    A funny little short about the car.A little over four years ago i was sitting at the table a few days before my birthday stargazing on Ebay.I came across this 50 Buick and made the comment about how cool i thought the 50 Buick body lines were.Low and behold my wife was standing behind me when i said it.A few weeks later a car hauler shows up at my shop with this rusted out piece of **** that was not wort the s**** price and my wife's yelling out happy birthday.Well i guess it goes with out saying there was no s****ping this one out with the wife's new found sentimental value.Now i am not saying i am finished,but i did get her on the road today and getting tags tomorrow.....I AM STOKED!!!

    I just said out loud: "I love the lines of that 32 Ford Roadster" with my wife in ear shot....according to your plan I should have one on a car hauler in a few weeks. Thank you Bob I'm pumped.

    Thats a sweet looking Buick by the way.

    Boy I hope that I am that good someday to have an end result like that from a pile of rusty ****. Nice job!
    I have to start looking at 32's with the wife around and try out your trick.

    Time to start watching a lot of internet **** and saying "I like the look of that 3-way" when you know your wife is in the room. It worked once, right?

    Also, before pics needed. Looks good now though.

    That's awesome. I'm also working on a 1950 Buick. I have some similar mods in mind and it's nice to see how well they came out. Definatly needing more pictures! Congratulations.
