#6 - Stripped To the Wood

It took two people to lift the cumbersome engine cover off and two people to lift the cab off the frame. Other than that, hubby did it all the break-down over a couple days...and a few loads of laundry. (Oh this is a dirty car).

The wood frame is literally sawdust in locations and will all be rebuilt. When you disassemble, just know that the coveralls you wear will look like you rolled around in the dirt for about a week.

Cab off, and ready to find a new home with someone.

Stamped Fisher wood body number from the factory.

No running boards, fenders, engine cover, doors or cab. 

Wood Removed

The next step is trying to find a new owner for the parts not required for a Speedster. Joining a Buick club is one way to find a new home, another is to advertise in one of the publications previously mentioned.

Rebuilding the wood frame will take some work, but if you have woodworking skills it shouldn't prove too difficult. Luckily hubby is very skilled in this area. 

The much harder job will be finding someone to abrasive-blast the frame. There are a few methods out there and hubs is considering them all. The most obvious and known is sand, but there are choices of glass bead, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and even dry ice. Do your research. 

If you can't do the job at your own location and driveway, then another flat-bed tow will be involved and you'll be taking your car offsite. All things to consider.
