My 1950 Buick Sedanette Project - (pic heavy)

[SuperBuickGuy]

machine shop hell... it's taken nearly 4 years to get the machine work done on the block.

That's great... I was wondering how your project was coming along.

[SuperBuickGuy]

Cool, in 2 weeks the new motor for my 50 Sedanette is going on the engine stand - of course, then I'll be back to focusing on the FJ40... but at least it will be closer too.

And my billet street/strip converter from Jake's Performance complete with Texas flag color customization!

Well after the hiatus (work before personal projects), time to get back to this an finish the frame, suspension etc.

Received my 4l80e Stage 5 transmission with D3 trans brake from Jake's Performance out of Texas... it's a thing of beauty and built to handle the performance.

Boxing it. Just have to do a little work to the frame first, it's out by 1/16" and a few spots need some attention - as any 65 year old would! Also I'm putting a Mustang 2 hub to hub ifs kit on it which I got from Jim Weimer Rod Garage.

Are you boxing the frame or leaving it in C channel?

I'm about to off a black widow and I can just as easily add another to the list if necessary.

[1950_Buick]

Thanks! well that's true... as long as I can keep the spend hidden from my wife!

[G-Motive]

looks to me like you've got no intentions of screwing around with this one. Looking forward to watching it progress.
