Got some more done this morning. Last I will do before Christmas. All alignments looking pretty good. Will hit it hard again before New years and see if I can get the front end ready for paint. -

Didn’t realize the drivers fender is bent in the same place. Paint on passenger fender was flaking off, so sanded down the whole fender to bare metal. Made some good progress yesterday. Removed the undercoating someone had brushed on the underside of the fender. May not seem like I got far, but progress is progress and puts me one step closer to more assembly -

Back to bodywork. Gotta get the front passenger fender straightened out. Was dented and pinched in the wheel well. Want to get this as straight as possible before I media blast it. The hood has a dent a little off center from the hood ornament, bit the drivers fender is almost perfect. -

Install the first retainer over the u joint. Then install the torque ball with the end retainer over the entire assembly. Install the bolts and leave them loose so the torque ball can move. The seal is for the end of the torque ball and goes over the torque tube. Have to make a .030 paper gasket to go between the torque ball and torque tube. -

1958 Buick wagon headliner bows
jackofalltrades70 replied to Pete Phillips's topic in Buick - Post War
I am currently quoting tooling and a production run. Have a pretty good idea on tooling costs, just ironing out details for how many pieces to run. As long as it doesn’t get too outrageous, we should have parts before spring arrives Matt -

No. Very busy engine shop. They are assembling and installing a few motors this week and just so happens, the owner decided to knock the heads out quick while everyone else was busy. Lucky I guess. -
