If there's enuf interest in buying a preformed wood starter kit for these years i would set my machines up to make 12 at a time I'm just asking if there's any one looking i have a few patterns out of the Buicks I own . the last time i restored my 1929 ford I bought a wood kit and was surprised that i could not do the same for a pre war Buick ? kyle

the wood work is not that hard I have done it 2 times I was just wishing a kit could be bought for the 1925 buick im re wooding now I remember when i was 23 I bought a ruff kit that came with the start shape for my 1929 ford truck .It came with some shape but it was up to the man putting it together to cut the matting surfaces . I would really enjoy fixing this " 29 olds " up so it could be driven daily as far as i'm concerned it would not be that hard to restore it just to far away from home to buy . I was thinking about whipping up a dozen wood kits for 1925--- 1924 buick if there was any real interest for people to buy some close to finished wood kit kyle

All bolted down to the frame jig testing door line up I would like them fit like a glove if possible. It's possible had to slide a 1/4 `` shim in back left corner of car trunk area the main floor runners fit just perfect on the bottom flange so I don't know why I need a shim but it made all the difference in the world . Tomorrow night I can finally make the wood frame on the inside of the car its being really fun but only working on it at night

nice gear puller

cool books still have them ? kyle

Windshield post just got back from the platers . The 1925 roadster is on its new jig -build frame -paint trolley now i'm cooking with gasoline !!! which bumper should I use ? Is either one right ? I have a split one also .

So how can I see your old 1912 34 ?

So how do I find a touring to go on I should have this car back on the full time road in a couple months .I know every time it rains I run all over the place and put tarps on all my out side projects . Did you check out how pretty the vale train is on the motor I was so happy when I puled off the valve cover and put a bore scope down the cylinder bran new cross hatch. I was just floating off the ground so happy to see the insides of the motor are all brand new machine work ,but of course the guy that started this ground up restoration and spent 10 years of his free time to get it looking this good wile he also owned a engine rebuilding machine shop .I figured it was spotless in side of their to .just got back the windshield arms from the chrome shop . looking good- Kyle

I get a kick out of disclaimer wife's car !!! thank you for the compliment. I am always making some thing I like restoring old pin ball games to . After I work at my machine shop all day making one off parts you think I would get tired of making stuff but I just don't like TV .- kyle

i would machine .020 off of evry other clutch lining on one side that would make the hole thing wear in new spot or just take .like a lot off of the one closest to to the pilot bearing that would do the same thing but a lot ezer to do kyle

This jig I just made out of some left overs from a job. I have a 1925 frame at the machine shop so I duplicated the bolt hole pattern on to the 2x2 tubing and some old casters made it bolt together that way I can break it down real small after its not needed till I start the next Buick project .

Your car has a lots of wood I will have to do the same when I'm fixen up my 4 door . I will take your advice and clamp the doors in but I think I will do both 2 door cars first wile I got my wood shop set up . I'm getting so much saw dust all over the place looks like it snowed in my shop my wife said she wood get her leaf blower out and clean up after me, I think she was kidding though .To day at the machine shop instead of running a lathe I made a nice rolling jig to mimic the car frame. I just hate getting on my knees to work broke the ball off my femur 25 years ago so it gets sore really easy -- Kyle

That's neat jig to cut with . my joints in the corners look long but the steel bracket sets in the gap I'm trying to just do wood work and trying not to get out my mic out. Kyle

Finished the floor runners, lots of angels there in the connecting up to the body, but fit up really good transferred the bolt hole pattern from frame to runners and put some temp braces in to hold runner spacing so bolt pattern should still match, after I fit it up to the body .Set up some saw horses bolted the cowling to the front of the runners, set moved body up on the sawhorses and lined up the corners . Tomorrow I'm going to build a wood frame, under the sawhorses so I can level up the lot and tram the body see how square I can get it to be wile the door skins are I'm thinking maybe TIG. weld them in permanent till all body wood frame is fabricated up and glued that way when I cut the tacks the frames are straight and rigid .this might not be the way to go ?? what do you think ??

wow that is as good to me as a blue print thank u got new blades for my planer your car looks great how nice i ben cutting parts every night

that is so clean looking wow
