Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Diego says I am a thread bumper:-) maybe so?

If the thread bump has Diego in it is it really a thread bump? :-)

PSMCDR Was a blast as usual, friends, cars, alligator (to eat), you name it:-) To add to this Diego surprised Casey Marks and I with a little get together.

All three of us have been researching and tracking Project W31, The MSU Michigan State University 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S W31 drag car "project". Diego was able to contact several of the students and put a write up in his book Selling American Muscle. He set it up that three of the students would come to PSMCDR to meet and greet.

They told us stories of getting the car from Oldsmobile, trailering the car, flat towing the car, improving the car, racing the car, and on and on. This was the cherry on top of a sundae weekend!!!! Casey says I was GEEKING out, and I think that is an understatement.

One o the students told us how he thought it would be good to get the car licensed and to get a VIN, so he called Oldsmobile..... oops the car was supposed to have been scrapped.... he caught heck for that!!

One of the students even brought the original key tags:-)

A little forward motion/progress.

Media blasted and used red oxide primer on some engine accessories.

I will paint some semi gloss black and some with leftover 1969 Olds 350 Gold.

Took a high speed trip to Hamilton and back yesterday, missed the rush our traffic mostly:-)

Picked up my master cylinder and water pump, rebuilt at John Stuart Power Brake Co.

I sure hope these rebuilt original parts get wows at cruise nights because I paid 4 times the price of repop:-( Holy S##t

I am getting close to having all the engine accessories completed.......

I have a set of GM embossed Frost shields I got from a Saskatchewan Chev dealer years ago. They go on side windows only, also have GM block heater, Interior car warmer and a pair of G70-14 Polyglas Snowtires, red stripe on one side and RWL on the other.
