    Sup. Just bought my first old one last weekend...1955 Buick Special. She's in great shape and runs solid with the original 264. Plans are pretty straight forward...lower, disc brakes, wide whites, not sure on wheels yet, shave handles, nose, deck, grind out rough spots, paint her up with a silver suede with a pearl over it. I'm a design student and photographer in San Marcos, Texas so if anyone up in ATX needs my services lemme know. Always down to help out those that help me. I should be showing up to the South Austin Speed Shop party on saturday. Here's some photos of the ol girl:

    I really wanted my first project to be an A coupe but i'm gonna daily drive this tank so I wanted something already running that could get me around. Fortunately I got it for a steal and the the body, chrome, and interior happened to be in great shape. I ask for a piece of ****, I get this instead...rough life. ;)

    Time to step into the snakepit and ask some questions.
