    This was my first custom - a 49 Super 4 door. I think it was chopped 8 inches. Really a beast to drive.

    Yup. I have a '47 Sedanette. 500 Caddy under the hood. Upgraded suspension. Hoping to get to it VERY soon. Needs small amount of brake work & finish the wiring (about 1/2 done). Plus a few other easy(ish) things. Plan is to drive it for a while, then probably put up for sale. Bought it because I thought I'd never get a Merc, & it's almost as cool. Got the merc. How much cool can one guy take?

    A 40 Buick Century was one of GM's first hot rods. It really was capable of 100 mph.

  28. Would you believe me if I told you that the one and only real modification the owner made was to put air suspension on it. After that it’s all factory equipment.
