A few days after the Woodward Dream Cruise - the completed 52

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Probesport, Aug 22, 2007.

  1. Well, my '52 Buick is reassembled and on the road. I posted some pics of the progress a few weeks back but here it is all roadworthy.

    For a ton of pics, incl progress and original check here:

    The interior is still not touched, that will be done over the winter along with suspension. I still have to get some chrome work done, and pick up some missing/broken pieces as well.

    Note: The links are not "Buford" because of any Ford content, its just a name we gave the car do its slow, lumbering appearance :)
     
  2. You should bring it up to Grand Rapids this Sat. for the metro cruise. Looking very cool.
     
  3. I forgot all about that cruise! I already have plans though helping out a buddy toss an engine in his car.

    Thanks for the compliments.
