Projects 1940 buick upgrade

been on and off here for over a year just looking so let me put my 40 buick super upgrade up been off and on it for the past 10 months
this is what I started with the steering was sloppy and had front drum brakes I was all over the rode with it so I did this


started by removing running train

 

then removed front sheet metal

measured where to cut


made a jig for bumper and front sheet metal

 

then


picked up a nova front clip

 

tuck apart


blasted



and painted

put back together

 

mocked up

centered the front spindles to mark of old clip

slided frame into buick frame

 

angle cut the other side to bend into the nova frame


then welded up

 

grinded down




after all done decided to box the frame up for extra support












then painted

 

I lifted the frame up 4 inches from the stock one to clear the ground


next started with the front bumper mounts

 

had to cut radiator support down by 4 inches



welded back together


mocked up to see if it was going to go back together




post up more pick during the week

 

impressive work, Nice Buick!!
