Thanks Guy! I will probably end up going with the Hurst Olds scheme but I too love the W-31 cars!

Here's a few more with her FINALLY on the ground!!! I am VERY happy with the ride height at this point and it will only get better. I threw the ****ty fender up on her to see how I like the H/O paint scheme...i think it decided it for itself! I will probably end up changing the wheels out for something a little more "correct" for the feel I am going for.













More to come!!! Trying to dig out of the mess that used to be my garage!!! Hahaha!

Thanks!

Hurst Olds theme will look great and it looks like you nailed the ride height.

My uncle had a 70 442 back when I was a kid and from then on I was into the W-30's & 31's. He used to take us kids out all the time.

Looking forward to following your build

Nice project! My dad was a huge olds guy. Unfortunately he passed away last year. But this is one of his cars he left me. Btw it's not a clone.


it's a bit roughy now but I'll get it back to is former glory. Sorry guys this car won't be a protouring car!

Thanks for the compliments! Sorry to hear about your father but that is one hell of a thing to remember him by!

Best of luck with her!

Very cool to give it the Hurst Olds look. I remember when the '69's came out.

Wasn't easy to join that owners club.

Thanks Skip....wanted to try and have something at least a little different!


Here's where i am at on the wheel decision:



I will admit though that the price made me mess my pants a little...hahaha

So the Bandit doesn't like someone else reachin into his pockets that far, huh?

lol

Obviously can't go wrong with Forgelines.

Below are prototypes. I don't know if anyone else decided to produce them.

Hahaha....funny I was looking to see if those guys were still being produced. I only saw a few pics of them but this is a new computer and I lost all the damn info on them. Closest thing I found were Rushforth Concept 2s but I can't seem to find them on Jay's site anymore. I might give him a holler to chat.

I love the look of the Forgelines but last night priced them out and had to change the bed sheets after ****ting myself....lololol. It is defintely an awesome wheel but the near $5K sticker was a little hard to swallow! I was just warming up to a set of wheels for around $3500...haha.

If I could find some more pics of the enlarged SSIIs you show above I could make a little better decision fo rmyself!!!
