Hey there!

 

after a lot of months with no posting, here I'm with a few things more. Finally the steering whell is ready (almost, only the horn ring left to complete it) I had a lot of delays due a primer that wasn´t the right one and every time I sprayed the paint, it cracked and again. I went to the paint shop and asked for some help and they recommend me another primer that was perfect. The radio "B-U-I-C-K" buttons are also ready to go...

Now I'm dealing with the front suspension, front brakes, etc. Last week I left the brake master cylinder in a shop and now I have it overhauled. Next step is check all the pedal mechanism bushings, clean them, lubricate and if it's ok, reinstall, the, begin with the piping arrangement. First, I'll make a "dummies" pipes and go to the shop to make them new. I have not the old ones, too bad...

Well, it's all for now.

Hi there!

GREAT NEWS!

I was in vacation with my wife and when we were back at home, I checked the mailbox and it was there! My membership of BCA has arrived!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm part of and I'm glad to be, I already have my first "Buick Bugle" in my hands. Hope sometime I can go to some meeting in some trip to US.

 

Related to the car, after one month and a half looking for the front wheel bearings I finally found them, I got them from three different places, but I have them all!!!

I started to install the right side suspension and it's almost done, now it's my work time and I don't have the time to do nothing with the car, next friday begin my days off and I'll continue. When I removed the RH front suspension coil I realized a 2,5 inches from the bottom par of the coil was missed! When I can get some new, I´ll replace it, but now I'll put it to work some more time...

Front brakes and master cylinder are ready to install as well, but brakes lines are missing so I'll have to buy the pipes, tees, fittings, shape them and install but it's another story... step by step.

 

 

In this days I'll post some more pictures.
