39BuickEight Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Matt, thanks for the information, but I have tried it all. I have linked to specific pages and everything, and for some reason that image always pops up in my signature. I copied and pasted the link on the page right now below. Same car is there...

MCHinson Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 It is clear that the photo is the photo from post number 3 on page 1, but I have no idea how the forum software selected it. Sorry I don't have any idea how to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Maybe delete the signature completely. Then go back a day later and add a new signature. This software does at times seem to have issues with links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be painted in the next year or so. Still lots of little things to do before we tear it back down for that. Danny, good to see you again. Long time no see. Sequoia Cream was only authentic on convertible cars in 1939. Red wheels were a mid-year introduction in 1939. I think they offered red wheels in '38 and '40, but it was an afterthought in 1939.

Thanks for telling me again. It's year correct, shown in advertising this way, and my car is not in any way valuable, so I think it will be just fine. I like the color. Here is it on a car just like mine in the Saturday Evening Post. Edited July 24, 2018 by 39BuickEight (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 That is just an artist conception. The fact is the official records and publications from Buick show different. Actually that yellow looks nothing like Sequoia Cream. Just do what you want to do. I won't be judging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39BuickEight Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks Gary, I found this painter by asking my best main local body shop who they would recommend. Working as a multi-line insurance adjuster, I know just about every shop in central KY. This guy worked there painting from the time he was 16 and opened his own shop a few years ago. He was tired of painting for someone else. Now he does it for himself. He is still only 25. I asked other shops that he never worked at if they heard of him. The typical response was "oh yeah, I know Chris. He is really good. He will do a great job." He picks up his work and delivers it back, doesn't ask for a dime of his incredibly reasonable price until he is done, and several local people told me he was the man to do it. Other than finish paint, rebuilding the engine, and resurfacing the cylinder head, my father, brother and I have done everything else to the car.

39BuickEight Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Possibly coming home tonight after just a couple detail items. Then he is taking back to the shop all the doors/fenders/hood/deck lid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 It’s now back in its permanent home, and the rest of the panels are at the painter. What to do next? Sound deadening I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39BuickEight Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Dad was able to come see the car today. It’s the first he has seen it since it was painted. He is not well, and I am hoping to get it together for him to see since, without him, this would not have even been remotely possible. I can’t explain how much it means to me that my painter was able to do what he did in such a short time frame. Hopefully the rest of the panels will be done in a month or so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Billy, Am a big fan of cream colours on this body style. Yours is looking real good. Cant wait to see it with doors and fenders in matching colours. Dante Red wheels and a pinstripe could be an option too, even if they were not correct for '39! Rodney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39 Special Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The Buick is really coming together nicely! I think I recall you had holes for fender mount lights to use as front turn signals. Mine had motorcycle style front turn signals some previous owner installed. I removed them and added hidden arrow style LED lights behind the grille, so I have front signals, but no one sees them unless they're in use. A happy period incorrect solution for me! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks for sharing your car! My doors are almost ready and the fenders are next. I ended up using fenders without holes as the ones on my parts car were in much better condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickBob49 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 39 Special, a nice solution for front turn signals. What is your source for the LED arrows? I have a similar dilemma with my 39 Roadmaster. I'd like to get rid of the motorcycle indicators. I don't want to drill holes in my front fenders.

39 Special Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Billy, just curious -do you have fender skirts for your '39? Sure seem to dress up the car in my opinion. Guess you can match paint at a later date if you go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
