Project Sabre, a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S

[SparkyRnD]

Some of you may have been following the other thread about my car, Project Sabre. Due to some changes, I thought it would be best to start my own thread. The car is back at my house and I will be assembling it here. The paint and bodywork is being done by a friend, and I'll give updates on that shortly.

As a recap, here is the basis of the project:

EDIT: HERE ARE THE COMPLETED RENDERINGS!!! THANKS TO JASON RUSHFORTH!

We wanted to take a moment to introduce our future shop car and Autocross machine, called Project Sabre. The base of the project is a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 'S'. We will be swapping in LS motor, manual transmission, chassis upgrades, custom brakes, Rushforth Wheels along with a slew of other killer upgrades.

The goals for this project are a platform to display our products in use, that we can also use competitively at the autocross tracks. But the main goal for this project is to build a very streetable and usable Pro-Touring Muscle Car that anyone can replicate with a little planning and elbow grease. This will not be an overpowered, overpriced car that spends all of its time at shows and on trailers. It is meant to be driven, and driven hard!

We will be documenting the entire build from start to finish, so that everyone can see exactly what we used and why.

Safety though will be of top importance. Brakes, suspension, belts, and other items are being chosen for safety AND performance, not just because they look neat.
