Just want to say hey to everyone. I am working on a low-budget 58 Buick and hope I am in the right place. I know it is a 4 door but I fell in love with her and the price was right, only a little surface rust, the floors are solid and most of the trim is there. I don't what you would call the finished project, Street Rod, Hot Rod, Custom, or Lead Sled, but I know what the plans are.... Warmed over Chevy 350/350 ($300 donor truck) 12 bolt rearend (same $300 truck) shaved door handles EZ Boys interior fender skirts flat black paint etc.... Take it easy
welcome to a great forum...."when better Buicks are built, Buick will build them" , or something like that..
More doors are kewl too, how about making the rears suicide like a Lincoln, now even though I.m an old NewbieI realize it dont take dollars to make a statement, just imagination and a willingness to try to be different
What up Tromper hey 58suade I have kicked that idea around, don't know if the doors will clip the chrome side trim though
Suicides done right won't clip yer trim Dude! That would be saweet. HELL YEAH yer in the right place, this site is brimmin' over with 4 door customs!! That Buick is great!! Welcome to the HAMB!!
Welcome Kingcrow, Awesome avatar, btw. Whenever the killer Buick is ready for the wetworks give me a shout- I'm North of McKinney in Anna.
Welcome from another newbie texan with a 4 door. I'm on a tight budget too -- as you already know it can be done! Your Buick is schweeet man. Keep it up & post progress reports!
Thanks for the great welcomes guys, look like I found a great site and will enjoy it often, and thanks for the comments on the ride. One thing I have notice as I cruz the forum there are no trailer queens just bad *** rods. I never got in to the "not factory hose clamp" thing thanks again
Welcome from Denton. There is nothing wrong with some 4 door lovin'! I would suggest something other than flat black tough, that car has some killer lines that are screeaming for a gold, or orange, or a maroon. Even in suede those colors would show off the lines and style more. Just my $0.02
