Had my first car show yesterday and I'll tell you it was a blast! The community around the classic cars was very accepting and happy to see such a young face among them! Looking forward to the next one! #Buick #classiccars #restoration

Got around to getting some new hubcap inserts to spiffy up the look on the new white walls I got! Buffed and polished the hubs as well to make them shine more! Replacing the weather strip around the tail lights next. Wheel pics in comments.

New tires and a Sunday drive to test them out! Looking pretty clean with all new whitewalls! Couldn't be happier! Summer drives, here I come!

It's been a good long while, but not much has changed in that time. Still cleaning the gasket area on the block for the intake. Though, I did get the intake itself cleaned up and painted fresh! Looks pretty nice in my opinion! #Buick #classiccars #restoration

The Carburetor is just plain dirty and is in need of deep clean and rebuild, unfortunately had to pull the Intake off as well, pretty good shape save for where the Carburetor attaches. Getting that fixed now. More below in replies. 1/2

Took my carburetor off. This is a lovely find. Seeing the stud bolts most of the way rusted through and snapped cause there wasn't a damn thing there to prevent from turning. Well, at least the back two studs are fine. I think. Carb pics soon.

Bluesky won't let me upload any videos here, so unfortunately, until it just magically works or gets fixed, video of the first drive won't be posted here! Sorry, but I will tell you it went well, smooth and was a lot of fun learning a 3 speed manual! #Buick #classiccars #restoration

Only one picture for now! But she's finally back on her wheels and ready for the first safety test drive of the brakes! This has been a long time coming! She's ready to feel the open road once again! Video of first drive to be posted later! #Buick #classiccars #restoration

Small update, made some new vent lever knobs for the climate control, need to replace the left lever as it broke before I got it. Also, finally got the front tires on! Rears will be soon, but the drums had to be turned a little more! Very soon!

Got my new water pump, painted it, and have it installed! It looks good, not a perfect match in color but it'll work for me! Master cylinder gave issues, so that is what's next on the list, hopefully this time the brakes will actually be done! #Buick #classiccars #restoration

Been a minute but had to take another short break from the brakes because my shoes were too large. So I got the water pump off instead, which is gonna need to be replaced anyway! Looking pretty bad after 70 years! As expected! #Buick #classiccars #restoration

Got the brake hoses installed finally! Also discovered the auxiliary heater motor actually does work, which is an awesome find, and the master cylinder is painted and ready to be assembled and installed! Getting there!

Did a little repainting of the grill ornament a while ago! Looks a lot better when there's a full wheel of color on the front of the old girl! Also, finally got the front drums off, disassembled the brakes, and started cleaning up the hardware!

Took a break from the brakes and got the dash plate off to replace a burnt bulb, got fooled and eventually did get a new bulb in there. Did recover the missing left turn signal plastic and reinstalled it! Everything looks good now!

Got the master cylinder apart. Unfortunately, after cleaning the bore, a nice heavy rust pit showed itself and it is basically cooked. Sending it off to be re-sleeved and repaired so I can safely stop my 2-ton classic! Wheel cylinders have come in!

I lied, master cylinder is coming off before the front drums! Surprisingly, it had liquid in it, though the pipes are basically bone dry. I'm going to look into the bore and see if it's worth saving or just better to replace entirely.

Tires are off, and the rear drums! Coming along! The shoes are shot and I'll probably need new drums, but hey, that's what happens with a 70 year old car! Fronts next!

Finally, got a car of my dreams! A 1955 Buick Special Model 41. I figured I'd share my journey into restoring this car to a point where it's safe to drive and enjoy in the summer! I look forward to every step! First on the list, the brake system!

Succeeded in getting a 1985 Compaq Plus back to a working state and cleaned up! Looks almost new now and is happily equipped with a compact flash upgrade!
