Project "Red Rocket"...yea, that's right!

Hey Guys,

Just the other day I sold my Pro-Touring '78 Trans Am and will be delivering it to its new owner on Memorial Day. I learned a tremendous amount on that car and she sure was great for the limited time I drove her. LS1/4L60e Detroit Speed arms, Pro-Touring F-body Suspension and a boatload of other goodies. And while it saddens me to get rid of her...I am getting married and have some serious house work that needs to be done.

However as one door closes, a new one opens. Well, the door opened for this girl:








A 1969 Olds Cutlass S with 44,000 miles on the clock. Why's it look so beat you ask? Well, the previous owner bogarted all the good sheetmetal to put on his 442 only to sell the damn thing!

Anyway, I snatched this guy up for $1K and the interior is practically mint!

My plans you ask??? Well, I talked with Mark at SC&C and she will be LOADED with the best of his catalog:

- Stage II Plus System
- SPC Lower Control Arms
- SPC Springs
- Currie Currectrac Rear Lowers
- Adjustable Uppers
- Chassisworks VariShocks
- Hellwig Pro-Touring Adjust Rear Bar
- Hellwig 1-1/4 Hollow-wall Front Bar
- Lee 800 Series Box
- HydroBoost
- Front Baer Track System -13in Rotors
- Baer Iron Sport Rears

For Wheels........BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!



18" Rushforth Rated-X!!!!!!!!!!!!! 18X8 fronts 18x10 rears. I love these things and think they will look killer on a Victory Red Painted W-31 Cloned Cutlass with two black stripes down the hood.

Car's coming in the garage this weekedn when the TA leaves...

Oh and for a power plant? This will do nicely...



403 Olds from my drag car...ran 11.50s in that but I swapped the cam to make it a little more streetable. For now it will be backed by a TH350 but will eventually get a 200R4 transmission or 4LXX-esque trans. Oh and to top it off...



A nice little kit from MassFloEFI...

I am sooooo stoked for this project it is ridiculous! I am working on the guts first then paint.

Gentlemen...here she is...a Victory Red Olds Rocket...hence the name...

Project Red Rocket!!!! I know I know...I'm just fine with the jokes though...that's why I picked it!!!

Thanks!

Dave
