That's cool that you got all of those parts powder coated as that should last a long time; congrats on the progress of your Olds.

Tough crowd:-)
My main focus of late is to get an engine rebuild plan in place, I have to switch my focus to suspension assembly. Bushings and Ball Joints!! Ryan PS: A huge Thank-You to Terry for helping me get my parts back and forth and back and forth!! Your Kharma tank is on FULL!!!! |

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
Had a very fun visit with FJ Smith in Cayuga today:-)
Great race car and engine building shop, including Superflow Dyno:-) We walked through the entire engine to get a plan/quote put together. I liked the look of the 50+ Wally Parks NHRA (mostly class wins) trophy's quietly sitting on the shelf off to the side:-) I think we are on the same page, as long as we can agree on the details.

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
Thanks guys!!
A little progress to discuss... a "little" progress:-) Bought solvent, Evaporust, cleaner, and goggles:-) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...1-img_4962.jpg Borrowed this bushing pusher/puller to start prepping control arms to install. (Thanks Terry) Got the pieces all cleaned up and need to adapt a collar for each size of bushing to these C-Clamps and we should be go for first part assembled:-) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...2-img_4961.jpg Planned a nice car show this weekend instead of working on the car:-) Dad, RamblerDealer/Terry, and Al Stager (Original Owner of my W31) are coming with me to a Canadian Drag Race History car show. I want to show Al the shiny parts before I start assembly:-) http://www.warplane.com/upcoming-eve...spx?eventId=18 http://dragracecanada.com/automobile...nd/#more-21513 I bought a distributor, 7 connecting rods, and a set of exhaust manifolds with the passenger side heat shield. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...42415-dist.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...17-exhaust.jpg Side Note: How cool is this Peter MacRitchie photo from 1970 at Cayuga 1320 Dragway.

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
One more little item was delivered by my parents from Texas:-)
Gas tank pad from Patton Glade:-) He even added in a clip for the sending unit wire and screws for the trim at the base of the wind shield. (Thanks) Ryan https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...77-42423-2.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...2424-index.jpg |
Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Dan </div></div> Thanks for letting me send parts your way, to ship to Canada is always more than the cost of the nickel and dime parts:-) (these were low cost pieces) Ryan |
Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
Had a great car day today!!!
Dad, RamblerDealer/Terry, and Al Stager attended a Canadian Drag Race History car show. Many great cars, and lots of great memorabilia!! I bought one picture of a 69 W31 race car, and got Olds magazines from FJ Smith (who is quoting my engine rebuild) The visit before we left and on the drive too and from was even more fun than the show for me as I love learning about my cars history:-) A few stories: Al said a Lead mechanic at County Garage had a 427 Vette and left a huge pair of black marks at the local drag race road, so he lit up the W31 and matched them all but three feet. He said a month later when he ran into the Vette owner he told Al the second set of marks had to be his as those two cars were the only local cars that could put that much power to the ground:-) Al also said Lynn liked to drive the car as well and he challenged her to lay down black marks and start on a steep hill before she was "W31 ready". Another gem was that the local street racers had a 1320 marked off with a tobacco farmers measuring tool as they had to accurately measure tobacco fields. He said there were lots of tears (not his) by the local guys:-) I asked why he stopped driving the car and he said he had family and needed to be driving a station wagon and was establishing his career so the car had to sit, no specific issue that sidelined the car just "life". Al said he has a picture at home of the mechanics from County Garage and "Shenk" ? Chrysler next door in Ayr the two groups had formed a team to race to assemble a Model A Ford:-) Sounds like fun. We made plans to go for a drive as soon as the car is back on the road, and to take it back to Ayr and his old stomping grounds:-) (now time to get back to the restoration) We had a few minutes with FJ Smith introductions and such but he didn't have time for a huge engine conversation, many people were excited to meet the Smiths:-) More confirmation that if we can agree on the details this will be a great place to drop my gold lump:-) Terry brought a nice upgraded Hemi Cherokee so we were riding in style:-) A great day was had by all:-) Ryan |
Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
A few pictures to go along with the car show.
This is an original owner Pontiac, so I took a picture of him and Al (on the right) together. I can't remember his name:-( https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...pontiac_oo.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...2-img_4974.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...3-img_4975.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...4-img_4976.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...5-img_4977.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...6-img_4978.jpg |

Yup, same guy:-)
Tony and Al had sleeper dark green 4 speed 350 small block GM cars in almost the same area at the same time but didn' run into or against each other on the street. I really liked Tony's Richmond and race shifter:-) Ryan |
Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
YES, It is a nice shifter.....but the HURST Ram Rod is more period correct for your car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]
