  1. Very nice work on the Chrome.

    I use 0000 steel wool (unsure what you used) and Mothers metal paste polish For HEAVY neglected chrome, otherwise its a micro rag and Mothers.

    Only issue I have is I get micro swirl marks from the steel wool that scratched the chrome.

    Need to find a way to get rid of them.. Or if I am just set with it until I re-chrome ?

    Curious if you have the same issue ?

  2. I don't have a solid answer on why they left the scripts off. But the thought that came to mind on your question of Buick thinking they were innovative and not using a model designation for the Roadmaster is the 4 ports.

    4 ports was all a person needed to see to know it was a RM. The longer fender and hood was also a give away.

    Again, I have no solid evidence, but to me that is how I always know ( from a distance ) it's a RM or not.

  3. Wilf, If you get a 49 Body, I can help with some of the parts. I have been on a MAD search for 49 Sedanette only pieces. If you see my thread, you will see why.

    I actually have an Extra dash. It needs a tiny bit of work, but it will get you through a pinch if you find yourself in the same situation as me with my Previous Owners HOT ROD hacksaw follies.

    Keep us posted. Patience is key. As others have said, Making a Caddy into a Buick will be hard, cost more $$$ than if you started with a Buick, and may even frustrate you to the point you abandon the project.

    Once I get mine in order, All the extra pieces will be going to RE-Fund my project. So I will definitely help you out.
