OK i got a few more. I did this much over the corse of about 3 days. This is being done on a very tight budget. Im not going to drive this car in the winter so im only useing Rustoloum paint and primer in a spray can. Plus i only get about 2-3 hours a day if im lucky to too work on it. Got to keep the wife happy and got to play with the 6 year old too. The picks show the wire whelling, priming, and the paint stages.

4GJ47P = 4 is the BUICK div number, G is the body type, J47 is two door regal coupe, and I believe the P is for Pontiac Michigan plant...not for sure. CB4 might be for a Landau vinyl top. Thats about all I can tell you without my books that the old man has. HTH
