83 Olds Cutlass pro street

[Steve H]

Hi all, I always liked the mid eighties Cutlass, Monte Carlos and Regals. 

This is a kit-bash of the 83 Olds, Hay’s pro street T-bird, and ‘67 Chevelle pro street. 
I grafted the tubs from the 67 Chevelle chassis to the front of the Hay’s T-bird. The Chevelle also supplied the base 396 motor. The intake is from the T- bird with resin twin  turbos feeding it. Engine is fully wired and plumbed including NOS injection. Carbon fibre inner fenders. The wheels are modified rallye wheels from the Olds kit. The Olds interior parts were modified to fit, seats are resin Recaro units. The trunk is opened and hinged. Aluminum tubing for exhaust tips. 
oh ya... it’s lowered, I like em low. 
 

Hope you like it, comments welcome

That is really nice! Love  the G bodies! When I was a lad, I envisioned building a real mid 80's Cutlass or Grand Prix pro street car and it looked a lot like this! What I actually drove was a '79 Buick Century salon 4 door with a leaky V6.

Is that a baby seat in the back? Nice touch. The lucky kid!

Hi Mattijs, yes, indeed it is a baby seat. It is still in my parts box though, waiting for another build. Several years ago at a local 1:1 car show, there was a pro street '57 Chev that had a baby seat wedged between the tubs. It put a big smile on my face, and I thought exactly what you thought, "what a lucky kid!!" The seat will end up in something one day. 

Cheers, Steve

She's a beast! Looks amazing, very nice paintwork.

[Mattilacken]

Great build! Looks awesome! 

[1972coronet]

Outstanding ! Such a clean build ; love the extensive modifications you've done ---- looks like that paint is miles-deep ! 

Keep up the fantastic work !

[Plowboy]

That is a wicked cool Cutlass!! I really like how it has a subtle, but punch you in the face look! Pro streets may be out of style. But, I still love them! How could anyone look at this and not think, WOW!!! 

[Spottedlaurel]

That's excellent. The straight bodywork looks great, and it's really nicely put-together.

[crazyjim]

Looks so sinister.  I love it.

[cobraman]

Very wicked looking ride. I hope the baby in that back seat is wearing ear protection !

[Dragonhawk1066]

Oh yeah, that's pretty sweet! Well done!

[Slotto]

Super clean. Love G bodies

Superb Cutlass Steve, I love it, one of the nicest body style!  I wanted to put a twin turbo on my current engine build but I changed my mind to keep the engine bay as original as possible but I will make one with that set-up one day or another!   You really are a tempting demon...   Well done sir!!!

Yes indeed!

Thank you very much for looking, and all the compliments guys. Much appreciated.

I know pro street is out of style, but pretty much everything looks better tubbed  in my opinion. I have a few pro touring builds in my head now too though....

Francis, I will keep my eyes open for your twin turbo build. Already know it will be a killer motor. Thanks for your kind words sir! 

I gotta say, I love how your French accent is ever so subtly noticeable in your typing. Now I need to scoot over to check out your Dodge truck!

Cheers Steve

Very nicely done sir
