Sounds like mine, a '69 by accident and now a work in progress. Andy

Thanks, I never thought about building a spring compressor by myself, but it seems to be realtively easy... Still worried about my fingers, though . Here's another crazy idea: I can put some ramps in front of the frame and drive the front of our Suburban on top of it - aargh - better not

Thanks, I guess I'll try an internal type and let you know if I loose some fingers .

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Would this type work? Ebay </div></div> I'm not sure if I can get the compressor back out through the hole after the suspension is installed. Maybe...

Dave, makes total sense. Unfortunately the frame is bare nacked and the engine is not installed either.

I have completely rebuilt my 69' Cutlass front and rear suspension and want to put it back together, but I have a small problem. What kind of spring compressor can I use for the front springs? The version that clamps on the outside (strut spring compressor) does not fit, and there is only a medium hole for the coil spring compressor. Not really sure what to do? Help! Sorry if this is a stupid question . Andy

Fremont, CA. I sent you an email.

I'm in the middle of a frame off resto and would like to convert the front drum to disk brakes but without buying the complete conversion kit. A buddy of mine told me that I can use pretty much any spindle from a 67 to 72 olds, chevelle and such. Is this true and does anyone know a junkyard in NorCal that might have the spindles? Or should I be able to pick it up just about anywhere? Thx, Andy

Hi, I'm new to the forum (and the Olds family). Previously I restored an '82 Corvette, these days I'm working on a frame off resto for an '69 Olds Cutlass 350 rocket. The car was born in Fremont, just were I live, and I bought it from my neighbour across the street, who was the first time owner. Not sure if it is worth all the afford but I sure have a lot of fun doing the project I will probably ask a lot of stupid questions here in the future, however, if anyone is interested I'm posting pictures of the progress here: http://www.hoepfner.net/cutlass Save the Wave (uups, that is only for Vette owners I guess Andy
