    After selling a 52 buick custom. It's now time to build one to my liking. The buick now has a sbc and a ford 9" behind her. The car is now bagged all around, I'm getting the body ready to be chopped. I will update new pics along the build.

    Actually all those guys were trying to make their cars more like the Buicks. So it's the original... :D

    The car looks really good without the B-pillar, I realize it's a ton of work to hardtop a post car but it's got the look. I like the Chevy rear window too although the stock Buick 3 piece one was pretty cool too.

    That's killer. That Buick would look great with the same silver/white scheme.
