Still for sale

I have a lot of stories about this car. Getting some of the parts cars was a real challenge. Parted out 8 different Olds Jetfires and Cutlasses, some for just a couple of items. I have a real good story I will save for a later date. Installed the hood on the car today and will post a few photos on Monday. One very cool story is where the motor came from. Received a call from a guy selling a Jetfire engine. He had a complete running motor. We talked about what kind of car he had it in. He explained it was not in a car but a tractor. Thought this is was odd so I asked why? It was in a tractor pull tractor. He could out pull all the tractors in the area but not one guy. His only option was small block Chevy to compete and that was why he was selling it. I took a chance and it was and is one sweet running motor. When I sold the car the first time a good friend want to take it for a test drive. He owned one new and now the car was 20 years old. He and my dad took it out and when they got back my father said I drove it like a girl! He said Clint was able to get rubber in all four gears. It was quick in 1987 and I expect it to be better. Have a 3:36 posi on the work bench to clean up before I install it!! I will get the next story ready in a few weeks. Ken

Been working on a few projects but this is the current update. Turbo down pipe. Waldrons did a exhaust system for me. I was not happy with the flanges they made and I was able to get a correct flange from Jensen racing. Waldrons was able to install it on the pipe they made. Came out great and they are a pleasure to work with!! Interior and rugs Installed the rugs, console and interior. More to go but starting to shape up. My son has been under the dash trying to get the lights, wiper and electrical systems working. A few photos below of progress.
