Barn Find 1953 Buick Kustom

Ha,ha, building looks way better in the photos that what it really is ! Didn't even have to wash it off as the rain coming through ohe poor old roof was doing a fine job, hence the surface rust everywhere

 

Ahhh... those 5 words every father longs to hear... "Daddy, teach me to weld..."

I showed my son, then I whipped out the cutting torch and he had some REAL fun.

 

I love it!!!!!

 

Any progress on this build?

 

Sorry Cowboy,

Gone to the back burner again. A pretty decent 56 Dodge Custom Royal fell in to my lap and I couldn't say no. Its a runner, Poly Hemi automatic so much closer to a driver for next spring. I seem to never get any time with work, pinstriping, family and sheer laziness to get out in the shop to bust at the old cars the way I used to.

Chris.

 

**** yeah!

 

Gotta see the new project.

Pictures?

 

lets see what she looks like.

 

With the grille and bumper off and just that pan it looks like it's sticking it's tongue out.

 

Rotten thing has been sticking it's tongue out for a long time too!

 

my thoughts exactly, and maybe round the *** end of the bed out just a bit

 

Any updates?????

Sorry Lukey, seem to have Been sidetracked again for maybe another twenty or so years...
Took on a pretty major four door convertible project with a 56 Dodge Custom Royal and have been doing a few in and out jobs for cash flow this summer,lots of cruiser bicycles ,a barber chair resto, some pin striping jobs etc... Now the winter is right on my tail and Ontario isn't a fun place for building when the garage doesn't get above freezing for five months...
