Hi I'm here as well. I don't check this forum very often. I live in downtown Vancouver. Let me know if I can help you in any way. Do you guys drive your cars? There is a BCA Oregon region picnic at the Brooks exit off I-5 on Sunday August 15. Let me know if you are going - maybe we can hook up.
Not driving yet....motor is still in the machine shop and there is lots to do on the car. Im out of town on the 15th, wouldnt mind hooking up at some point however. Need all the Buick friends or contacts I can get.
Is anyone from the Pacific Northwest area coming over to Spokane Washington for the Good Guys car show on August 20-22? Sure would be great to have a row "Buicks" I'll have our 70 GS there. Larry Damm
Capt_Dunzell - This is a friendly group - Please let us know what your name is. Thanks. Yes, Let me know when you want to hook up. I am usually out and around the area with my Buick. Sometimes I go to the WED. night PIR cruise-in. Also usually somewhere else on the weekends. Cars are for driving. Larry - I will be in Spokane for the GoodGuys event. Getting Buick together would be great, but I travel with a guy in a 56 Ford pickup and we always park together. Maybe we could add a Buick sticker when he isn't looking. I'm always telling him he should have a Buick. Anyway I will look forward to meeting you. Met a bunch of the guys on here at Puyallup in June. Always good to know Buick people. dukec
Hi Dukec, Sounds great! Looking forward to meeting you. I will probably be parked with a freind that has a 40 Buick convert. Your 48 looks great. I will be there bright and early Friday morning the 20th. Take care and have a safe trip. Larry Damm
Mine is drivable but it needs some work, The rear axle is making some noises, The last time I pulled the cover it scared me so bad that i quickly put it back on.:eek2: 455+ woodburn drags:3gears:+ stock 10 bolt = bad things. I also am currently running a sorry 3 core radiator, so I gota be carefull on the hot days. What it really comes to is I have been putting all my effort into my jeep and my new house. I need to start putting some bucks into my buick again. :TU:
Brock, There's a guy down in Camas who did the rear in my 71 GS455. His prices seemed pretty decent. What he did was get all the pieces, then there's a company over in OR that does all the assembly and setup. I put several hundred passes on it at PR in Kent and Bremerton before I sold it. That was in a mid 13 second car. They're a Chevelle place called R&R Racing.
Brock, You can also find some pretty unbelievable prices on brass/copper four core radiators on the internet. I scored a new crossflow four core for my 70 GS for $156.00 delivered to my doorstep. The place I got it from was Radiator Barn. Great people to deal with, had it delivered in 3 days. Hope you can make it over to Spokane for the show. Take care. Larry Damm
Larry Look forward to seeing you there. Remember - "Ya Gotta Drive Em". Mine is kinda hard to miss. dukec
Thanks guy's. I will check into Chevelle racing. but I will most likely build up a dana 60 myself. I will also look into the radiator. That is a decent price. As for the meet unfortunaltly I will miss both the local buick shows this year. I will be in Donnar california judging a 4x4 rock crawl competition event, Then taking my jeep on some trails afterwards.
Oregon City, Oregon here. I don't get out to many Cruise-in's but I do go to PIR for the late night drags once in a while. Might hit some Cruise-in's later this summer. The Wednesday night PIR cruise sounds fun!
Troy Welcome. Dave & Troy Both of you guys should try to get to Brooks this Sunday for the BCA show. dukec
Dave The BCA picnic is at the Antique Power Museum just west of I-5 at the Brooks exit. This exit is between Woodburn and Salem. I can't remember if it starts at 11 or noon on Sunday. I will check my info when I get back home later in the week. Hope you can make it. dukec
Hey, my name is don. Live in beaverton. hopefully I can make it to brooks it sounds like fun. went to reno last weekend. Not many booicks, but the ones that were there were mostly originals and looked a hell of a lot better than most of the customs
