what you dont see is the 2 36 fords underneath thats another story and sad one none the less.

 

Im guessing this was fall of 2008

Oh man ! 36 Fords ? we don't even want to know !!! Some tree hugging son of a bitch probably whined about these old cars and the owners were mandated to crush everything . Am I close? Andy..

Geese !!I hate being right in some instances!

 

hi Shane, The Buick is looking great! Is she road ready for this year?? I loved that yard and had some good times there. I google earth it last summer and it is all gone now.

 

@angryfrenchie
yeah ,that was a good yard had a good time that day .wish I had a chance to go back before they crushed it. there's was lot of good stuff in there .
bottom line, I got what I needed.
Without those roof sections I probobly would have given up.

We also grabbed a set of baby hemi heads. There sittin just over at atlantic machine, as of last night.
A 50 olds grill shell was in the pile too.
Hoping to get it to the AB show in September. Wish me luck with the dmv

Without much regard to my wasted time and effort.

Mocking up the 53 riv center

A few tacks and some clecos made some minor pushes and pulls paying close mind to the side arch for flow in all directions .this many pieces made it hard to line up.
But allowed me to widen the roof in the center and rear.

A quick blast into the snow for a 360 look see
Hard for the neighbors to look at
But I have a vision
And a long hill to climb

Some more refining and more clecos

There was a lot of time spent juggling the back light.

Focus on that beltline

The angle to match the quarter panel revel

Keeping the botom and top inline with the windshield

In out left right etc
A lot of grumbling at this stage

A little Mud and a rattle can.

I like the flow
But the sail panel is low at the beltline and backglass.
