Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Bought Lucas rear end gear lube, need to stop by the Ford dealer for posi additive:-) Gasket on order.....

I bought a Battery Tender and I don't even have a battery:-) The price of the R59 Delco repop battery has me a little she'll shocked so I want to give it a good long life with a nice trickle charger:-)

Note: If you are getting one of the R59 reproduction batteries that is the sealed, maintenance free, gelmat (AGM) style and not an old acid filled, wet style, make sure you have a battery tender specifically for that type of battery. Some of the tenders are not compatible with both styles.

I assume this was the battery you were looking at?

don't spill any of that ford additive on yourself, it's one of the most vile odours known to man.

Thanks Steve: I really appreciate info like this, I would not have thought to check this. (While it is still in the package I can switch it out if needed)

I don't want to smell like a Ford:-) (JOKE)

I shared this thread with the Stagers so they would understand what I plan to do with their ol car, also to offer for them to share in the MCACN experience. Everyone loves chatting with the original owner of a cool Muscle Car!!

I was concerned they wouldn't get it, but both were very happy to see such a great group of car guys sharing info and ideas.

Plan to have a little BBQ with the Stages and the Weavers.

PS: If I am a little quieter than normal in the next month I am building decks and doing patios with Dad:-)

I found this article on the Class of 1970 MSU engineering Project W-31

I would have got an A+ in this class!
