    Hey guys

    Just got my '41 Buick and I'm currently trying to fix her up to pass Swedish inspections.
    Then the real process of "making it my own" begins :)

    The '41 is still in original mode with the straight eight and a three on the column. I have been thinking to convert to a 401/425 Nailhead with manual gears... but we'll see how things turn out.

    The '41 came from southern Oklahoma and arrived to Sweden in January. With the car I got two Brown Recluse spiders (well, so far) that were still alive!!! I really hope I don't find any more....they really gave me the creeps!!! I hate spiders!!!!!

    Couple of pics

    The big spider...Brown Recluse, man this one made me piss my pants.
    The tip of the screwdriver is 6 millimeters wide!!

    that is a good lookin buick. i'd like to get dibs on that straight 8 as you said it may be getting replaced by a nailhead... but i think Sweden is a little outside my reach.

    classy buick
