So I got another part that will help me in my 2021 goal of reducing my ET to 13.999.

Marty Hodgson (local Olds guy) gave me an Olds O type housing so I can use the perches for my rare 1968 31 spline rear.

Marty is wrapping up a body off resto on a 1969 F85 W31, M21, 433 Sable, gold interior, gold stripes sold new at Belmont!!!

Started cutting the perches off today.

The welds are tough to get to, but free is worth a lot of tough!!!

These perches are difficult to cut off without damaging them, but I did it.

Now I need to dress them up, sandblast, and primer.

Now I know why I never hear about GM A-Body rear end perches getting ripped off at the drag strip. (Solid!!!)

One step closer to 13.999

Weather has finally warmed up enough to work in the garage!!!

I pulled the driveshaft and transmission. (Heavy F@&$er!!) I took the pad off my floor jack so I can make a trans jack adapter. (The trans looks so light as the case is aluminum.... but there are a lot of heavy guts in there)

I am committed now :-)

To celebrate my car selling March 27 “327” 1969 I zipped to Ayr and dropped off my driveshaft for a check at the shop that built it.

I should have gone with a 3” instead of the monster 3.5” when the car bottoms out it touches the tunnel in several places.

They will check for straightness and balance. (I swear a vibration started after I had 5 people in the car and hit a few woopdiedoo (bumps) and it bottomed out. (At the time I assumed only on the rubber bumpers of the rear end....)

Still learning all the time!!
