Hi, My 39 46s is driving me crazy LOL<BR>My brake lights work fine, but when My headlights are on they work backwards?<BR>They dim the tail lights instead of making them light up?<BR>Anyone ever have this problem?<BR>Thanks for any info Jdee

As far as I know Packard would work with the customer to give them just what they wanted. Woodgrains vary much more on Packards than on any other cars we woodgrain, mostly in the base colors though, more than the graining itself. All the 32s we have done have been Burl I know, and a few late 20s we did were Straight Grain. So 31 would be right about the time Burl came into wide use. <BR>Jdee<BR>PS:This photo is Straight and Burl, not a 31 though.<BR> <BR><A HREF="http://24.26.87.219/WoodgrainPhotos/page%5F01%2Ehtm" TARGET=_blank>More woodgrain Photo</A>

Ok I'm going with a stock radio, Its the right thing to do LOL, does anyone have a link to the guys who rebuild the radios with modern parts in them? I seen them At hershey last year I think or maybe Daytona not sure, But they had some nice stuff.<P> Also I'm going to re-woodgrain the<BR>dash and garnishes. The car has a reddish straight grain wood pattern. "I'd like to go with a Burl" Did these cars "39 Buicks" ever have A burl Woodgrain?<BR>I sure wood like to go with a Burl Dash and Walnut Garnishes LOL<BR>Here's a Pic of a Packard I did.. with A Burl and Straight Grain<BR>Thanks Jdee

I've reconsidered and, think I am going to leave it stock, if anything,<BR>I'll find an original radio for the car. <BR>It has the factory blank in it right now. <BR>I'm going to re-woodgrain the dash and garnishes to finish the interior, and just drive it. I'll probably<BR>have a better time listening to the good old sounds of the car anyway.<BR>Thanks Jdee

Hi, I have a 39 Buick 46S<BR>and was thinking of changing to<BR>a 12 volt system...<BR>Is this a big peoject or not to bad?<P>Everything works fine now, but I'd like to install a hidden Music system in the car..<BR>And can't find much in 6 volts..<BR><A HREF="http://woodgraining.com/1939" TARGET=_blank>The Car</A><BR>Anyone have any link for the 12 conversion parts? <BR>Thanks for any help with this, <BR>Its all new to me..

<BR>Hi, I working on this AirFlow.<BR>Is this a rare car? I did not get to talk with the customer much<BR>about the car, But I do like it. Anyone know what they are worth? <BR>Thanks Jdee<P><A HREF="http://burl.hypermart.net//airflow/" TARGET=_blank>More Photos</A>

You guys made my day. Thanks for all the help.<BR>We will be trying out the AACA Library & Research Center<BR>for more info on some of the cars we do a lot of, just to have the documents on hand for our customers.<P>I was told there is a film out that has actual video of woodgraining being done in the factory.. If anyone knows the name of this film please let us know, we would love to see it.<BR>Thanks JDee

I'm A bit confused as to what a 100 point car would be.<BR>Restored like factory new , Or way better than factory new.<P>I restore auto interior parts that are wood grained. Many Packards I get in have slight indentations on the glove box doors from the tack welds on the back, and these do show on original pieces, So we leave them there and woodgraining them. But some customers tell me that a 100 point cars need these removed, because they look like dents or dings.<BR>Also on many cars the wood grain was not put on areas of the dash that do not show,<BR>and again customers tell me that 100 point cars needs this done.<BR>I have original wood grained parts that clearly show blending of the woodgraining<BR>in certain areas, and on a restoration I'm told they can not be seen.<BR>Also I'm told the clear coat needs to look like glass. <BR>I'm getting this feed back mostly from restoration shops I deal with.<P>I know that the original pieces did not look like this. <BR>But if this is what is needed for a 100 point restoration, it is no problem with modern materials.<P>Now on the other hand when I was in Hershey this year, people at the show said that my clear<BR>coat needs to be a bit less glossy. And some pointed out that they could not see any blending on <BR>some of our pieces, and that their car had big blending areas from the factory....<P>So I guess I need to know How do Judges Look at a wood grain restoration?<BR>Should it be way better that factory? With a super high gloss of the modern Urethanes?<P>Thank for any help with this Jdee<P><BR>PS:<BR>We do use the original process of contoured printing.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Jdee (edited 01-21-2000).]
