Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Getting prepared for Sat:-)

Stopped by last night to test fit a few lifting brackets to simplify the rigging. Need to pack up two engine hoists, shackles, straps, etc.

A few of the pictures show the wood blocking between the frame and the body, a few gas tank pictures, and a few showing the floor pan and frame.

making more progress great to see!

Removing all the interior, glass and doors would make your task a lot easier. The lighter the body the better. That way you can lift it by the trunk latch brace in the rear and by the top two fender bolt holes on the top of the cowl. That way requires two cherry pickers. You also can use the seat belt bolt holes from the interior, which only requires one cherry picker. Either way, you need to have the body as light as possible.

I removed my convertible body years ago by pulling the rear up first, using the seat belt anchors. Then lifting the front using the front body mounts. Only one cherry picker needed.

Thanks for the words of wisdom!!

I will combine these nuggets with the plan we have if she doesn't want to go vertical:-)

"Team Weaver" all headed out full of piss and vinegar tonight to buy a parts car, 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible. Gold, gold, white top, 350 column auto.

We are returning empty handed, what a steaming pipe of s##t!!!

Seller honestly felt a lot of the car was usable, but he is incorrect:-(

Wasted some money tonight but some time spent together is ok by me:-)

I don't stay mad long:-)

Now let's get some dinner!!!!

The owner told me it had 4 SS11's with trim rings, replacement bumpers, wheel well trim, 350 olds engine, fan shroud, some items for me some to sell.

I wanted to have it to use little odds and soda, but there was only the ghost of a car left.

I got to excited and jumped in with both feet, better than sitting on my ass any day:-) (trying to somehow justify the expense of taking a truck and trailer for a long drive:-(

Darn it!!

The hunt is just part of the fun. A bad day of car hunting is better than a good day at work!
