Just got my Popular Hotrodding today and noticed Rocky's 65 Cutlass hauling butt around the pylons. Page 82
Congradulations Rocky!
Really looks good.

Thanks it is on there website now. I ran fairly well and my suspension is not even dailed into autocross as it could be if I adjusted it but problem is I can't harley stay in my old school seat as it is or I could push it much harder. Its a good thing I have a wing window post to hold onto.

Great pic Rocky. Nice to see it in a magazine.

I installed my new wheel caps over the weekend. Decided to not paint them for now. Just polished them instead.

That car really stands out in a parking lot, doesn't it?

rockytopper

Well it certainly raises more eyebrows than my Honda HX civic that normally fills that spot. It also makes the 60 mile commute to work a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

Hey Rocky how much does the finished car weigh and do you have the front/rear weight? As you know I too have a 65 Cutlass that I want to put an LS in, probably a LY6/4L80E which will be a bit heavier.
Those wheels and center caps look great!
Thanks

Thanks Brian if it wasn't for your help and others here I wouldn't have been successful. I got word last week the car will be featured in PHR very soon.

Thanks, I'm really not sure how much it weighs never had it on scales, but the driver weighs a TON LOL. FYI your dash is in the mail via UPS did not get shipped until Tuesday.

that looks really good. I drove a 64 f85 in high school. Easy car to drive.

I hope you saved the 330. They have steel cranks that olds people want.

I sold the entire engine to another guy who had 2 65 f-85's

Car made the November Issue of Popular Hot Rodding. Even made it on the cover never would have thought it what a nice surprise.

Hope my F85 turns out as nice someday.

I have always wondered if getting a feature story published increases the value of your car. I would think it would excite a potential buyer if you flashed a magazine article.

Look for it at Mecum it is coming to our area next month we will be testing your theroy. I'm going to lay several of Magazines all over the car to hide the not to straight places LOL.
