Chuck,
  I see the large holes in the door jambs on your car--did it come with PW on it or did you add those while it is all apart?

It came with power windows.

What's the proper way to refinish the front upper A-Arm bushings?  The threaded cups that hold grease.  Are they painted or plated?  If plated, what type?

Thanks,

Chuck

Thanks guys.  As I said to Loren, we have a long way to go, but it's really exciting to see the car starting to take shape.

John, keep me posted on your travel plans.  The body will be done by then and I hope to have the chassis done also.

 :cheers2:

Dear Chuck, Loren, Jim, John, and mid-60s Buick owners who are "green" with envy . . . .

. . . Awe shucks, ain't it a bit early to be starting to see the green things of Spring?  After all it is still the first week of February! . . .  :laughing7:

Seriously, definitely looking good!  While I have thing this for "Seafoam Green,"  :love4: Verde Green also looks very good on a classy Buick!  :icon_thumright:

Frame, control arms, sway bars, etc.  are now painted GM Chassis Black.  Got a bunch of fasteners to get plated, then I can start reassembly.  Woohoo!

How/why did you separate the front crossmember from the bottom of the radiator support?   I have taken two damaged ones before and made one good one by separating the parts, but it was a lot of spot weld drilling involved to do it!

Good question Brian.  I've never done one of these before and as I disassembled that part of the chassis, it came apart.  I thought it was supposed to be that way!  Ignorance is bliss, I guess.......

I guess I can't really answer your question!
