Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: junior supercar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wow Ryan, this all looks all too familiar. As you know, I'm doing basically the exact same thing
a few points based on others feedback/comments on the last couple pages
inner fenders are plastic, powdercoating is a bad idea. You don't want to melt them as real Ram Rod/W-31 inners can't be found. but I'm sure you knew that.
center link - I have seen them with a blue tint also
driveshaft loop, the Caruso would work perfectly. I was going to suggest Ram Air Restoration Enterprise as they have a no drill loop.
the finned rear drums aren't correct. the bell or mushroom style right in front are correct.
Hi Chris, it was great to meet at PSMCDR, and MCACN!!!!
Yup, no plastic in the oven:-)
I have the tie rods already, and have the pitman arm and center link on order, I will see what they look like and I am thinking about coating the steering components with Boe-Shield or one of the recommended protectants so my chassis restoration has just that one more step towards perfection:-) (Slippery slope)
I will check that DSL supplier as well.
The have procured non-finned drums for all the way around:-) (The finned rears will be blasted and powder coated for spare, but not machined, if the cost is reasonable)
PS: Remember we found the one side of my car has the W-30,31,32 front fender support bracket and special Phillips screws and the other has the normal non W-Machine bracket and bolts........ you mentioned possibly having an extra........ LMK I can't remember which side, I will have to look.
"OAI W-Machine" wiper washer fluid bottle? (Mine has a little piece missing for the corner, casually looking)
4 speed shifter floor hump out of a rust free donor car?
Ryan
