Dear John, Chuck, Jim, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Finally back on the restoration project .

Glad you are finally able to get back the restoration of your car!  It will be worth all the effort when you can finally drive it! 

Cheers, Edouard

Things are going very slow on the car but I did fab up a patch panel for the core support .  Got it all welded in place , with just a little touch up sanding and she's ready for Dp 90 and chassis black .

Nice work John!  Nice to have some personal artisan work in your restoration.  Just a little more to make you proud!

Dear John, Chuck, Loren, Jim, and mid-60 Buick restoration artisans,

Things are going very slow on the car but I did fab up a patch panel for the core support .  Got it all welded in place , with just a little touch up sanding and she's ready for Dp 90 and chassis black .

I'm sorry that this car was in such tough shape that you are indeed having to make so many repairs.  Nonetheless, it is clear that you are up to the task!    Keep up the good work! 

Cheers, Edouard

John, been following your progress from the background. Looks good, body work is very time consuming but the end results will be well  worth it. But the fact that you can say "I did it" means a lot. Keep up the good work.

Disassembled the 3 speed shifter and got it all cleaned up . sending some of it out to get phosphate coated . Found theres a few pieces in these shifters that have pretty good wear to them causing them to have a lot of slop .
The main sleeve that all the arms rotate on was worn pretty bad , so I built it up with the welder and turned it back down hoping to make it feel a little tighter .

Hi John,

That shifter was in rougher shape than I thought, have you gone through the trans yet?

Nice to see you making progress

Regards,

Really nice job on the shifter, John.

Dear John, Loren, Jim, Dan, and mid-60s Buick caregivers who are good at givin' them lots of luv! . . . 

As you say the parts were in tough shape, but you are continuing to make things right once more.  It is definitely a labor of love!

Cheers, Edouard

Nice work John!  I'm with Jim and hoping the transmission is in better shape.  I'm sure we'll hear soon!

Have a great weekend!
