bradsan Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm trying to get side valance panels fabricated for my 1925 25 Touring. My second attempt at finding a shop that could do the work resulted in the loss of the original patterns in the process! ARRGGGHI traded emails with Peter at Old Era a few years back (yeah, it's a long term project) when he had photos of the same product on his website but the shipping to Canada was a bit of a killer. Peter looks like he does mostly repro Chevy stuff but he had an extensive listing of patterns for other makes and quite a bit of 20's Buick stuff.Not sure if he still does the work but I thought I'd ask around before I pester him again.Hoping someone (especially our Aussie friends) can provide some feedback. If it's any help regarding my expectations, I don't think I'm fussy but to me, a reproduction means just that, not a loose modern interpretation based on limited tooling resources, and I'd expect them to be ready for paint.As usual, if its good, post it here, otherwise please send me a PM.Thanks in advanceBrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 An Aussie Buick may have a locally made body, so it could be different to a North American bodyhttp://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/features/1412/old-era-panels/http://www.oldera.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
