    Cool 1932 Buick sedan

    1932 Buick Sedan #2
    Finally got up the gumption to get in the shop clean it up and start on the 32 Buick.
    I get out of breath just walking to the shop but once I get sat down can get some work done. ]

    This is a car from Dutchy's web site.


    Going with walnut with oak trim this time around.
    My cabinet shop friend got me some nice walnut chunks to play with.

    I don’t have the patience to glue on the small trim parts so will just make them part of the main build.

    Got a little more done.


    Shaping the roof.
    I super glue a square chunk a scrap to the bottom and this keeps everything squared up to sand to the mark.


    When done just hit it with something and it’s done.

    I was going to use walnut but had this wild looking block a oak.


    As always have to see what it will look like with some wheels but was happy to find I already have some tires made up, just need to build the spoke rims.


    Kind a reminds me of an old time taxi cab.

    Enjoying this build. Keep up the good work.
    Love the seats but note the steering wheel is not on the "right" side.
    I am sure you will come up the correct rims for the Buick.

    May need to figure out how to flip the picture over so they look right for driving down under. LOL

    Well if it is not on the "right side" it must be on the "wrong side".
    Use a mirror so it looks OK!

    Filling in the blank pages.
    Radiator check.


    Made up the fenders but will wait for wheels to check fit.

    Then on to the bonnet vents.

    Last played with the luggage rack.

    Tomorrow may get started on the wheels and these are just a tad different than my last try, so we’ll see how that works out. lol

    I can see that you managed to get the steering back in the right side.

    Looking good by the way

    Been playing with making the wheels.
    The lighter colored wheels are the extras I made for my ford Van, just to give you an idea what I'm up to.
    I still need to sand the rims down to fit in the tires.
