Looks like they ordered the flood crossing upgrade.

Nothing says Olds like a set of Chevy rally wheels.

Or the 350 sbc under the hood, although GM threw a 305 factory more than likely in it to begin with. Wow, a mild cam, headers and an Edelbrock intake is all that is needed for 420 hp, I need to switch to a sbc. An Olds V8 would go under the hood. Those striped light covers scream the 80's but I would leave them on, what the hell. I would put on Olds center caps, if they would fit along with taller rubber. I always thought those Butless Cutlass need a tastefull spoiler to finish off the back end. The front end with a blocked off grill is asking fo overheating problems.

I actually think that might look pretty cool in a phantom billet grill execution.
That thing definitely needs some aesthetic love: bring it down to reality, lose the Rally wheels, cut that sore dik of a puny tailpipe back, lose the SS stripes, and a bumper shave/tuck wouldn't hurt. I'd rock the hell out it.
