Re: 36 door window glass remove/replace

PGBuick,
I am replacing the glass in my '36 3W now, using a write-up I got several years ago. Unfortunately, I don't recall where I got it from, but fortunately, I would be happy to either copy it...

Re: 4 Post car lift

I've had a BackYard Buddy since 1993. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with it and at my age (77) would probably not be working on old cars anymore, without it. 4-years ago, I dismantled it by...

Re: 36 5-wcoupe, seat too close to wheel?

No, not chromed. I had an opportunity to get a five gallon bucket of small parts nickel plated for $50. Couldn't turn it down.

Re: 36 5-wcoupe, seat too close to wheel?

I had to move the seat back 3" or 4" on my '36 3W. Just placed the tracks where I wanted them, laid out & drilled new holes. I had to make a spacer for the front hole on each side. I'll get a...

Re: How many of you are doing total restorations?

Hope to finish my '36 3W coupe this Summer. Started it in 2010, but lost a few years due to medical issues and a relocation.
