buick41 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi KeithThe engine is indeed running nice , we finished the last issues so it can drive now , actually i drove her shortly on the road and on a trailer sitting on a pallet and a sparewheel .... and ik must say , everything feels good, brakes clutch , gearbox , engine . very smooth .......... So . We brought her to the body / paintshop now...and now we wait .......... Great that your wive starts to like the old Buick... With two on board is more fun than alone .. (Lucky me .. my wive likes to help me with several restoration things) But off course that wil probably ends when the Buick is finished and she takes the Buick out for a drive by herselve with friends ............ leaving me home alone .. LOL By the way , i found the right moulding clips for the rockermouldings at restorationpartsspecialties ... he had some ...so that proble is solved too.

buick41 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi Guy's Time for an update about the Buick It took us almost a year to get the Buick back from the paintshop ......... But it was worth waiting .... Don't let a friend doing the paint job if you are in a hurry ... But she is back now and i am really happy with the results . What way to go . So step by step i can build her up and put some chrome trim's on .. window's etc .. Paul 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgreen Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Your zinc plating process is very interesting to me. Can you share more details? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick41 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thanks Wilf. How is your 49 doing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick41 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hi sixseven this is a simple proces. And it actually works for small parts. The only problem is that the layer of sinc is not so durable . When you put a wrench on the bolts head it will damage the layer of sink. I know there are companies that can plate a bucket of bolts for you in a better quality and a lot faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a Dutch license since last week! It's now stored in a warm and dry place and next year I'll do some more work and try to get it good enough to drive to Sweden.

henrik stuck Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Paul Is it possible to buy a couple of horns for a Buick 41 from You Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil morse Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Another great thread! As a newbie here, I am like a kid in a candy store reading through these wonderful threads on the "Me and My Buick" forum. It's like binge-watching a series on Netflix, but sometimes I'm disappointed when I get to the end and it's not finished yet. Paul, I am in awe of what you have taken on here. I hope to get another installment soon. I can't wait to read the next chapter of your novel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967 - 1997 Riviera Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 No updates since early December of 2016. Wonder if the project is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick41 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Time for an update .. ;-) A willy's Jeep showed up in oktober and i had to do the little "green" thing first so that project is finished now so there is finally time for the Buick ........ Every time i put parts back on the car i am really satisfied to see the results ... Happy to see al the trims are nice and without dents but to fit the trims to the body is sometimes a rough job on the fresh new paint ... But we are getting somewere now.

1941Buicknut Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Hello from the USofA I am fairly new this forum and just saw all the pictures and information about your 1941 Buick Project! Don't know where you are in the process, but I may have several parts that you may need? I believe I do have a pair of those white plastic inserts for i believe the garnish molding. Wasn't sure what they were for but now i know. Not sure if they are reproducing those or not? Happy to help if you are looking for the hard or easy parts. If you have not completed the project, just send me list below of what you may still need. 1941Buickunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
