    However, upon looking at my interchange book, I can see that there is indeed a quarter window regulator spring for your '49. Many other makes will interchange with it. These springs will fit your '49- Buick '49-'54, '48-'49 Caddy conv., '49-'53 Caddy, '48-'54 Hudson, '49-'51 Lincoln conv. and Cosmopolitan, '49-'51 Mercury, '48-'49 Olds. 98 conv., '50-'54 olds., and '47-'51 Packard.

    Robert helped me out big time with this on my thread. If you run windows, scroll down to post # 22 here and you'll find the answer he gave me. Worked like a charm http://forums.aaca.org/f163/re-posting-my-52-buick-super-307050.html

    Doug, sorry we didn't run into each other. We were there Friday but not for long. We attended the forum breakfast at 7 am and then we left to spend the rest of the day at the various museums in the area with a stop in Amish country too.

    I can help you with the image re-sizing. First, I need some info. Are you using Windows? If so, what version? Do you know if it's 32-bit or 64-bit (I can help you find this info. if necessary). I can't help if you have an Apple. PM me with the details and I'll try to help.

    Thanks guys, I'll try local before checking CARS and Bob's. I don't think those block-like things are supposed to be there. My guess is they keep the full weight off of the springs during storage? As far as my back goes, I try to alternate between working on top for a while and going underneath on the creeper. Kinda like circuit training lol

    Photo 1-Scraping loads of red clay from Pass. side suspension, cross-member and frame. Unfortunately, this car spent a lot of time sitting in a field somewhere in the south. (I know the 2 most recent previous owners live in Va.) Photo 2-radiator out. Photos 3, 4, and 5- STARTING to look a little better. Photo 6 -Drivers' side awaits. Photo 7- A good e-bay score arrived today-both upper grill bar ext. $60 for the pair .:D Scraping and cleaning is pretty much what I'll be doing all summer. Then after getting a oil pan gasket (where to get anyone?), I'll drop the pan, clean, re-assemble, and attempt to fire her up. Ok, back to scraping...
