:

Awesome!!

Awesome!! Thanks for the support!

Thanks Steve. I really appreciate the comment.:lateral:

Robert

glad PHR picked you up.great photograhy ...
best mag on the stands.

tom

Congrats Robert!
At least PHR got this pick right. I see most of the installs are being done somewhat local to our state. Its nice to get in the car and take a morning criuse to check progress. Dont change the two tone "mock" hardtop look, it makes the car IMO, which you propably agree with anyway.
Dave

Funny, I had actually thought about painting the top to match the red, totally changed my mind. Where are you located?

^ In Delafield. We talked briefly at Joliet.

Cool
 

Neat PHR Project car - love the articles so far! Should be a lot of fun - building and driving.

Thanks! Yeah it's been a blast to drive, now we just need some horsepower.
:thumbsup:

Love the Olds killer project:thumbsup:

Looks like awesome progress Robert... one of the few magazine builds that I actually care to follow these days... :thumbsup:

(CP projects aside)

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.

congrats
 

Robert

:thumbsup: ON THE CUTLASS BUILD IN PHR...


Tom

gotta be one of my favorite builds, I am a fan of builds that are off the beaten path. I have been meaning to re subscribe and this is definitely a good enough reason!

Robert, my older brother had the same year/model--was his first car in high school. His was all white----I like the two tone look of yours. My bro sold his about 4 years ago--he held onto it for quite a long time. I was sorry to see it go, but didn't have space for it in my own garage. It 's very exciting to see this one, and the fact that it will be done right. I will imagine what could have been for my brothers. I will be following this one closely---really stoked to see you get this car and build it as you go along. Seems like a realistic build that will have my attention all the way through.

Doug

Go Olds!!!
 

Hey Robert the car looks awsome I can't wait till you get some more power under the hood so we can go pound on it on the road coarse.:thumbsup:

Thanks Randy. I appreciate your help with the project.

Like previously said Robert, car looks awesome! Cool to see something different.

Robert, I freaking love this car......these Olds are a sadly overlooked car, finally getting some real love!!! This will be a great project to watch. :thumbsup:

I'm so glad it's an Olds. I share the same thoughts as you on having a car that everyone has. Let's just say Chevellabration did me in. Can't wait for this months edition to get here. (And I promise, I'll look at the other articles too, afterwards)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really happy with all the upgrades thus far. Everything is working well and the car is fun to drive. It just sucks I can't drive it now. Damn snow.
