Introducing my latest project

[SuperBuickGuy]

So I've been busting hump, and making the poor Fiat feel like some abandoned Italian (mama mia!) because I need to go pick up this in Montana... I gave up, it'll be delivered in the next couple weeks.














Plans? well, I have this twin turbo motor 464 that needs a home.

or
Maybe a full-tube 25.3 frame

or maybe like this:
This car, I fell in love with several years ago; but it's chevy powered
it's even for sale ($72,000)


Here's another idea for the car but with slicks

Sweet, I love them Buwacks ! were there any decent 56 olds hardtops there?

[RAIV70Judge]

That would be a bad ass ride!

[Russell]

You know I was just thinking that you needed anouther project.

[STINEY]

OooLala! Now that one has some LINES to it!

I had a brief fling with a '59 Electra, alas, her curves couldn't hold a candle to your new Buick. Must be rough to be shamed by a older woman.....

Reminds me of a Cadillac Sedanette.

You sure you have room for all of these? What do the owls think?

[Bob Holmes]

You need to be netted and committed!!

What a great platform to play with. I love that look.

[Thumpin455]

Nice, I would love to have one of those or a similar vintage Pontiac.

[A/Fuel]

That front bumper is pretty nice.
Are you going to take the drive train out of your GTO?

I PM'd you the seller's contact information - if he doesn't I may know of at least a couple others (however, all on the west coast - so that may be too far)... nice thing about this seller is he delivers for a reasonable amount.

Actually, I do - the Spider is a firewall, plumbing, wiring, and paint from completion.

There has been a large, curvy hole in my shop after the Studebaker left

Cool car SBG!!!!!!

[dulcich]

I really like that car.

[CDMBill]

I really like that car too!

[Monk]

That's pretty damn cool!

[DanStokes]

Excellent find! I keep thinking that there HAS to be a salvage yard like that around here but so far no luck in finding it. We have pretty good sheet metal in our local yard but nothing very old.

Thread, please.........

A thread will start when it actually gets here....

Then it'll sit for quite awhile, I need to collect parts and money to do the build. I kind of have an end goal in mind with it; and if I rush it, I'll have to do lots of bits over again - I could build a frame for it pretty quickly, but as this is supposed to be a straight line car, I want to build it to 25.3 specs.... of course, I've never done one before - so it'll take time to learn than do.

My goal - and I'll say it outloud so grief can occur if I don't make it - is to run the car in the 2013 drag week. That means it needs to be driveable by January.... and the fiat needs to be done first.... and I really should stop typing and get off my lazy tush
