jackofalltrades70 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 So, since I'm waiting on the carb, I decided to pull off the windshield stainless and check for areas that might be leaking as I had noticed during hard rains that it would get damp at the kick panels. I found two potential spots and sealed them up.Then, I was thinking that I could pull all of the interior garnish out and pretty it up a bit! Sand, prime, paint. Total cost of $25.00 figuring in the new stainless screws.I hope to have everything cleared and back in the car by Friday night.Carb is going to be here tomorrow. They didn't get it shipped in time. Here is a picture of the 56' carb and the one for my 47'.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofalltrades70 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Had not realized that it had been this long since my last post. I have been so busy on the 47' that this car was driven a lot, then just set aside when I got the convertible on the road. I had a lot of pending items to do and just got started a day or so ago. the drivers door glass has been cracked since I purchased the car. So, pulled the door panel, trying to figure out the best way to get the glass out. The interior door panels are going to need replaced, so will order some panel board and figure out how to make new fabric design. had to pull the vent window glass,regulator and frame to get it out. Am Going to work on window felt linings, etc while the window is out. Monday, will get a new glass cut along with my convertible rear window glass. more later as I progress Matt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Glass dropped off at glass shop. Hope to pick up tomorrow.... Still need to fix window channell felts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Have the glass back and now just need time to put everything back together. Still trying to finish up some remodelling in the house before wifey will let me play with the car much. Maybe will finish up the house tomorrow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Finally was able to put everything back together. I replaced the felt in the window tracks, straightened the window regulator arma back out and installed the glass. A word for the wise. Thevent window assembly had to come out to remove the glass from the door. Assembly was a little tricky. Had to install the window, then lower it to be able to put the vent window assembly back in the door. Care needs to be taken to not fold over the felt in the channel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 So, brought this little girl out of storage last Saturday. Cleaned her up and took her out for the night to our local AACA troop appreciation night. Runs like a top! Tonight, installed some more weatherstripping on the doors, changed out my headlight doors, (thanks Mr. Earl) and installed a new trunk lid lock. Soon this little girl will be up for sale. Got my eyes on another Buick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
