Hi I do have a set of doors from a 55 Roadmaster 2 door in good rust free California metal. I can email you a few pictures of the doors. I can also ship them to you. Do you have an M38? Thx Steve

Hi I am in need of a few bits and pieces for a 1962 Buick Skylark. I need the Skylark badge for the dash, the instrument cluster cover, and the windshield washer bottle bracket. If anyone has these parts it will be great. Thanks Steve steveclassic@earthlink.net

Hi Jan PM Sent. thx Steve

Those are my cars, this was an interesting photo shoot and was a lot of fun. Had to take all the cars out of the garage. Thanks for posting. Steve

Hi John Is the whole car available for sale? Seems too nice to cut up, would be interested in the whole car to restore or save. Thanks Steve

Hi Pete What a great find and a good story as well. I would leave the engine compartment alone unless it starts to rust from the moisture in the air, but in Texas this should not be a problem. Glad it found a great home with you. Congratulations. Steve

Hi I have a couple that I don't need anymore if you want them let me know, I would like $35 each plus shipping. Hope I can help. Thx Steve

Hi Marty We did speak about Karps and I sent it to him and he took a while but it came back done well. I thank you for the lead. I just sent him another one for my other Buick. As far as I have read the biggest issue was that the brake pedal is extremely hard once the engine dies since there is no more vacuum, hence the electric vacuum pump in 54 and the vacuum canister in 55 and newer. I tried this unit without vacuum and it is a bear to stop. I bled the unit with a friend and now the car stops very well, I just drove it about 50 miles without trouble. Thanks to everyone for the help and ideas.

Hi Willie and gang Unfortunately this is not like the 55. It is still a Kelsey Hayes unit, but looks totally different. This unit has two bleed screws on the master cylinder bore. This is the first year for GM power brakes and is a single brake circuit. On these units it is important to check the bore of the master and the internal push rod during rebuild since both can be pitted. The unit was thoroughly rebuilt. I'll give the two person method a shot and see what happens. Thx Steve

Hello Everyone I had my master cylinder and power booster rebuilt for my 53 Buick Roadmaster and I insatlled it and am bleeding the brakes. The shop manual says to bleed the rear screw on the master first then the front bleed screw and then move on to the wheels and then start the engine and bleed the master again. I bled the master, but never got clean fluid to run out without air, there seems to be a lot of air in the system. Am I missing something or is it supposed to take a long time to bleed? Also what is best way to bleed with two people pumping the master cylinder or by the handheld vacuum pump? Thanks Steve

Hi Doug I'll take a look, I may have some pieces, which parts do you need? Steve

Hi I just sent you an email. thanks

Hi Barney If you don't have a switch, I have a good one from a 54 Skylark. Let me know and I will email you a few pictures. Thx Steve

Hi I need a set of rod bearings for a 1953 322 V-8 engine, .010 oversize. I would like either NOS or american made bearings. Please let me know what you have, email steveclassic@earthlink.net Thanks Steve

Hi Pete I don't have this one, I'll take it if still available. Thx Steve

I have one form a 53 Roadmaster two door, that you can modify to fit. Let me know if you can use it and I can send some pictures. It is located in Southern CA. thx

Could it be BB for all white? or SS? It is hard to read. I know the 54 Buicks used numbers, but that was the last year.

Same thing happened to me from white post, but they sent it to some other company back east. The company back east charged them half what I paid white post. I will give power exchange a try myself as I need to do another one. Thanks for the contact Lamar Steve
