Very Nice Car Wilf; a job well done. I am also restoring a 1949 Buick Super that was my father's; he passed away over 35 years ago and my bother and I being kids put it on block in the back yard. My project is on year 3 and I am almost there. I found your blog because I am also having trouble with the gauges. I am hoping to find some tips to get them working, otherwise I can not drive the car. Here in Canada I have to pass an inspection and the gauges are the problem.
GOOD JOB...
