This is a follow up from my previous post to correct the attachment issues. Hopefully this helps.

At this point I haven't decided what coating I'll use because I haven't started restoring my car yet. I'm just reading the forums.

This is an article I found regarding the restoration of stainless steel trim. It was found in Cars & Parts March 1988. Hope this helps.

Looking great Paul. What steps are you taking first? Are you just dry-fitting everything outside of the frame, then re-assembling everything on the frame?
Thanks,
George

Hi Ken,
I don't know if this is the right wheel or not. On the tire it says BF Goodrich and the numbers are 4-40-4-50-21 and it has 5 holes for the bolts. The dimension of the outside of the rim is 22 1/4", and inside it's 10 1/2". I don't know what car make will fit this rim.

Thanks Paul - you do beautiful work! Regarding the hinge pillars, length correction - splicing of wood parts is mentioned in the Fisher Body service manual. What I would be concerned about is where the splicing is done. On the bottom of the hinge pillar where it meets with the seal, if it's strong enough to be able to support the door. Personally I would redo them so that I would not regret later on - when everything is screwed and glued together. That's my opinion. If anyone else has any other suggestions, please respond.

Thanks Dave for the info regarding wet sandblasting. I'm glad I asked the question before I did any damage. By reading the forums - I'll go with Mr. Earl's way.

WOW! It looks great! Thank you Paul. What type of wood are you using?
Thanks again! That picture will be so much help to me!

Has anyone done wet sandblasting, and if so, what do you think of it?

Thanks for the tip. Back in the 80s I used to be a member of the McLaughlin Buick Club of Canada. I had met with Bill and he was very helpful. I did see his 29 McLaughlin Convertible. At the time I checked the car and it was hard to see the wood construction.

Hi Derek,
I live in Toronto, Ontario. Good luck to you with your 1929 Buick. I will be joining the Buick club as well in Jan./08.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply and offer. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress in restoring your car. I would also like to see how the wood frame looks - especially the rumble seat.

Hi - my name is George Kargov. I will be a new member of AACA in January 2008.
I have been reading the forum topics and tremendously enjoying them. I have also been encouraged. 30 years ago, I purchased a 1930 Buick 46S. Back then, I started some restoration of the wood members. Due to my lack of knowledge, it was a slow process. I went to night school for woodworking classes and have learned enough to start restoring my car again.
I will be taking the car out of storage early spring next year. Note - when I purchased the car, it was not in running condition and it did not have a rumble seat. The previous owner gave me a rumble lid and on it was written "Essex" in chalk. I wonder if this is the right lid for the Buick?
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has done, or is doing, restoration on a similar model.
