I'm originally from Easthampton... now out here in sunny Southern California. Hmm, I kinda miss the snow, but not the cold! I like to be able to work on my Buick in the winter!
Well, I'm sort of in few places at the moment. But one of them is Lee. Trying to make the area my permanent residence. Actually going to see the head computer guy over at Simon's Rock in Great Barrington about possible job opportunities there.
Have I met you Dave? I can't beleive I haven't seen your car, I worked in Waltham on Bear Hill road and Second Ave for seven years, laid off last month. Ah, loyalty to employees! I'm in JP, raised in Dedham, lived in Somerville and Roslindale as well.
Ray Therrien currently from Stoughton, Ma lived in Brockton, Ma for 30 years. I have had many muscle cars, but presently own a 70 stage-1 GSX...hopefully more buicks to come soon!
chriss i saw you and your blue convertable in dedham .We talked for a few minutes but i was in a rush. Dave H.
Hi , I am up here in Laconia NH , joust moved from Harvard MA . Can any of you guys reccommend a machine shop in the area for bbb work ?
Dave- ah, that's it! I knew your name was familiar. How's things? Tom- only machine shop I've used is in Waltham- but they did great work for me: TC Auto machine. Tom Cavuto knew my 455's specs off the top of his head and gave me a very reasonable (not to mention accurate) finishing time.
There is a shop in Marblehead, MA, that does some Buick stuff (he does all my stuff when I can't ship the engine to TA performance). He's pretty good, but you should tell him the critical specs (bearing clearances, etc.) since he is used to doing Chevy engines. They initially set up my block girdle, and have done quite a bit of other work for me. They also have an in-house dyno in case you want them to do break-in and tuning. Precision Motor Werks, (781)631-2106 -Bob Cunningham bobc@gnttype.org
from what i hear tom cavuto is the man, he just did work for dave, kevin healy and hes done work for mr. pro street warren heaps
George Dwyer Grew up in Blackstone and still work all over mass but live in Cumberland, RI. 1969 Buick GS 400 and my damn 1991 GMC Syclone. If anyone knows anyone in New England who wants to buy a Syclone, send them my way. Thanks and look forward to meeting some of you at the cruise nights. (I usually do Riley's Roast Beef in Framingham Sat. nights then shoot down 109 to Millis).
machine shop t&c machine in waltham 1-781-893-7997, TOM CAVOOTO , great guy he has built alot of buick 455's and v6 turbo motors. he fixed the butcher job t/a did to my 455 . T/A sold me a $3000+ short block that came apart after 600 miles. they used a 30 /20 crank that was spay welded on rod # 7&8 journals and thats where it failed. it cost me over 2 grand to fix my lower end had to get anew crank have it turned and rebalanced and reasembled. T/A sent me new rod & main bearing & a oil pump. :af: so watch out you never know who's going to screw ya.
mass member well i'm in mass , but alas no buick here , just a cheatin' dodge ... i did see a GS stage 1(i think) for sale and was going to stop and check it out .... wildcat455 , my parents live in billerica , i grew up there ...
do any of you guys ever go to the tewksbury car shows in the summer? if not you should check it out, its every sunday during the summer and on nice days you see probably over a hundred cars. theres several different buicks i've seen there.
tewksbury , oh yeah .. i go to tewksbury , the pub is my old stomping grounds . don't get there as much as i'd like and the place is always packed , my guess is 200 plus cars ... excellent cross section of cars ... even ricers :moonu:
