Smartin Member Registered: 03/04/02 Posts: 1919 Loc: St. Charles, MO	Bigger is better! It seems I am going to need to invest in a cut-off wheel...and lots of replacement blades. Every nut and bolt/screw is rusted solid. _________________________ Adam Martin Gateway Chapter Assistant Director www.buickpartsdirectory.com www.buickcenturion.com www.gatewaybca.org 1971 Buick Centurion Formal Coupe 1958 Buick Limited Four Door Riviera

Smartin Member Registered: 03/04/02 Posts: 1919 Loc: St. Charles, MO	Ripped the seats out today...and vacuumed another 30 lbs of crap off the floors. I can actually see how much rot I have now. The front seat was as heavy as the entire front clip of a Camaro!

JohnD1956 Member Registered: 03/29/03 Posts: 2432 Loc: New York	Nice. My family used to own a 55 with the under seat heater, and my 56 does not have an under seat heater. I just assumed 55 was the last year for those. _________________________ John C.

Smartin Member Registered: 03/04/02 Posts: 1919 Loc: St. Charles, MO	I was stumped by the appearance of the heater line. I had never seen or heard of one prior to seeing that. That was the only thing that made sense, though. Now I REALLY need more room. This is going to be a tough job in a 2-car garage, having to share space with another beastie. I may have to figure something else out about the storage situation. _________________________ Adam Martin Gateway Chapter Assistant Director www.buickpartsdirectory.com www.buickcenturion.com www.gatewaybca.org 1971 Buick Centurion Formal Coupe 1958 Buick Limited Four Door Riviera

JohnD1956 Member Registered: 03/29/03 Posts: 2432 Loc: New York	This car does look like it will take quite a bit of work to cut then fabricate and install new patch panels. Wish we could be there to help you. _________________________ John C.
