Thank you sammons, the feeling when you finally get to drive what
you've worked on for eyars is unbeatable.
I got it that you were talking about your covers, but I'm always open to
input and new ideas.

I would be the first to admit that a good deal of details on my project cars,
both regarding design and mechanical things, come from brainstorming with
friends, someone's whim, a kid's funny thought or just anywhere you can
pick up ideas or inspiration.

One favorite is the air filter on my 1929  Essex. My son was maybe 12 years old,
looked around in the garage and placed a 1928 Chrysler head light onto the carb.
"I think this would be cool" he said.
A few years later I did as he suggested. I liked it, it was different and fun.

Wasn't looking for these but saw these Edelbrock valve covers for the 231 V6. So I bought myself a birthday present. Poor car needs some attention.
Cherokee is just about done and ready to sell. Kinda cringing on dealing with idiots again. On the plus side, value has gone up on these.

I guess wrapping these in vinyl would have looked better,
but that looks very nice and finished like it is too.
In my case, I'll have to get the carpet and all done, then
see if wrapping them in vinyl would be better

My stress level was through the roof with my 57 chevy. It had been in an old salvage yard in Texas since it was sideswipped in late 1967. The yard was closed up for a decade when my budy got it out. It only had 38k miles on it. Bill of sale deal. I bought it from him in 1987 with bill of sale. In Kansas you couldn't go through the titleing process with a bill of sale untill they were 35yrs old. I had it put together and driving in 1989. I didn't want to wait. I sold it to a company in Alabama to title it. They could process with bill of sale and sell back to me for $150 fee. They really owned it at that point, scary. With in 2 weeks they returned a title, tag, and registration to me in my name.

Your Buick is looking fantastic!  Your lower dash reminds me of a '58 up C1 vette with clock in bottom.
On my '35 coupe i did the same around seat bottom. Didn't look real finished in black paint so i planned to wrap it in black vinyl later. Of course i had to sell it before i did that.

Your sure close to being finished. Of course you really never finish, always a change or addition of something🙂

Thank you TFoch!
Sammons, troubling, that?s the word.
It?s like an enormous weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Working on the very edge of the technical rulebook takes its toll,
like a dark cloud over the fun of creating something new.
But that?s behind us now
