Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

So Dad and I worked at my FIL's Igloo today:-)

We removed the gas tank, cut a few bolts, a few came out willingly.

Then my camera shut right off:-( (I will catch up on pictures mid week.

We then cut five body bolts (the two at the front for speed) but 3 at the back due to spinning nuts:-( We then jacked and blocked the body about 6 inches up off the frame:-) We are ready with 4X4's, cinder blocks, engine hoists, body cart/ark, for Saturday!! We will be out of the Igloo Saturday!!!

I am concerned about the pitting of the frame but will have to wait and see how deep it is, I don't really care as the original frame will be used no matter what, I won't mess with the soul of my car by swapping frames.

The floor pans are very very nice, everything I am seeing underneath is spectacular!! This makes me happy as The costs of welding in new metal would add up quick. I see the Ziebart did it's job and saved this car!!!

Nice progress.....bad timing for your camera to die [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Too bad Ziebart process did not cover the entire frame.....it would have been mint [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Dan: Agree the Ziebart must not have covered the frame?

Pete: You are welcome at the igloo any time, let me know!!

All: These are the few pictures I got. I had zero extra time to drive home and pick up my charger:-(

Both air shocks were full of pressurized air........funny I was not expecting anything to happen when I removed the first line and pssssshhhhh.

The picture with the air shock in it is a good example of how minty the floors are and how crusty the frame is:-) This makes me happy, if it was the other way around there would be very little left of the car.

The final bunch of pictures are the rubber mat placed above the gas tank, both sides.

The tank and sending unit look in ok condition, but they will be replaced with Spectra (entire fuel system will be new or rebuilt original)
