    After a fast trip from CT our new Vicky project has arrived. We will be posting pics as we work. The buick was also unloaded here, and will be a project down the line.

    Let the fun begin. Can't say I've ever seen a Buick like that before.

    Cool projects and they look pretty solid except for the doors needing patch panels.

    Are the doors same as coupe or sedan?
     
  7. I love the Vicky. I would order a Roof Head and go Banger. Black primer and red wheels and some simple upholstery is my idea. What are your plans?

    What engine is in the Buick? Straight 8 maybe?

    Excellent purchase.

    Boy howdy that is a lot more complete and a lot nicer than the one I just bought. It looks like we have matching drivers door bottoms though. And yours is a steel back to boot.
    No Upspirate the doors are Victoria - A400 only. almost everything on the Victoria body is different from the regular coupes and sedans.

    Yes, It is from Connecticut. Very complete with all interior parts, garnish mouldings etc. It needs the obvious patch panels, but is pretty solid. We are very happy with it.

    Still going through lots of ideas, but flathead V8 for sure and some type of traditional hotrod build.

    I am not sure what the buick is. I was told it was a 90 series car, but not an area I am at all familiar with. It just looked ultra cool, and we thought we better buy it!!
