Trust me when I say this....coming from another newb There is nothing that you can't do on your Buick when you have some tools, a shop manual and an internet connection directed right to here. Yes it helps to have others around for guidance and assistance but it sounds to me like you know your way around the car enough for you to do almost anything. Take lots of pictures of anything you want to fix, post them here and you will get all the info you need. Need parts?? Just ask here and people will help you find them. I can't tell you how much I have learned from everyone here... BTW....What are your future plans for your Roadmaster?
