401 + eye candy

 

Here's Buford...'56 Ford panel with a dual quad 401 to haul my handicap scooter.

 

Yes! another Buick in a Ford!

 

Here's my fresh rebuilt 56' 322".
I hope to fire it up this weekend.



It is bolted in this.

 

My Skylark project;






401 that will have a stock 2-4 with thunderbolt style air ducting. I also have a fresh set of heads with the larger valves sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get back on it.

Chris' car is awesome. He's a cool dude too.

 

322 waiting to go back in my 56 "nothing SPECIAL" and 66 425 for future project

 

425 soon to be Tri Power going in my Riv project.
2nd pic is the previously planned 401 that I created the low mount accessories for. They will be going on the 425.

No wires, no hoses, no nothing visable up top.

 

Here is my stuff. These are the nailheads that I have currently running and driving. The nailhead in the Dodge is a '61 364, and the original '57 364 in the Special. I also have 2 401's and a 425 waiting next in line.

 

Don't forget Rolf.

In it's native environment - my 66 Electra





Funny story, when I bought the Electra, I just wanted a big car. A friend of mine said "take a look at this" and whipped a massive tarp off the Electra. It took about 3 seconds for me to fall in love and I bought it on the spot.

It was only later that I "discovered" that it was powered by the last Nailhead. I had heard of Nailheads (been reading hot rod mags since 14) and knew they were cool but it was only after I really started to get into them did I realise what I had.

I created a website called www.buickstreet.com and really got into the Buick scene. Anyway, to make this story relevant I'm getting Russ Martin to build the brand new 425 motor I found on a shelf a few years ago with one of two B262 intakes I've got and it's going into the 32 5 window in my avatar.

Huge Nailhead fan.

 

Cool site; I'm checking it out right now.

 

Cool story!

Really cool cars,that black ´34 is killer
My A-Coupe and 1930 Roadster Hudson with 425 and 401:

 

Yes! One of my favorite cars ever! Everything about it is perfect!

 

Was mine... I sold it a few years ago. Anyone seen it?

 

Here is one of my '58 Kustom

 

Here are 2 of my favorite children. The hearse is one of 88, and I have it sketched up with an altered wheelbase and a straight axle. That might take some doing. I love the '62 Special. I was going to build the same thing but relocating forced me to thin the herd. Not shown is my '59 Invicta.

 

Strange Bird Update...

Blown Nailheadddddddddddd.

 

Not an other Blown Nailhead...............................eeek
