There are a few died in the wool Oldsmobile guys who keep an eye on my project and help out without asking. (The list is long)

Ryan

There are good people out there. I love to see car guys helping out other car guys without expecting anything in return.
BTW, I'm getting ready to crack open the Rocket 350 from the 69 Olds. I got it running well, went for a couple of shake down cruises and when I pulled in the yard from the last one she was smoking pretty heavily. That's why it was parked 26 yrs ago. I figure it's time for at least a basic rebuild so I'm going to throw rings, bearings & a valve job at it.

That will get her back in action, freshen her up!!!

Great progress Ryan! Looking forward to seeing the car at a PSMCD event! Keep at it!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks CU guys at MCACN.

I want you to loan me 1% of your motivation!!! You are on fire!!!

Ryan

very cool Ryan, nice numbers.

It was a life bucket list item checked off:-)

Ryan

Congrats !!!
Nice build thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bernard

As always I am on a parts run at MCACN:-) Time to load up my car again.

I have owned the car for 1004 days, 2.7 years. The first 279 days 0.7 year was awaiting our trip to MCACN. This means I have been doing a chassis restoration for 725 days 2 years. I get down on my progress once in a while until I put it in perspective. I am proud of my accomplishments and have so many great parts ready to go on the car!!!

I hope Crash brings a pilot bushing, that has me stopped as I can’t marry the engine and trans:-(

Ryan

I met Crash at MCACN, my pilot bushing got mixed up with a Chevy, I could tell by eye as it was the same size as the bearing I already bought that was wrong from Summit.

I had already chased Jody Hagg about it before MCACN and he has two on the way.

I will take pictures of all the gear I picked up at MCACN, soon.

I made arrangements to have a friend visit each Wednesday evening for 3 hours to work with me on the bottom of the car. I adjusted my budget to sell a few items to make room for this support. I am clearly stuck and need deadlines to get me back on track. (This will help)
