Some of you know I have a project going on with my 1962 F-85 Cutlass, so I figured I'd update here with some pics and brief details.
Business has been insanely busy, I post when I can.
Pics will be sporadic in time frame, so please bare with me.


last time mocked up, from this point on its been on a rotisserie.

Awesome looking mock-up, Mr. WP! Talk about a sleeper (except for the Pro type hood, of course!. Keep the pictures/stories coming.

Couldn't you find a larger hood scoop? That looks like a cool project, wish I could do stuff like that.

Thanks for sharing Brad. Now you have to tell everybody what "UFO" stands for. I punched in your weight, and added a couple pounds for the driver. I came up with 8.51 in the 1/4 mile using this on line calculator-

I know you started building this car a few years back. I really like how you fabbed up the hood. That was a cool thread. I saw this guy had set the record in the sevens, in that class, back in April of last year. It may not be the current record -

My point is, do you think you can be competitive in this class with an Olds, with most of the field running low 8's. I really hope you can, but there's some really fast cars out there. I can't hardly believe this guy dipped into the sevens, naturally aspirated, with a 10.5 inch tire.

I was wondering how long it would be before you brought this over here, I have a semi-similar build going on.

UFO....."Unidentified Flying Olds"....?

Wise Performance

67freak, 2650 with me in it.
"UFO" was dubbed Ugly ****** Olds by by some Chevy guys I hang with, it stuck. lol

Wise Performance

Young Olds, post that project up!

Nice work,UFO no doubt that's the band from the 70s?

UFO is on the trunk lid of the RUN TO RUND 66 w30 car which goes back to 1966. I think they meant it to signify Unidentified Flying Olds.

Wheel tubs final fitted and coated with ruberized truck bed type paint, keeps the rocks from dinging up the wheel tubs.

ive been working on it since i was 17, going on 3 years now, i have a thread i started when i got it. changed my mind alot. recently decided to do a full chassis like yours, just it wont be a tube chassis. First link in my signature is my build thread for it.

Rocks? You gonna mud bog that thing Bradly?

Pits with limestone for parking and/or roadways are the worst. That's one thing we don't have around here anymore.

Young olds, Looks great, lets talk about parts!

Wise Performance

Carbon hood, 12 lbs. OLDSMOBILE letters 2 lbs. lol

Building a template based off the original hood. After alot of bondo and sanding it was ready for the mold.
I have the hood and decklid molds if anybody needs 61-62 parts.
