Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Thanks Damien!!

Funny, I bought 4 double 4 foot T8 fixtures and a box of day light bulbs, and BX, connectors, anti shorts, etc.......this way I can save the flashlight for special occasions:-)

I also measured everything and made a layout for the garage and sketched up some desperately needed shelves!!! (Including the extra engine, trans, compressor, Jack, garbage can, etc..... All the stuff I am tripping over at every turn.

A big thank you to Dave (northernforce')

He spent New Year's Eve searching for a set of trailing arms to donate to my resto project!!!

How nice is that?

Many thanks Dave!!!

Ryan

PS: he sent me a link to a friends website especially for the control arm information. I checked the uppers last night at midnight as I couldn't wait till the morning to find out if mine are the "12 bolt style" (corner cut and extra plate welded in place) or "10 bolt style" mine are "10 bolt style" as the Olds 12 bolt is actually a 10 bolt rear with 12 bolts holding the cover in place.

Nick is like a dog on a bone!!!

My transmission will be the first part of the car to be ready for use:-)

"Ryan,

I started to look through the new parts already delivered. I am still waiting for the gear set which is sitting at my local FedEx office. They should be here tomorrow. I also looked closer at the parts I intend to reuse and found that this trans had 1 “wide” hub and 1 “narrow” hub. See the attached picture. Either one will work but they should match the brass. This trans had the brass for the wide hubs. I should have a wide hub which is what the trans came with originally. Narrow hubs started in 1969.

Hello Terry.

Welcome to the site, there is little to no drama here and so many great car guys!!!

I have a prediction you own a Post Sedan Rambler Drag car...........I have seen it at the show on Main Street but couldn't find the owner anywhere.........

Your offer to help out with your tilt load truck is very generous, very Canadian of you!!!

Ryan

PostSedan (Dan) is my good friend, he always has my back!!! He is a giant so I like having him on my side:-)

Ryan, the '64 Rambler drag car is mine, but I just bought a new to me barn find. The week before Christmas
I bought a '71 Hornet SC/360 out of a barn in Wisconsin. It's rough and incomplete but the real deal. The
car is now in a friend's shop in Detroit while I wait for the title.

I am a big fan of Barn Finds!!!!

A few guys race these at PSMCDR and they are very competitive (13.?) I see a blue one and a green one depending on the year. (Other than that I have never seen one, ever)
