Ginky Weeds Restoration Project

Very nice Chuck; perfection in motion. This is an over the hump moment were you can start looking at whats been accomplished as opposed to what lies ahead.

Thanks all for the kind comments.  I do appreciate the work that is done and look forward to what's ahead.  July will be here in no time!

Right Mark, no pressure!

Cheers!

Well, I'm back from a month-long vacation with a very long list of tasks to make this restoration complete.  All the paint and body work is complete; just need to put it together.  But I don't think I'll be making the Nationals this year.  Like John E., I just don't want to rush it and make mistakes along the way.  But progress will be made and reported.  I think my focus will soon turn toward getting the red convertible prepared for the Nationals for judging in the unrestored category. 

Kevin suggested a new judging category for in-process restorations.  There are a few of us here that could fit nicely in that category!

Chuck ,    Hows your Chrome investment coming along ?   

[cwmcobra]

Not sure.  I haven't received the parts yet.  Partly because I don't think they are done and because I've been delayed getting home by the hospitalization of my mother-in-law in Ohio.  Hoping to return home by the end of next week.

Dear John, Chuck, and caregivers of so much more than mid-60s Buicks,

Not sure.  I haven't received the parts yet.  Partly because I don't think they are done and because I've been delayed getting home by the hospitalization of my mother-in-law in Ohio.  Hoping to return home by the end of next week.   

Sorry to hear that.  I feel your pain brother.  I hope it all turns out well and that you can return to just worrying about your Buicks!

Cheers, Edouard

Thanks guys.  She's home from the hospital, recovering from pneumonia.  Just need to get her back to the point that she can be alone during the days.  Probably next week. 

Not my favorite way to extend a vacation, but glad she is on the mend.

I think it's time to kick start this project.  I'm actually working on it again.  Loren has dubbed it "The Verde Howitzer"....I like it!

Just starting back into it and have a question already.  Are there any sources for the gasket that seals the fuse block to the firewall?  Or do I need to make one?  If so, any suggestions on material?

It feels good to get going on this again!

Happy Total Eclipse Day!

  Got one made this afternoon and will get it in the mail tomorrow. 
The material it is made from appears to be the same foam we used when I worked in aviation upholstery.
