Robski's 64 "post" granny special

The 200R4 is being build, the core support and a bunch of other parts are being sandblasted and powder coated. I can say restoring the core support is a major project its self. Lot of parts! As with most of this "Rust Bucket " I had to locate another core support. Some guys on this site and the other Olds sites have e-mailed me asking about the detail on the B-spindle/disk brake upgrade. Appreciate your response and here are few pictures of the finished product. This ride should handle and stop like most of the high $$$$$ pro-touring cars.

OH! I'd love to have something like that for the '65 convertible (Cutlass of course And Lucerne Mist too!

Hey... if I'm going to ask, I might as well ask for it all!

BTW... didn't someone mention they knew someone that did these sort of graphics off of a picture of your own car. If so, I'd like a contact so that once my car is done, I can do that. I'd love to have a framed picture, and t-shirts made.

Leaning towards the "cartoon art"...

Lots of stuff going on, I'm off until the 5th so things need to get done, besides the XMAS honey DOOOS. Pictured the 67400E is sitting in the engine cradle with a 200R4 shell. Ton of sand blasted/powder coated parts are back. My fabbed dual snorkel has a little finish work left, then bought the Olds "red" air cleaner paint from Fusick and get that part of the project done. Should look real good/Nostalgic! I also am painting the 64 breather tube and cap to make it look real stealth. As you can see installing a later Olds pulley set up, at some point during the build Vintage A/C, electric fans, are in order. May be leaning on some of you guys for your experience with these upgrades on these old buggys.

Looks great, keep up the good work! Man, really that's sweet. How did you "fab" up that air cleaner, is that a 65 with an extra snorkel added?

Yes those are two Starfire air cleaners. Thought that would look cool. Thanks for the tip on the paint color. Crap I just bought a can of Olds aircleaner red paint knowing that it would not be close, but still an Olds color. I removed one carefully, measured where I needed to cut the hole ( so it's functionally works. Then I taped the snorkel to the air cleaner, used some spray paint and shot the paint into the snorkel hole-that made the pattern for hole to cut. Cut out the hole and welded the snorkel on from the inside. Then had it sand blasted.

This may be of help to some of you fabricators.

Looks good!
