autonut Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Have to replace some wood. Need all the help I can get regarding some old Fisher Body Manual reference material. Also wondering if anyone has any wood patterns at all for either the roadster or the Master sedan because I also have a sedan that needs all the wood replaced. But the roadster is my main concern. Have some of the rear pieces missing and could use some help to try and figure out was was there.Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durant Mike Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There is a reprint of a book that comes up from time to time on EBAY that is all about the early Fisher body manufacturing. This covers how many early teens and 20's car wood was made and shows pictures. I can't think of the name right now, but many 20's car restorers as well as some of the Durant Car Club members recommend it. I will try to think of the name, but you might do a search on Ebay for Fischer body and see what turns up. I was fortunate for my body wood was mostly intact except for some rot that I cut out and patched in some places. Other areas like the top I constructed out of oak and hand formed to the right shape for the top. You might also post on the Buick forum here and see what others might suggest.

Hubert_25-25 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Working on patterns for all the wood in a 1925 Buick standard touring. Shims, body mounting, etc. Should have these by summer of 2016. Then I need to figure out how to make copies of my Kraft paper drawings. The paper for the sills is 7' X 3'. Many drawings are 4' X 3'.

Friartuck Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 You can transfer the 7' X 3' pattern onto a roll of brown paper using a Serrated Tracing Wheel (also called pounce wheel) commonly used by the sewing folks. The tracing wheel transfers paper patterns to cloth for cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Copy and print shops have large printers for doing blueprints, posters etc. They can print out life size prints for you, can also advise about transferring your drawings to a disc so anyone can have them printed out.

Larry Schramm Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Costco and Sams Club can print poster size pictures for about $11.00 each. I think they are about 18"X24". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thank you for the advise on making copies. I made all of the drawings to 24" x 36" size (3 are 18" x 24"). Some pieces take multiple sheets, as all the wood parts are drawn full size. I had them scanned at Office Max/Office Depot to .pdf, so you can print at your closest print shop. They are large files, so I would need to send a USB drive with the drawing files on them first. There are 22 sheets, and it is in the neighborhood of $80 to print all the drawings. ($.60/ft sq). The photo is what the drawings cover. This is a 1925 Buick standard touring (25-25) Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
