Customs 53 Buick Custom Build

To make a long story short... this is the third time I have owned this car so I decided to keep it this time and build it, and here is where I have gotten so far:

59 cadillac tailights frenched
all chrome (except portholes and headlight rings) shaved
car is completely down to the metal (that car keep growing as I was grinding)
55 pontiac bumper for the rear
some cadi bumper for the front (I think, I ll post pic and someone can tell me for sure)
fixing a 55? olds steering wheel
60s mustang gas tank sunk into trunk
78 cutl*** frame swap, using original 350 olds motor and ****** (runs and drives)
lowered frame, buick hupcaps (I ll post pics maybe someone knows), www tires

working on now:
chopping!!!!
bondo, primer, paint
fixing holes in floor and painting with ch***is saver


I ll keep posting pics and updates


Let me know what you guys think


any advice and thoughts well be well appreciated the more honest the better

 

cool project. looks like fun.

 

What kind of kustom headlights do you put on a '53 buick?

 

I chopped channeled and sectioned a 53 post ike this. Keep it simple

 

Pictures show progression of body work

 

You don't. Buicks look good out of the gate

 

The stock headlights are custom enough for me

 

That was fast! Should I dare ask what's next?

 

Chuck 3?

 

exactly

 

What are you wearing?

 

I think for now I ll just leave it unchopped

 

Yes?

 

The frame change is no big deal, As far as the roof all cars from the fifties have 4 inches too much top.

 

I met Shelton a few times, he is a cool dude.

 

I agree but I know if i start chopping now I ll take too long to put it back together. plus I m leaving for training in March and want to get this thing roadworthy asap

 

I ve met him before he is cool as hell, me and some friends are going to see him nov 2 in Knoxville with Those poor *******s

 

I lived in Nashville for the last two years. He played in town every Wensday night for a while.

 

I've built a bunch of Buicks man, what ever you need just ask.

Cool project, love the Buicks! Good luck with it.

 

Gotta have room for the fedora!

 

You guys in Texas don't know how to slouch? I've been known to mount the seat to the floor to fit me in the car.

 

CHUCK III the Resurrector!
I Know this guy, he has a good head on his shoulders to be so young.
He is the Epitome of hard work, he also knows the benefits of patience.
He never met a rusted out floor pan that he couldnt see the end result in. LOL

 

I would think 50 Merc?

 

I love this guy...but not in a gay way though. Lol.
you helped me find the endless possiblities to any amount of rust. Lol.

 

gas tank and package tray after I covered it with ch***is saver, I have also done the floor and the inside of the roof.
