(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Probesport

New here, figured I would post some of my other cars, here is my 1952 Buick Roadmaster, w/320 CID straight eight. Loaded, power steering, first production 4 barrel carb, all coil susp, etc.

Its actually undergoing the knife right now with some fresh paint, chrome smoothies, 3" wide whites and all of the other associated accoutrement.

Thats a beautiful car. I love the old classic cars. From a different era, but very cool.
My father has a '56 Lincoln Premier 2 door hard top, with the 368ci engine.

Hey now that buick is something I didn't expect to find on this forum. Very nice!

Here is one of my other toys its a 52 pontiac (it has a long way to go but it was a cheap hardtop straight off the farm)

Its an old dean moon setup from back in the day. The shop owner is gracious enough to cut us a deal on storing our "projects", use his lift, tools etc. We help each other out, just to get out of the house and get our hands dirty.

Here is a couple other pics, the first one is a rare moment when we were swapping some of the projects to different bays (trying to find some working room), the others are misc projects, I apologize if this is OT.

Cool pics,
I love the history nothing like old dean moon "Old moon eyes "

I like the old skol stuff you cant beat it

Its were hotrodding car building car racing came from.
Enjoy my 35...my dad he built it in his late 60-early 70ish years "rest his soul" God I miss that old man

This is what is was at the start I thought he was crazy for starting it at such a old age.

fordnut,

I tried to send you a pm but I must not have permission yet.

Have you heard of the Jalopy Journal? A very good source for traditional rod/custom info.

I forgot all about this thread - nice pics of the 35.

Here are some updates of that same Buick and recent work that has been done

Finished the 12v conversion & replaced all wiring, installed door poppers w/remote, converted to disc brakes, painted engine bay & firewall black, and probably a ton more that I forgot about.
