    As some know. My 54 Buick was ruined by shotty work and had to be s****ped. This 55 Century hard top 2 door is her replacement. She will be a very mild kustom.

    I would have kept the 4 door until I was sure I didn't need any pieces. There are more hacks in this world and there are too many unfinished cars then there should be. Good Luck and never quit.

    Well, here's hoping this one doesn't get so ****ed up it has to be "sent out for s****". I like Buicks.

    Whats the drivetrain plan, did this come with an engine, do you have one from the last car, or switching it up?

    I have the 322/dynaflow from the 54. 4bbl intake and carb. Replace a couple gaskets and that's what I'm using. I gave my buddy the 322 out of this 55. Needs rebuilt.
