Looking for help to get my car "going" again. It was my late father's, which he signed over to me. It has languished in storage for years. Presently in new location and trying to continue where I left off... Firstly, having assessed the body's wood-rot problem, I have a plan of attack. I need help with getting a tool to remove the door hinge pins, then getting the drip rails off. I tried but had to stop myself before I destroyed them! I see why people threw these cars away once. I think they were built to sell, then, who cares, right? My father rebuilt a 1930 Chevy's wood when I was 9 or 10; some wood was reusable. He used pine and he did a nice job - I heard him tell that he spent a good 8 hours building the new A-pillars... Anyway, my Buick has so much wood damage (A-pillars completely rotted away), I've had to "prop" the body up to keep it stable. I need good patterns or crappy parts good enough to use as patterns. Before I forget, the model # is 29-46, and is a 121 inch wheelbase car with the 90 hp six cylinder. (was the mid-range car offered that year). The body is a 3-window Business Coupe. Thanks for your support of these cool old "artforms". (TR).
