BobinVirginia Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 First time I’ve seen the new project! Super cool old Buick. I’ve got a soft spot for Buick’s for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 We will pull all the valves as soon as we have a replacement for the bad one. Looking forward to driving the car this fall to the local shows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobinVirginia Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Always fun to see what you’re working on. I need to keep up with the forum more. I’ve not had much to add lately but I hope to change that soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I dislike chewing gum, so when I need to make a repair, I have to borrow used chewing gum from someone walking by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Car is officially finished. Sorted and running fine. I'm surprised how much fun this mid year Buick is to drive. Lots of car for little money. Pure fun, and easy to work on. A great first old car for young people wanting to get a taste of the hobby without going bankrupt. Most expensive part of the entire project was the tires...........everything else was just pocket cash. More this weekend.
