Hello everybody! Just a few weeks ago, I've registered in this amazing site and extracted several info about my project. Well finally last thrusday I've bought a 1947 Buick convertible, I can't wait to start the project! I live in Buenos Aires and I found the car in Mendoza Province this city is 650 milles away from home. As soon as the previous owner finish the paperwork and I get a place to work on the project, I bring the car and begin the restoration. I intoduce you my convertible, she's called Mimi. I'll have you updated about the differents works that I carry out. I hope you'll know to excuse my spelling and syntax. I don't use to write in english. In my job I just read it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and why not laugh of my posts.

Hi Hudson1948! Sorry if my advise is too basic, but take a look to the oil viscosity. May be, you need to try with other one with a bigger "SAE" number. Example: 15W50 has more viscosity than 5W30. Find this data in the oil container and try with other with more viscosity. The viscosity is basically how "liquid" is a fluid (the water is less viscous than the honey). This is a parameter that varies with the temperature: the more temperature is, the less viscosity you have, and with a low viscosity the pressure drops. It could explain your "trouble": once the oil temperature rises, your oil pressure goes down. I hope these words may be useful to you.

Excellent! Glad for you.

Hi sweetpotato! I´m new here in the site, and I've read this thread about the bolts... you can try releasing the engine mounts from the chassis and rising the enginejust a few inches. You con do that with a jack and piece of wood, lifting the engine from the cranshaft pulley. You can gain some room for a tool or your hand... I hope this words will be useful for you.

Hi! I'm Nahuel, from Argentina. I'm 36 and when I was 22 owned with a friend a 1950 Pontiac chieftain convertible, we´ve restored it but i had to sell him. Finally that car was the one that took my wife and me form the church when we get married. Now I'm about to own a 1947 Buick convertible for restoration. I hope to find here good information and nice people. See you!
