KSR Cutlass Episode 2!! What Do We Need to Cut Out??

A little more detailed look at what we are starting with on my Cutlass?? I have learned alot in the 15 years since I last worked on this thing, so some of the stuff needs to come back out and be redone before we can move forward!!

Champ, I've been watching Project Binky nigh on 36 years, another year or so following this ripper build is going to be a piece of cake. mmmmm cake 🤤😂✌🇦🇺

[@quickdeuce]

So happy to hear Kev has NO PLANS to chop the Olds up to go where he's planning to take it. He's going to keep the car's look and personality. After all it is his FIRST CAR and the look is a big pat of why he bought in the first place,, that AND the fact he could have the car for a mere $200. We're soo looking forward to this build Kevin. There's literally 100's of thousands of the 'G' body car's out there,, at least a few thousand are hotrods and at least a few hundred are on the drag strip making their owners smile :)

[@j2kinflarc768]

I love G bodies!! I had a couple back in the late 80’s early 90’s. Nothing that awesome 😂 can’t wait to see it in all its new glory!

[@mavman351]

Kevin, I remember racing with you and Charlie Poindexter years ago in street sportsman. The Rollins boys were in the 11's with their novas and lea was running 12s in that white van. I had and still have my Ford Maverick. she has been sitting as long as your cutlass has! Let me say this, your cutlass is the only GM product I care to see run, I'm just a true blue Ford guy. I can't wait to see it run at Gainesville again. Some of the best times of my life were at that track. God bless you and your family man, look forward to seeing you at the track!! Alan

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Awesome! Charlie stops by the shop a couple times a week! Small world!

[@mavman351]

I'd like to stop by and get a photo with you and some merch as well. I'm in Ocala, I'll call ahead to see if your there. I do not want to stop productivity in the shop, just a real quick photo! Blessings!

[@funify11x]

I remember your car and kevin and lea, good times back then, I had a wed nite see how fast it would go and not tell vega wagon back then lol. Now only memories and kevins channel keeps me pumped up for the speed. And dreams of doing it again one day before i cant.

[@PontiacForever]

Best channel on KZbin. KSR rocks!

[@aDumtreeF85]

I absolutely admire that ur keeping it a Oldsmobile motor.

[@josephmower193]

Very excited to see this come together

[@kapryiath]

Glad to hear your still involved in Cleetus and Mullet :)

[@changedman...3148]

I love Oldsmobile, can't wait to see it done...

[@jamieschnowske4981]

Looking forward to the build take your time and be happy with it

[@jerrytredgett2182]

Great video Sounds like you've given it plenty of thought Looking forward to the next update

[@jasonstanford]

Looking forward to see what kind of goodies you throw in her and what she can do.

[@BenjySparky]

Kevin you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

[@B-U-C-K-S-H-O-T]

Fire. Me. Up. Love the plans and ambition Kev and if anyone can do it; you can for certain.

[@dadgaming1429]

always look forward to your build videos Kevin and crew, it's the best content you release.

[@jasonpeters9390]

Glad Derek from vice grip said check you guys out and you sir have a great way of explaining things going to keep on watching this great chanel

[@thebishop74]

I'm super keen to see this project progress, great car with great history, should make for great content!

[@zachblair463]

Cars like these always make think of the ship of theseus...

[@curtismuma1931]

Get er done !!!!

[@uproutdoors7070]

Super excited for this build!

[@alfadoofus]

Awesome can't wait to the progression

[@ohllysgarage3668]

This is awesome. Love the history on a car that has been owned for decades. I still have my high school car and it sat 22 years, got it back out last year and it really cool to look at the work I did on it back when I had no clue what I was doing. Makes me miss those days a little.

[@2low78mjones8]

Badass man! I say it all the time. I'm so pumped for this bulid

[@Phil_Bennett]

I would personally keep the drip rail, and shouldn't be hard to get a hand made section done up to repair that rust, keep it all OG looking 👌 Pretty pumped I must say! good motivation as I'm starting on my first car I've had for 20+ years soon too!

[@patcoder7308]

When I was much younger had 82 cutlass shoehorned a425 in it !

[@2Moza]

Well mate the only thing missing is the work starting on the Car so having said that i and the rest who follow you are looking forward to the Start:) Nice update Kevin :).

[@michaelmeyer1384]

I am excited to see your build, cool history with you and this car.

[@TheBlueberry606]

This should be good. Do IT! DO IT!

[@bundy69]

Its a good day when I get a ksr upload notification !!!

[@richardmiller4104]

I am looking faward to this build. Thanks.

[@lostones7335]

Thanks Kevin!

[@aslacker]

Gonna be a Great build series Kevin.

[@Sean-i4r]

TRZ must be so grateful. When you're done rebuilding it,I'm curious to see if they promote it again for it was the first

[@54inches]

Derek @ Vice Grip does great Body work!

[@rmee5165]

Love the "Spruce Supports" above the axels . LOL

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

So when I put the car upstairs originally.....one of those fell out and I drove over it with one side of the fork lift with the car 10+ feet in the air. I about had a heart attack!!!

[@jjsgarage1966]

Like the new ending music!

[@precisiondiesel225]

I removed the drip rails off my Gbody. It too was a half vinyl top car. People will claim that removing the drip rails will remove strength from the roof. That’s completely false. The drip rails were a thing back in the 80s 90s due to the frameless door windows.

[@eriklarson9137]

I am confident Kevin knows more than those people. Lots of people say lots of things. PS. Drip rails have been around a teeny bit longer than the 80s. ;)

[@LRogan520]

Really looking forward to seeing yours come together! Just going to be so nice to see it change from today to your next step of your " build .

[@mikeh.748]

Golly Kev, you sure do have some work ahead of you. In addition to a leaky heater core....... big giant Moose cups( refillable cups that Hardes you to have back in the day ) of Coke will eat a hole right through a floor board. My buddy spilled the whole cup on the pass side of my nice clean 79 Camaro. We thought we cleaned it up pretty well. We didn't. Coke ate a nice clean hole right through the floor board. Super clean car, and here's a giant hole in the floor right where the spill was. You've seen and heard how corrosive Coke can be? Well...... it's true. Unfortunately I saw it first hand. I wonder what it does to our body?Think about that for a second. I love your videos Kevin. You explain things very well. Keep em coming.

[@DandersonGM]

I am beyond excited to watch this build!!!

[@stephenolds5280]

I would love to see a Modllo big block on this car....you have a lot of work ahead of you

[@jcnpresser]

I’m pumped on this olds build.

[@iansprojects3081]

I do love them old Oldsmobile engines I had a 74 cutlass supreme (wich I wish I never would of got rid of the car) with a 67 rocket 350 punched out 355 and the biggest crane cam I could get In it with stock heads and it transmission work when I was 18 and it was as fun

[@fordinpossession]

I can't wait a year to see this run 7's! (But I will, because I know you're doing it right) and I can appreciate that. I miss my Cutlass.

[@llvanderhoek1406]

This is going to be one for the books.

[@2koolchris291]

Can’t wait to see the old “gutless” cutlass back to her old glory. I really like these cars. I want to build one to race too. I love the style.

[@phillipgoering1890]

Not saying they’re impossible to find but a lot of the gbody metric cars were turned into dirt track cars

[@robk4620]

My son just completed the body work on his first car, an '86 Grand National. He shaved his drip rails because of rust issues and to clean up the body lines. It looks great.

[@d.b.cooper6695]

Take your time Bud You of all people know if it isnt right it will drive you insane lol And we all know that first and foremost your kids and the shop are first pryority. The old Cutty will get done and done right it will just take time.

[@lancemclean9273]

Gotta love a Cutlass. I have 2 :). Love ‘em Both

[@Nerdless42]

Busy busy can't wait to see the cutless

[@umbraelegios4130]

Love that race tech, ratchet strap and wood plank rear suspension. Lol

[@markdigirolamo5866]

Really looking forward to see what that Olds small block can do! I love the idea of keeping it Olds powered! 👍🏻

[@bepbep7418]

If he steps up, I think he should do an Olds 455 build.

[@WarpedHorizon]

Put the vinyl top back on! Will look hilarious running 7s!

[@kenwillis8487]

My first ticket was in a 1970 cutlass 442 . I was 16 no license as my dad was making me wait till I turned 18 due to grades! The judge had other plans and ordered me to take drivers Ed and get my license! Which my dad promptly took from me for a bout a week till he didn’t want to get up to take me to work at 5 am on a Saturday!

[@chicagovasko]

I love the roll up windows.

[@DullBoyJack]

Looking at your old work and cringing a bit just goes to show your growth as a fabricator. If you looked at this car and didn't find much wrong, then you haven't learned anything! Excited to see where this goes...

[@scottryan9845]

I just bought my first real race car, and need to do some upgrades to it ,I will be watching your vids to help me along with my car ,alot of chassis upgrades.

[@coreybair9426]

I liked the little poke at Cleetus about writing a check for a SMX to go fast. I can't wait to see the ole girl come together 👍

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I didn't mean for it to be a poke, but more to say that proven big power combos are much easier to come by than they were when I took this car apart in 2006

[@coreybair9426]

@@KSRPerformanceFabrication I know you didn't mean it to be. I know what you mean about the road less traveled. It's not as rewarding being a lemming. Be that mountain goat standing at the peak making people scratch there heads and ask "How did he get up there?!" Be the goat!

[@gradycooper7416]

Awsome cutlass cant waiT to see a pass

[@chookchook5600]

Be Noice to see that whole old chassis to go and finish it with all tube work, A damn lighter "Quicker"

[@PSwayBeats]

good day to you sir may your builds be quick and easy with no problems

[@RobGriffiths]

When you were talking about the 'Cut'lass, i was expecting a Drew with sawzall/deathwheel to spring up from somewhere :) This is gonna be a fun build to watch.

[@JamesEsau]

You just know Drew's gonna have a blast cutting on this car

[@oldscut84]

I still own my first car i got over 20 years ago. A 1984 Cutlass Supreme now with a turbo 5.3. Nothing too impressive but still 100% street car. I will follow your build for sure !! Keep up the good work !!!

[@f5garage401]

Lots of work on cutty. Cool project

[@99goat99]

First lift on the new lift - I felt that too, for ...reasons

[@fishandfabrication7446]

I love that you are keeping the olds engine in the car for now I know I like seeing how much power the stock engine is capable of

[@roostercogburn2600]

I'm excited that you're gonna run the olds motor. It's really cool to see something different.

[@ackilbits]

If you cut the driprails cut them in 1 inch wide pieces and weld it up up as you cut piece by piece. It keeps the gap you have to weld nice and tight

[@patrickspringer6534]

I'm not complaining but the music at the end of this video is much better than most of your other videos! Keep up the good work!

[@markellis796]

I was thinking around a year t do it, but that's ok, looking forward to watching the process.

[@riverrat1284]

Can’t wait to see what kind of power a turbo olds motor makes. Keep up the great work, and I’m hoping to get down to LS Fest again this year, and bring y’all some more Ski

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Sweeeet! Planning to be there!

[@shaunjeffries4841]

Can't wait to hear that non-small block/non-big block Olds motor running.

[@jeffausbun]

I enjoy hearing the technical aspect of your builds.

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

Looks like another Dragweek contender you've got on your hands Kevin. I wish I could have kept my first car but unfortunately XB Falcons rust faster than the Mullet runs the 1/4 mile. 🤣😂🤣 Good luck and have fun with the build.

[@AuntBessiesRecipies]

I am SO excited by this build. Good luck Kevin. She’ll be in the 9’s in no time.

[@kennyrichard2971]

Wow never realized how much work it takes in order to go fast it’s going to be fun watching you build up the cutlass 👍

[@claylittleton8414]

I really love seeing old dogs brought back and made mean and fast again. I think with so many old race cars gathering dust in thousands of barns around the country bringing them out of the shadows and given a new life could be an exciting niche market in the go-fast world. I can't wait to how your old Olds turns out and see it run after so many years. Good luck and good on ya, man.

[@markjobypaintin5222]

3.7 second pass at Santa pod today the first ever 3.7 top fuel in Europe and we had a 3.8 dead the pass before Great show as ever kev all best from uk 🇬🇧

[@don-e4838]

I've always been a fan of G bodies, looking forward to this build.

[@aproudamerican2692]

Do what ya gotta do for your customers and we'll still be here whenever ya post.

[@79huddy]

Smokey Yunick did a good job designing the factory Oldsmobile heads back in the day

[@frankallenjr8549]

Olds power will be awesome!

[@VFR75O]

I had an m-body Chrysler in high school that I had to unfortunately sell do to moving. Maybe one day I'll find another one. It's pretty cool that you've been able to keep this car all these years.

[@jonathanallen9205]

I would love to see you do a 403 olds motor, swap in some 455 heads and a 455 crankshaft with stock length rods. Basically makes a 427 and use aluminum heads, they have those now. Maybe a prochatger. But I built one just like that and in 1998 it was about 850 hp at the wheels. I miss that car and motor. But the car was an 85 Hurst olds. Alot of time and money back then. Destroyed in seconds. But the torque, the hp and the indestructible olds motor made one hell of a force to be reckoned with. But the heads I had I got from Dr. Olds before he died. Took 6 months to get them.

[@davidcarberry3547]

i bought a 79 Monty Carlo with a 260 something in it ,it took a block to get to 55 , i wish i still had the car, the motor didn't last long, gona be a cool car

[@Harleybobber]

The Gutless Cutless! I love that car! Love from Knoxville

[@juniorjohnston4951]

Good luck with trying to get that Olds small block in the 7's

[@brianproffitt7263]

It’s cool that your running an Oldsmobile motor 🤟🏻

[@dwaynegilkes3544]

Had a 82 best friend had a 78 loving this build

[@jeffboyer8214]

Take 1 down and place one back lol ! Rough Olds! But you & the team know how to make it light and fast. 380 small block isn't a slouch especially if you add 67 mm turbo with head studs with a chiller & cr of 9:5.1 / 10:5.1 turbo safe ratios unless you go e85 then you can get wild. We will see what you all come up with. Be safe all

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

It’s getting at least an 88mm and it’s 11:1 ;)

[@foreverendeavors6210]

I have the upper rear end adjustable control arms you originally bought for that car, tig welded, adjustable, nice! they were on the counter at "the last shop" you were at, you had just got em in, and I wanted em, you were such a nice guy you sold em to me, I still have em..

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

Kevin can't wait to see all the updates on the Cutless. The lighter the better. Always awesome content 👍💯 Aussie Fan 🤟🇦🇺😎

[@johnbeverly1653]

I'm excited to see a Olds motor with turbos

[@rodhands9418]

Use panelbond its the stuff they glue roofs on to some newer cars

[@gbodysandmotors]

I love the stories that come behind the car g body love💯

[@TheSecreteacret]

I meant to tell you in Indy, that I am super happy to hear you're keeping the Olds engine in the Cutlass

[@erikrobbins4792]

NNOOOOO!!! A year! Just kidding but I am super excited to see how this g body turns out.

[@shawnpavlik209]

Def plan on a big block

[@ItsJustADick]

I can’t wait for the “finished” product of your ideas!!

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Definitely excited to see this car get rolling. Your first car is always sentimental. Also, completely understand that you have a million things going on and a million cars to build, but I'll be here when it rips!
