----Have been friends with Bill P since 1990. We have raced each other and been at the same vintage meets on several occasions. He is the real deal and just a good guy. You couldn't have a better guy to mentor you, Ryan!.....Bill S

I would have bet a dollar you guys know each other. :-)

At some point during MSU Project W31 talk I shared a link to this/my build thread and Bill (Port) was reading through it over a few days. He made notes and had questions that weren’t answered in the thread with page numbers for reference (once an engineer always an engineer)

During PSMCDR one of the MSU Project W31 group sold me a set of MotorWheel Spyders for the front of my Cutlass.

15 X 4.5’s with nuts and centers!!!

Now I need a set of drag tires/front runners.

:-)

I have wanted a set of these for a long time!!!

This weekend Al Corporon and our wives all attended a car show close to our trailer on Lake Huron

Super fun!!!

We even had the opportunity to chat with Wayne Smith. He bought a Garnet Red, Parchment bench, 4 speed COPO Chevelle at Central Chev Olds when the car was traded in at three months old as it was too slow. (The lady that traded it in bought an L88 Vette)

OMG, I'm drooling over the Parchment interior in that Garnet red COPO. Same color combo as we had in my wife's old 69 Impala convertible. Thanks for posting, Ryan!

I have been very focused on getting a tow vehicle and enclosed trailer to be able to attend more drag race events and shows. (Other thread about buying a 2 tone truck)

Now that I have the major pieces of the puzzle solved I need to work out the little details and start using it for the intended purpose.

If I can get all my ducks in a row I am going to attend the FAST/Factory Stock event in New York Empire Dragway. (I am always amazed at what I don’t know……. How did I not know there is a Factory Stock drag race 3 hours from my house……. PSMCDR is 6 hours, so this is a perfect race to add to my annual event list!!!

Another life bucket list item is to Attend the Super Car Reunion and I am making plans to attend that this year as well.

PSMCDR is always on my list!!!

I will also try to fit in one or both or the Olds Club Of Ontatio drag race events (TBD)

Have Fun!!!
