Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

We had the opportunity to visit with "Pete Leathersac " and his lovely family, we were welcomed and treated like old friends, I was hoping to take them out for Dinner as a thank you but somehow ended up drinking beer and having a wonderful visit "Chez Leathersac ".

What a great outcome of buying a car to make new friends!!!!

Thanks again for the hospitality and another Thank You for putting me onto my W-31:-)

Sam's collection looks awesome! And, yes, the 106 is the build total for your/ my W-31 body style. I haven't seen a break down for automatic versus stick, but the estimate is 40% stick in the 442 model; might be close for the '31 also. The '68 SSll is a rare wheel and I'm glad I'm not trying to find a set......very tough to find.

Thanks for the visit Ryan also our pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife!
It was a beautiful summer evening spent w/ great people made even better when old cars the topic of conversation also really nice seeing how enthused your wife is w/ the W31 project too!
The dinner cruise folks were waving/looking for you when their boat came back also funny thing was in bed last night my wife asked me what exactly is this whole B-Pillar thing? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Finally got to meet &quot;NOrthernforce&quot; Dave and I have been missing each other at Chevelle shows for a few years:-(

Had a great visit and showed off my W-31, we could have chatted for days:-)

Dave dropped off a few goodies for Rick Pauley to drop off at NOCC.

How nice is this, Dave gave me a NOS posi tag, and a nice Chevy hat:-)

I am figuring out the cooling system this week:-)

KA water pump pulley:-)
I haven't been able to see the code KB on the crank pulley yet?
400269 water pump, is also yet to be determined.

I also wonder if the car should have a fan shroud?

What I looked up so far says W-31 had no shroud.....Al (original owner doesn't remember one)
