DanielG Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 Thanks guys, did not get much done today, just ripped out the radio and beat up the glove box door.
Jerred C. Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 WOW, this is looking like something I would drive with pride and a smile. Looks great man. I will definately be watching this one.
DanielG Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 OK then, not much to see today but what was done took some time. Worked on the driver's door, opened up the door latch handle and tore out the speaker. Tried to make the interior panel/armrest look like it is about to fall off. Finished the glove box and cut off the hinge on the passenger door, it will be 'welded' in place, the glove box takes up the space the hinge wanted to occupy. I will have to check out the interweb for more interior pics to see how else I can abuse this thing!
jedimastergary Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Looking good nice work so far coming along quickly
DanielG Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 So, it looks like it is going to be white, mostly, sort of...
jedimastergary Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Looking good soon it might be done and ready to cruise the wasteland bet you finish before I do my 1958 Plymouth keeps changing parts so it keeps getting farther from being done
DanielG Posted May 29, 2010 Author Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks for the vote of confidence Gary but there is a long way to go yet! I still have to line the interior and make some sort of 'cage' and then there is the rear suspension ( it really does not have one, basically just sort of bolted to the undersides) to sort of tart up a bit.
DanielG Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 Am finally able to get back to this. Threw a bit of paint at the seats etc, just to get back into it.
jedimastergary Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Looking good nice work on ittook a break from my plymouth not sure what I am going to do it could be done if i find a set of wheels and some tires as the ones i have suck
vizio93 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Looking nice man, now you need some beefy tires !!!
DanielG Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 Huh-oh, I was hoping to use the 'issue' tires!
DanielG Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 Finally got back to this build after a bit of time away! Should have kept it in the garage!
DanielG Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 New interior door panels... made with the jim dandy Matel Vacuform. The most useful thing left from my childhood (since my electric drill packed it in after 50 years!). The only bad thing is having to make sheets by drilling out all the holes!
Chuck Most Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Looks fantastic with the weathering, and I have to say I'm really diggin' the Buick 8!
DanielG Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 Looks fantastic with the weathering, and I have to say I'm really diggin' the Buick 8! Thankyou. This build is becoming a test-bed for any new (to me) methods that I discover or steal!
