pepstrebeck Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Can anyone please reccomend a shop for the repair and restoration of a 1931 Buick hood ornament. Not just replating or pits, but an actual break. Here is the best shot "I" have of the hood ornament. This is for my brothers car. You can just get in touch with me through a Private Message. Any help or leads would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darryl Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi John,There is a shop in North Hollywood, CA. that specializing in repair of small parts for classic and antique cars. They weld all metals and repair pitts. I had my 1923 Buick rear window ring, which is pot metal and broken in half, repaired by them and was very happy with the results. The name is: Classic Welding and Repair 8235 Lankershim Blvd., Unit M N. Hollywood, CA 91605 818-771-0602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepstrebeck Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Now this brings up a somewhat related question (at least for me) for you Buick guys: Is the mascot Hermes or is it Mercury? I always thought and believed that it was Hermes.Dana, Please let me know how the masot turns out for you. I will send you a PM so you can contact me directly, thanks.

I always thought and believed that it was Hermes.Mercury and Hermes are essentially the same guy, Hermes is Greek and Mercury is Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
