buick41 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi there, Just new here on the forum and just started to disamble the "baby blue", Buick SSE from 1941, i found the car this year on the internet. What can i say? I wanted a project car ..... well now i have my project car ..... I placed a few pictures so you get an idea what "these" folks in Holland are up to ... ( so please don't get angry when i spell a few words wrong, i do my best !). It was an earlier "restauration", so the outside looks not to bad (exept the color) but the inside, windows, underneath the car and the engine has to be redone . It is a real "filler" car" but i stay positive! I just look sometimes to nice pictures of restaured Buick's so i get used to the end result of all the work ;-) . enjoy and feel free to give any comment, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick41 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi Time again for some new postings, last week we dissambled the car from the inside, after removing the seats and carpet i discovered that there was allready a lot of work done at the botom of the car, al lot of new metal has been welded inside it. unfortunatly they didin't do it so nice so rust is at every welding, they welded 3 doors complete but the third door the didn't, you look just through it .. So now i have the idea what we all have to do to restore it and wich parts i am missing ( a lot) . I decided to start with cleaning en reparing all the stainles mouldings, and Zamac (chromed) parts and store them ( for a while). It is amazing how much pitting there exists into the chromed parts so the only thing to get those parts cleaned and tidy for rechroming is grinding and polishing, a lot of work but the results are good . you wil never get 100% out of the zamac parts but it is exeptible. see some pic's does someone know what kind of centermoulding this is from the grill , it looks like a replica of the original , i bought this on Ebay , the patern on the moulding is different (it is the opposite ) than the original, It was new and never been chromed. A few pic's of the car regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
