cobravii Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am going to be flying into LA and then driving to Las Vegas and back in mid Sept. Are thre any wrecking yards that have a good selection of mid '60's Buicks in them along the way that anyone can recommend?Thanks in advance,Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think it is so COOL when a son restores the car his father had. Shows amongst other things the feeling's/respect you have for him. Good for you, and family,Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping to have this car done for his birthday next September. It has been a tough go though as there are not a lot of aftermarket parts made for this model...... hence the junkyard searches.Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I understand....................My father never had/took the time to show me, but I observed him as he taught himself so many skills. We was a firm believer that IF YOU DON'T TRY, WELL, YOU WON'T. Of the five children in our family, two of us have been able to practice his quote/moto.I know he was proud of what I have done with my hands. He never saw my finished 41 Buick, but knew I was building it, and told all his friends. Like a lot of fathers back then, he couldn't say I LOVE YOU, but told all his friends how proud he was. That was his way of saying, I LOVE YOU........I wish you well,Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49_buick_super Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The Big 2 around here: Home » DVAPThey are HUGE. I recommend you call and ask specific questions about parts you need. They are so big that you could waste several days wandering around just looking, maybe not finding what you need. My opinion is they have been pretty well cherry picked.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
