CUTLASS 84 Hurst Olds Rebuild

[Nabob111]

Hi I'm new to using Forums, I bought an 84 Hurst Olds w/ T-roofs. I bought it to bring it back to as close to original as possible with maybe a few modern upgrades. I have almost found all the parts needed for the exception of the lightning rods. They were removed. I do not want to put the Hurst markings back on it with out the shifter. Would anyone no of anyone that would have one to sell.

Welcome to the forum. . Post Some pics of your car when you can. I have a new set of lightning rods but you probably won’t like the price ($3k). You can get clapped out sets for less if you watch eBay closely $1,500

Shoot, I sold the whole NOS shooting match with cable, top plate, screws, shifter, bottom plate, brushes (repro rubber boot) for a paltry 1800. I shoulda kept those....

Thanks I will keep that in mind. Ill take some pics once I get working on it. trying to get all the parts before I disable it. Knowing it is possible to get them I will proceed with the Hurst build. Im also trying to locate a 307 engine. Right now it has a 1977 6.6l witch Im going to rebuild and sell to a trans am guy.
Thanks again and you will probably here from me.

Should be able to start it next month but here are a couple pics. Had to finish my other Gbody project. Needed it done for June 4th. The truck is a 1978 Monte Carlo

onte Carlo frame.

Not to hijack this one but we need information on the truck!!! 😆

I spy some rust up in that T-top channel and down at the bottom of the A-pillar...just be careful when you get into that area, it could be gnarly. Don't know if you ever had a T-top car before but that's a typical "problem" area on these cars. That and vinyl top cars. Usually the naked hard top cars fared the best. But nothing is absolute.

its a 78 monte carlo frame that was built for the pro truck division in saskatoon sask. I just finished rebuilding it for the new race season, the track is a 1/3 mile paved oval.

its mostly surface rust, but still solid for now. Thanks I will use caution when I get into it. It also had some repairs already on the passenger side I need to clean up.
