I finally got my coveted black old style five digit licence plates
that cars in Finland had prior to 1972.
These plates have been obsolete for a few years now, but a very
Helpful lady at the local DMV found an unused pair of plates in
a small town and had them sent here!
I was so happy that I wrote a little note and put a tiny symbolic
gift in the envelope.

Essex, i'm glade you found an easy solution to the vibration.  Glad to see your enjoying it!

Nice bunch of cars there🙂

I just checked, 800 miles driven so far. Except for a tiny coolant leak
where the cooling fan sensor is welded and a bit excessive oil consumption,
it?s been driving and running just about perfect. With one exception.
A harsh vibration under accelleration. And not even hard accelleration.
always there, always stripping away the good feeling you get when you
get to drive your brand newly done project car.
Yesterday i fixed it!
I was going to adjust the rear axle backlash (a pain to do on these 10-bolt
axles). I wasn?t exactly enthusiastic, and procrastinated by checking the
prop shaft alignment, or ratger the pinion angle.
I noticed that the pinion was one degree high, which, of course isn?t ideal,
A degree low would be better. So, just to avoid the shimming of the axle, I
unbolted the lower link bars and screwed out the ends one and a half turn.
This amounted to a 3 degree change.
By the one change at a time rule, I lowered the Buick to the floor and went
driving. The vibrations were 90% gone!

This time procrastination really worked in my favor, the result is a car that
I can finally enjoy fully to drive!

Thanks Sixball. You ain't a kidding about longer to heal. Everything seems to be healing good except slow over the rotten spot of skin over where lower screw was. This morn just a tiny discharge the size of a sharpie marker dot, and now looking more like a propper scab👍  I'll be so glad to be done with this morning doctoring behind me.

Thanks Ed. Been a trying time. At least i didn't have to go thru the pain you did.
How is your knee doing now? Better i hope!    Are you going to have the other one done? Tell Bonnie hey🙂

Glad you are on the mend! It isn't as quick as it used to be.
