JohnD1956 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Congrats to Adam Martin @Smartin and Lamar Brown @MrEarlon two great articles this month! Very enjoyable reading! And thanks for the shout out Mr Earl, but we both know that the hitch wasn't just sent. It was a mutually beneficial transaction, for which I am still thankful, especially since it is being used, and I no longer have to lug that monstrosity around inside my shed! 😁 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thanks, John! I was very surprised to see it pop up when I read through it this morning at the office. I had forgotten I wrote it LOL! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 It's always cool to see one's work in print! I had even forgotten you had had that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Pete’s been nudging me to write that since I had the transmission rebuilt. When I finished the build on that 72 GSX this Winter, I wrote up an article on it for our chapter newsletter. I was on a roll and decided to knock this one out too. I remember when it was incredibly hard to write a 500 word essay in school...now I blink and end up with 1500 words without any effort at all 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I found both articles to be classic Bugle articles, which is to say, they deal with the experiences of owning and enjoying Buicks. I had only antecdotal information about the Flight Pitch, that it was a pain to own one. It sounds like a properly maintained one would be a great transmission. I like that Lamar's wagon's color matches, more or less, the RV following it. I love the 403, even though it's an Olds motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did much more screwing around than studying in high school, but did quite well in college when I got to choose my subject matter. These days I only study old Buicks! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks JD, haven't received my copy yet but have had a few emails from folks who've read the article with some good tech info as I had asked for. It was fun to work with Cindy again doing the article. It started out at just one or two pages and she kept asking for more so I obliged. I will be starting a thread seeking more help from folks here on readying Southern Belle for the haul. I installed new axles, wheels and tires and did a lot of utility and cosmetic type work to the Argosy and took her on her maiden voyage already so now I can concentrate on the wagon. BTW I just said you sent me the hitch, didn't want to tell everybody you charged me an arm and a leg for it. LOL Just kiddin , it was a very fair deal and I'd probably still be looking for one had you not had the forethought to save it from your wagon.
