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.

Now that's beautiful. Awesome car!

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.

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.

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.

Nice job, the car looks great. Whose got the belly racer in those pics of the shop?
