Got some more done this morning. Last I will do before Christmas. All alignments looking pretty good. Will hit it hard again before New years and see if I can get the front end ready for paint.

Trunk lid from car I parted out. Has had some previous bodywork along the bottom lip. See photos and I can take more if needed $500.00. Pickup preferred, bit can check shipping

Purchased these for my build, but are for larger series. Bases should clean up nice. Chrome needs replated, but in good condition $500.00. Buyer to pay packing/shipping costs thanks Matt

This is a spare set I had for my rebuild. Mine are out for chroming and these are for sale $500. Buyer pays for packaging and shipping thanks Matt

Didn’t realize the drivers fender is bent in the same place. Paint on passenger fender was flaking off, so sanded down the whole fender to bare metal. Made some good progress yesterday. Removed the undercoating someone had brushed on the underside of the fender. May not seem like I got far, but progress is progress and puts me one step closer to more assembly

Back to bodywork. Gotta get the front passenger fender straightened out. Was dented and pinched in the wheel well. Want to get this as straight as possible before I media blast it. The hood has a dent a little off center from the hood ornament, bit the drivers fender is almost perfect.

Great news from my plater. They have already got the parts in the stripping tank. Gonna be sooner than I thought.

First time car has had an engine and transmission in over 50 years.

Install the first retainer over the u joint. Then install the torque ball with the end retainer over the entire assembly. Install the bolts and leave them loose so the torque ball can move. The seal is for the end of the torque ball and goes over the torque tube. Have to make a .030 paper gasket to go between the torque ball and torque tube.

Install new o rings. Making sure to use plenty o vaseline to lubricate the seals

Have to cut the old vulcanized rubber off the torque ball. Then clean up the torque ball surface.

Have everything cleaned up and new seals ready to install. Installing a flight pitch. Pictures to come soon and detailed descriptions

Progress is progress. Another coat of paint and hook the tranny back up. Then stab it in the car again

And some marine stabil in the tank

Taking the 47 to winter storage this morning. Cleaned and waxed. Two buckets of damp rid for good measure.

I am currently quoting tooling and a production run. Have a pretty good idea on tooling costs, just ironing out details for how many pieces to run. As long as it doesn’t get too outrageous, we should have parts before spring arrives Matt

SOLD

No. Very busy engine shop. They are assembling and installing a few motors this week and just so happens, the owner decided to knock the heads out quick while everyone else was busy. Lucky I guess.

Dropped heads off two days ago. Just picked them up. New valve guides and valves. Heads decked. Very happy!

I have some original King Bee mirrors that were used on 42-48 Buicks. I used a set on my 47’ 76c. See pictures $100 each pair shipping/packaging cost of buyer thanks Matt

I bought the set and only used the drivers side rocker. $50 firm. Buyer pays packaging and shipping costs or can pick up 18411 thanks Matt
