Guest BJM Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks for the heads up. I don't usually purchase CA due to it's high cost but when there is a special article I want, I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Barney,Thanks for the notice. I just gave up my subscription this past year, as I had mor emagizines then I could read, and had to make that choice rather then some of the others. Pricy but well written and worth it but I did not want to give up the others. Now I have to go find that issue.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dockybuddy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Is there anyone out there that has plans, drawings, etc. for making runningboards for a '31 Buick 4 ddr. sedan. The space measures 50" long by 11 3/4" wide at both ends. I am told they are made of wood, but I don't know where to begin, except with 3/4" Marine plywood. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Barney Eaton Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 There are several knowledable 31-32 owners out there. Check the tech advisor list, Roger Fields is the 31 advisor and for 32 it is Willis Jenkins. Mac Blair and Bueford Hall (30 advisor) are two that I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Mac has the plans for a '32. I will have to check if they are tghe same. I know they are similar. And he had the matting also.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Engle Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Original running boards were made of Ash. I believe the outer edge is different on 31's and 32's. Matting was also different. I would think Mac Blair's plans for 32's would be a good guidline to follow. Find the edge trims and cut the ash boards to fit the space between the fenders. Cross bracing on the underside is also cut to fit the frame mounts angles and get the boards to the correct height.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Engle Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 On magazines, our AACA club members share their copies of the different magazines. There is little that is time sensitve. At each meeting there are magazines placed on the table for anyone to take. Beats having subscriptions for a bunch of mags. Get one that nobody else has and share it.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Engle Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I can send photos of the 32 parts for the running boards if you are interested? Just let me know with a response and I'll dig them out of storage and take some pics.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
