Gary W Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Hello All! I thought maybe some would be interested in following along with my "Frame-Up" Restoration. I began the journey on January 11, 2017, and I am about 6 1/2 months into it now. It's all coming along very nicely! It's located in the "Pre-War" Buick section of the forum. Have a great day out there! Gary W NJ Edited July 26, 2017 by Gary W (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pyewackett Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 When I was 12 years old my father came to my little corner of the basement where I built my model cars and asked if I was still interested in automobiles. I replied in the affirmative. To which he stated it was about time I had a real one. About 2 weeks later I was sitting in the front seat of a 1938 Buick Century (maroon with a grayish brown interior). My dad really knew very little about cars but..... his war buddy owned an auto body shop (the old style where you fixed rather than replaced, shrinking metal and leading to perfection). My grandfather was an upholsterer, and my mom's brother built stock cars and rebuilt engines. I apprenticed to all. When I finished restoring the 38, dad bought me a 39. Wish I still had them. But there have been MANY others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
