It sounds like you are off to a great start already Chris! Keep it up and I always look forward to following others racers builds. I have always loved those years Olds. My fave was WJ's black/silver Hurst Olds Pro Stocker.

Go to Dick Millers Web Site.
He has rear suspension components for your car.

I added the Control Arm Brace which joins the lower control arm to the Upper Control arm where the Upper attaches to the Cross Member.
Our 4-link cars have a tendency to crack in these areas.
Cheap insurance and firms up the rear.


Sounds like Pure Stock is taking on a new life...awesome...!

I wonder how it would go if we called it Virgin stock :-)

Re: Pure stock cutlass build up
 

I was looking for a MIG welder in the picture you have. I too am in the process of building my own car, a 65 Impala 396/325 car for I/SA . I do have a head start since I have a lot of the "race parts" from my 68 Impala which was sold and restored back to it'd original 427/425 form>I could not afford to have anybody build it, plus there is a lot of personal satisfaction for me too. I fabricated a lot of my own parts too- right now i am finishing the roll bar and interior . (No back seat) I have a thread up here too- when i was racing 10 years ago I would spend 1 night in a motel, 2 nights in my truck! If you really want to race you can find a way! This whole Pure Stock thing is pretty cool-

Good Luck!

Re: Pure stock cutlass build up
 

Thanks for the well wishes. I probably should have cleaned my shop up a little bit before I took the picture. It was late, and I had never taken a picture of the car. I do have a welder, but it is buried under the junk.

Re: Pure stock cutlass build up
 

Yeah, I remember that car. I also remember Linda Vaughn posing with it on the cover of Hot Rod magazine back in the early '80's...

No worry about how your shop looks ,my shop is about in the same shape right now .I am cheap and a pack rat .
