My uncle Lu Dunton in my dad's #89 race car. It was wrecked soon after the photo but not sure if it was that race. My dad talked about his Miller Ford a lot so I presume it was one of those but he did have others with converted Hisso airplane engines. Lu went on to live a long life. Dave

Try PB Blaster or other penetrating oil instead of the wd40 Dave

There have been quite a few of the end frames reproduced over the years since some of the pot metal ones start to crumble. If you could post the part number that is on the generator tag it would help. Some one may have a good used end frame and the part number or a picture would help. I have been told anytime you take a generator off it should be polarized so I do it. Good luck on a worthy cause. Dave

I had one that was cracked and searched for sometime looking for a good replacement. No luck but you may find one. There is a poster (Paul S)on this site that welded mine. He did a great job and has been holding through many heat cycles. Check out my post Exhaust Manifold Repair and all the info in the Technical section, October 1, 2020. Dave

My GG tank is great. Never any problems and the car starts fast after sitting way too long. I would probably pick it up as a spare when it comes time to sell. Dave

I have not had mine apart but maybe the picture might help. Dave

Here are a few-24 Chevrolet, 31 Buick 60 Dave

I had just bought the 62 and sold the 70 Camaro to my good friend George. We managed to stay friends even after the transaction. Dave

A previous owner whittled a couple of wooden plugs for the oil line in and outs which let the coolant seep out. That repair is odd since they did a good job on the by pass line. Dave

Incase you change your mind here are the AC instructions for adding their filter to Buick's ,written about 1940. Rounding up all the correct parts might be a challenge. Dave

This is what the by pass on my 31 oil warmer looks like. It was done by the previous owner. Dave

Very nice. I noticed you have Titebond and Gorilla glue. Do you use each for a certain kind of joint or interchangeable? Thanks Dave

Yes, the museum in Georgia is the Savoy and named as TAKerry mentioned. They did save the rusty hulk and gave it a place of honor outside but I can't find my pictures of it. Dave https://savoymuseum.org/

That is a nice building, I worked there for a few years. It is three floors it will be interesting to see how they set it up. Dave

This one is on a 24 Chevrolet Roadster. I lost the contact info on the gentleman who sent it to me but it was his father in law's car. Dave

I would contact Then and Now Automotive https://www.then-now-auto.com/ They will be able to id it, rebuild it, or sell you a kit to do it yourself. Dave

My 31, 60 series has 19 inch rims. Dave

Not sure on the bolt. I would ask on the Buick pre war forum. May be a place for a weight. Is it opposite of the valve stem? Dave

My car is not as fancy, wood wheels and a rear mounted spare. Yours is very nice. Normally I would suggest we exchange private messages (pm's) on the forum but you may need more posts to be able to do it. So send me your contact info to my email doc81709@yahoo.com. You and your dad have a nice car. Dave

Austin, I had good luck with the ad here and in the Bugle. I ended up with one that was very worn and missing a spring. I had a spring from my old one and put it in but was unsure if it would stay. A clutch shop would be able to tell. You can have it for shipping, about $30 bucks, may be less. Dave

Tim W, I would post your part needs in the wanted section here and on the Vintage Chevrolet site here https://vccachat.org/ Dave

I think you are right. Has the updraft carb which disappeared in 32. Dave

It is a 32. Nice. Dave

Interesting. I don't think the Delco grommets will work on that design. It almost looks like a small steering connector. Dave

Bob, are these Delco Lovejoy shocks? My 31 Chevy and Buick use rubber shock grommets at the shock and axle mounting is this what you are talking about? Measure the hole I have some for the smaller size and Bob's has the Buick size. Dave
