Ok you guys might like this ! We have a sale pending on the Buick we worked a deal out ! So it will be getting fixed

 

Kewl....now you know that we waiting anxiously for finished pics

 

kewl! let's wait and see what fearless knight is about to take the challenge of leading this damn ole dragon back to life again.

and...yep, i like dramatic movies from hollywood.

still watching, let us hear what this car comes out. still on it....

 

Moondog13 is the buyer he is very excited to get it . I'm glad it's going to get built,I thought about it a lot but there's no way I could build this car so looks like a happy ending for it .

 

Couldn't be more excited guys! I'll make sure to update this thread when I pick it up in three weeks. [emoji2]

 

Good for you Moondog! I believe it is important to save all the old iron we can.

 

Our calendar at work this month has a yellow car with non-opening doors with the dip to step over. The caption says it's a Coachcraft '39 Lincoln. 'Glass kit car or for real?

Gary

 

This one and is a real one, rust and all! [emoji2]

 

Thanks! I couldn't agree more.

 

That's great! Glad you took our advice and put it up for sale. I knew there was somebody out there wanting it, it was just a matter of getting you two together. And good for you moondog13 for getting it!

This HAMB thing might just stick around a while! :]

 

Yep, yep, yep.... I can see it in root beer, wire wheels, straight 8 Buick for power, Briz bumpers, straighten the doors, padded and chopped white Carson style top, straight bar grille..... drooling a little already....

 

That does sound good hmmm.
But......
I got to much going on it will be better for it to head south it's really growing on me though I will miss it I've never had anything like this before

 

Good on ya Moondog! Thought for sure this was the Buick customized/coachbuilt by DM Nacional in Mexico; checked the Rikster's photos and it's not the same - but could have been inspired by it. Might give you some ideas:

We're on the same page! Except, if a Nailhead turns up (seem to be easier to locate), it will get that, but I'm going all Buick on this build; I'm thinking Buick Lido Lavender for paint.

 

Yea that door cut is really similar, DM did it nicer though, sectioned body and that door cut followed the lines of the fadeaway fenders. Love them! Thanks Chris!

 

Glad this car is going to a good home and will have a second life, look forward to the build thread. Bob

 

Not sure but it kind of looks like Captain Midnight's Buick from the tv show from the fifties.

 

Not it, thanks though. Crazy looking car, best pics I could find:

 

Guys I spoke with moondog some more and found out this is his first Buick build!
Not sure if it's his first build all together but deff his first Buick one ,so if any of you guys have anything extra you don't need and want to do a pay it forward the man will need all the help he can get with it . I'm digging threw my extra stuff seeing if I'll have anything of assistance I can throw in for him . He deff needs a front seat motor trans gauges ,door hinges stuff like that . I think the owner was going to replace the old hinges with a set to make suicide doors so any help for home would be greatful as he's taking on a hell of a project. Also if you could post up junkyard s information for him so he has leads on parts I'm getting him a few but the more the better thanks guys

 

By the way here's a few more pictures I love the hood but it sadly won't work for me on my build

 

Outasite, Moondog13!
Be sure to forward some pics to Kustomrama, so they can add it to their "Lost and Found" section.

Lavender is a little too close to pink for my flavors.... I'll meet you half way and go eggplant. Nailhead works though. You might be surprised depending on the area, I've seen a few running 50's straight 8's go up for sale very reasonably because somebody was rodding the car with an 8. Transmission selection is more limited. Looks like we'll have a while to argue over the final details while you polish up on your body work and acquisition skills.

 

Well, I'm glad to see this project won't be scrapped. Seems the indecision would have led to that if Moondog didn't step in. Good luck with the build.

 

Hmmmm..... still not a fan of the lavender, but if I was going to do it, I would look for some trim to work along the side of the fadeaway fenders from the center of the headlights down to the rear fenderguards, using 2 guards per side to extend them up to meet the trim hopefully with a bit of shape and flare. I would paint the lavender above the trim and a darker shade of coarse metalic (or maybe even a fine metalflake) grey/silver below the trim. The wheel openings look a little messed up anyway, so I'd be tempted to cover the back ones with skirts. You should really get Moose or James D busy on those photos to help you develop a game plan, because you've got a long haul ahead of you, and you don't want to be changing things and doing them twice or three times on the fly.

 

Well it's 100% official moondog is the owner he drove up today and was nice enough to pay me for the Buick so the car will be making its way down to Miami in a week or so . I'm happy it's going to him he's a nice guy very excited about it so we should see some good things happen to the old Buick.

I hope you guys are happy I could of made a ton of money on parting it out . But I settled for peanuts to save this old rod! But now I can sleep at night knowing I didn't cut it up .so thanks all for stopping me sometime s I get carried away with the whole making a dollar thing

 

enjoy the " peanuts "

 

I'm happy.

 

Hey guys! Couldn't be more excited about this purchase. I have a huge project ahead of me! I am currently trying to find any information about the car first before I dig into it (although it definitely wasn't a very important car, I am a very VERY curious person and like to know everything about everything I can). I emailed a couple of online movie retailers that specialize in old hot rod films to see if anyone recognizes it. I'm going to try and contact some film studios as well to see if anyone is willing to help in my search. I'll keep you guys updated.
