    A lot better than my first[ or second] attempt. Ben

    Couldn't agree more! My '50 made it to Concord and back, 2000 miles. Yours should do it as well. Jump in and get your feet wet. Ben

    Good answer. Especially the "enshrine" comment. And the last line is very apt. Ben
  5. Ben Bruce aka First Born
    My thoughts exactly!! Ben

    Mr Packard would be proud!! Ben

    A real good possibility. Ben

    1900 MILES?? That is neat. Maybe you could start a new thread in ME and My Buick and fill us in in the history and perhaps a few pictures. Ben

    Jake , you must spend more time on the computer than me. Looks like a nice start for a build, but a little pricey, especially sans engine. Ben

    Nice shots, Mike. That ,50 was in Ames. Hope all of you are enjoying yourselves! Ben

    Dave, Per '50 shop manual, which is the oldest I have, but bearings are the same. Tighten bearings with a 10'' wrench until bearing is preloaded at least one hex. Rotate wheel one revolution to be sure bearing is seated. Back off spindle nut until bearing is slightly loose. Tighten until all bearing looseness is just removed.Line up nut to closest cotter pin hole and install cotter pin. CAUTION; bearing preload must not exceed 1/12 turn of spindle nut. Hope this helps. Ben

    I am envious, guys. Think about me?? Ben

    dude, if like the '50, pretty difficult. But then, my back glass is three piece and windshield is two piece. Ben
  20. Ben Bruce aka First Born
    Are you serious?? Ben

    WillBilly, I bought mine for the '50 from Cars, Inc. It came from Steele. Ben

    Dave, if I missed it, has the radiator been pulled and rodded and boiled out? If not ,for what my thoughts are worth, you are p***ing in the wind. I have NEVER seen and old vehicle that overheats that could be "fixed" otherwise. Perhaps you will be the exception. Hope so. Ben

    Rob, I think it is great that you are going to bat for him,but is he even still in the game? He has failed to answer your question from 1st day. Ben
