Guest 68buickdude Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi Billy,Thanks for the reply. I checked out your link and it was very helpful. I also checked out your restoration photos and our cars could be twins. I'll try to post pics of my '39 soon. How's your restoration coming along? Thanks again for your help.Regards,Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Phil, thanks for looking Hopefully I can help you out with my documentation of what I am doing. There are quite a few excellent, very friendly and helpful '39 regulars here, and I am certainly not the most knowledgeable. The next step in my restoration is finishing up the engine, getting the exhaust, and trying to fire it up. Then brakes, and then start on the body. It will be years still before mine is driving.
