Busy night. Set windshield glass in the rubber to let it sit fer awhile. Replaced the window guide rollers for the door windows, painted the header for the convertible top and mounted the headlightbuckets with new gaskets. Oh, dis I mention that my rubber came in??? Maybe some grill teeth tomorrow. Matt

Took a little more than 3 hoirs to accomplish this next feat......clean,disassemble,clean,prep,paint,mask,paint,unmask,clear! Whew! Then had to bolt the medallion on the hood ornament and then on the hood.

Since the clock is ticking down to Allentown, time I got my rear in gear! A LOT of assembly work today. A LOT MORE to follow

Happy New Year to all of you Buick Bretheren and Sisters also Matt

There is so much "blue" in my garage, the chrome is hard to see.

Don't know how I missed this thread, but congrats and bravo! I get excited when I see stories of people saving these old cars and much more so when it is younger people that are involved. You are doing great and I look forward to more as your adventure continues. Matt

Merry Christmas to you and yours also! Give your mom and dad both higs from a complete and total stranger. I miss my parents terribly. Especially this time of year! Happy New Year Matt

Got most of my chrome back from the plater for my 47' convertible

I will also say "ditto"'on you are lucky to still have your mother. On the other hand, I got most of my chrome back from the plater on the 24th.

I think at this point, I would pour a little oil in each plug hole, put the plugs back in, crank it over a bit, then pour a good "little" amount of gas in the carb with the throttle wide open. Put the air cleaner back on and crank it over with the battery charger hooked up and on high. The oil will help the compression come up just a bit on the first time you crank it with gas.
