Projects 1948 Buick Convertible Build

I am posting a few pics of the current position I am at with my Buick Convertible. I started another thread several years ago, but haven't updated it lately. I will be uploading several videos to you-tube in the next several days. If you find the build worth commenting on, drop a note on here and I will try to give additional details. Thanks for looking.

 

Mighty nice looking car!Some really pretty work there. Just curious-why a serpentine belt system? Be sure to carry a spare!

 

unique - lots of hard work

 

Thanks! Good advise regarding spare belt.

 

You are so right. Due to many life interruptions this project has been dragging out for over 12 years. Heading toward completion {hopefully} this year.

 

Here is a link to you-tube showing several videos of the car.

 

Vinylman: Did you do the wood grain? Good lookin car. Tim

 

Tim: Yes, I did the woodgraining. I am a professional sign painter for the last 30 years, and have honed my skills to be able to due this kind of work. I may redo the clear coating as I wanted to get a deeper finish. I kind of rushed the final sanding and polishing in order to get the wiring completed.

 

I'd like to see a tech on the process.
