Turns out Paul Martin/Canuck is the nicest muscle car guy going!!

He sent me a 1969 Oldsmobile starter kit.
Hose clamps, tubes (I don't know where they go but I really like them) front brake drums (non finned) a jack hook, and front turn signals.

I think he wanted the 69 stuff out of the way for the seventies W-Machine build area:-)

THANK YOU PAUL!!!

Ryan, the tubes are for the valve cover breather to air filter, 1970 used them ,Not sure about 69, The drums are for the rear, and that style was used up until 1970 on many w machines.

Perfect, looking forward to using them, on the rear (typed before thinking)

Ryan

Thanks again!!

Received the samples from Legendary, carpet looks the same as SMS, but the headliner material is slightly different when compared close up (which would be very hard to do in real life but I digress)

Started gathering info for rebuilding the engine. Visited a local engine rebuilder but didn't get a warm fuzzy!

Talking to a few Oldsmobile gurus to get a cost effective plan in place. Need to get it right but can't drop it off and start a cash "bond" fire:-) as always a good plan starts with gathering data and quizzing experienced guys.

I plan to build the whole car as original as possible and ready to be driven lots, need to push away thoughts of 1320 for now. Pump gas friendly is a must.

Transmission thought of the day..........Talked to a very helpful expert Jody of Jodys Transmissions as I want to use the M22 but want the M22W gear set (Wide ratio gear spacing to match the 3.42 gears)

Very helpful guy did all the driveline calculations to understand what is best.

Isn't the Internet great!

Found a picture/add from Victor George Oldsmobile with a young (Mike Stevens) lad looking at a brand new 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S W-31 Sports Coupe!!

I guess that is another of the 106 made!

Looks like SS1's and wheel well trim.

What colour do you suppose it is? Could the stripes be any colour you wanted?

Wow Ryan, this car looks great. Wheels, tires, trim; it's got it all. Very nice.

Even at this early age.... It already started to rust - look at that snow on the ground [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

I LIKE IT WITH THE WHEEL WELL TRIM.

I wonder how many got the factory undercoat? I bet the ones that did, have survived.

GREAT PICTURE.
