    Doors are off right now. Handles have been shaved. Interior is out. Waiting to put in new floorboards. Plan on building it mild custom.

    I have enough friends! Hey pothole.
    Yep it's a Special. I'll get more pics up when I make progress. Winter has slowed me down to a crawl. I just got a heater last week. So hopefully I'll start tearing into it again.

    Buicks are the new Mercs (affordable customs that look great no matter how much or how little you modify them).


    I'm working on a '50 Super, but your '56 will be a damn cool cruiser as well!

    Looks good.

    Hows the drivetrain? Planning on keeping the nailhead/dynaflop, or going with a new setup?

    Great cars, but from the motor back, not the best setup ever invented.

    BTW, I've got a 1960 (last year for the torque tube).

    Later!
