[DW31S]

I really don't know any of the fellows commenting on this car. I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the members over the weekend at the SLS. Great bunch of guys!!! Grady, Al G., Bill Rose, and of course Brian and Joe S., although I don't think they posted on this restoration. Donnie, like I said I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, but I read this thread from start to this page and all I can say is WOW!!! You are indeed doing one FANTASTIC job on this car. The car reminds me of a DW/Black vinyl '69 SS396 that a guy I knew had back when I was a teenager. His car had a 4:56 rear and he hated it. Well it was just what I was looking for to use in my '64 Cutlass. Dig this---we swapped drum-to-drum even up. We did the swap and boy! did it wake up my little Olds. He was tired of not being able to drive his car because of the stiff gears, and I wanted exactly that rear because I was racing mine a little. His rear was a hair wider, but it worked because I only had 7" wheels with 7" M$H slicks. The one that went in his car was a little more narrow, but only barely noticeable with the stock SS 5-spoke wheels. Enough of my old Olds story. Anyway, your car looks absolutely superb and I thought I would give credit where it is due. GREAT JOB!!!!!
