Well, my home PC is still down and all I got access to is my iPhone (which is what I usually surf and post from anyway!). So that means that I can't post pics from this thing So, I'm out on the contest I'm sure!
But my next project is not a PT one, but a custom. Something that I can hop in and drive and not have to worry about beating on it and breaking it all the time, like my Camaro! LOL! The car is a 52 Buick Special (2 door post). I have a 92 Caprice chassis that I am going to cut up and put underneath the Buick, so I can have the lowered stance and better ride quality over the Stock junk. Not to mention the hard to find parts for straight 8 with TQ tube drivetrain. It will be nice to be able to pull into an Auto Zone and buy something that "fits" if it breaks on the road, which it WILL get driven all over the country, just like my other cars! The other parts that I have sitting ready and waiting are 55 Olds front fender/headlights, to get away from the bug eye look of the originals. I also have a 51 Merc back half that I am going to graft onto the back of car. It seems that the GM designers worked awesomely from the front to almost the back, then I think the they went on vacation when they got to the rear of the car! I want to have the car look so close to "right" while people are wondering what is not "right". I want to remove the small front dagmars in the grille and add a couple more grille bars where they were. Fill the hole in the hood and strip the emblems, but leave the awesome Buick side trim. Of course have the whitewalls and more than likely Caddy hubcaps (but not sure with the caps yet). I would like to do a 2" front and 3" rear chop, but not sure if I have the talent for that at this point!
The Camaro as most know, has a TT SBC and a TQ arm rear suspension under it, all home built in the garage with help from friends. I have yet to do any "light" Sheetmetal work on anything, so hopefully I can learn on this Buick custom with some killer Baileigh equipment!!
