So got the crank back today, BUT... Wen to order the new bearings at 010/010 and found out the 320 mains are no longer available at 010 oversize, only 020.
I found some but not all 010s on eBay.
Don't suppose anyone has some NORS they want to sell? Otherwise crank goes back Monday to be turned more.

you should check out the '29 Buick Club
Bil McLaughlin @Bill - 29 Buick probably has a source for that.

Are you still making the reproduction 30s tapered hood hinges I'm in need of one
Tapered no...only 37-38 Buick hinges

Starting to get parts back
Like these manifolds that had to be turned after getting egg shaped... Next they get powder coated.
And these electric items
Supposed to have some engine parts back from the machine shops by the end of the month. That will be really good!

Gorgeous Brian. Can’t wait to see it!
I had planned on showing at Spring Autofair / AACA National, but lots and lots of soccer scrubbed those plans. Hopefully Fall Autofair, but no other plans until I get the radiator swapped so she stays cool... then we will see. I hate to admit it, but I may have too many cars...well let's not go THAT far... too many for the amount of time I have right now. That and I need a Buick Gardens at my house too.
At the moment I will be at Autofair Thursday (with TBD Buick) and Friday with '38-80C (which AACA members may see more of soon) and then Saturday I may park a Buick with BCA display, but at this point I don't think it will happen. "We'll see" as my mother would often tell me when I wanted something...

When I got the car to the house I mounted the trunk. It really completes the car in my opinion.

Really pleased with how the upholstery got finished up. The window shades/curtains turned out really nice.
Rope rail now mounted
We remade the assist strap
He even took the time to change the ash trays over to maroon to match the upholstery. Nice detail I didn't ask for or know he would do, but very pleased.
Got the dome light working too

Tomorrow I get the car back from the upholstery shop. Headliner replaced, curtains installed, rope rail installed. Many other minor details completed. Very excited to see it basically done.
I have to have the radiator replaced, had my spare recored, but there was a slight issue with the placement of the top tank, but should be done soon. That should make it a solid driver and I will be very pleased with that and call it "done" at that point though they are never REALLY done.

That doesn't make much sense, maybe aftermarket. I will get my factory radio deletes and take a photo of them for you.

Does anyone have any info or photos of Bill Dreiling Motor Co. in Denver Colorado? I found a few pieces of advertizing but that's about it. Project 66R was purchased from that dealership.
I'm renovating the store right now (into a Jag dealership). I have found very little info on it as well. It had a cool sign that's no longer there.

Hi Kevin,
There are no plans that I am aware of for another collaboration event.

I had them done by my local upholstery shop C Fredrick's Automotive in Charlotte, he got the upholstery from Joann Fabrics. I gave him photos of other cars as a guide. He is admittedly massively talented and extraordinary in making things from scratch with no templates and only photos as a guide. I'm quite lucky to have him local.
The rug rail is a repro out of Australia I think. he advertises in the 29 Buick Club newsletter. Bob something. I found it, see below.

Note I had to have the center tube cut/made luckily they had polished stainless in stock otherwise you'd also have to do polishing or chrome too. I think I ended up honing out the repro a hair to make the piece they had work.
