Move on

[Macbuick]

Hi,

As I'm moving to my new house next week, the Buick had to be on wheels to move.
.

So the rear axle went back



as well as the engine


I tried the Procharger on it but found an isssue with the brackets for the steering pump.




i bought the kit from XS Performance (now out of business) and it seems they didn't used the same pump to create the brackets !

i will have to make some new ones


I also bought Poston valve covers on E-bay...


When i see all the quality builds on this forum, i'm ashamed to post pictures of my car..... i have to say that i'm in the mock up process, that's why some parts are still rusted or not cleaned (for example, i have the new brake booster but still in the box as i'm not at this part of the build now...).
I want to drive it before biginning the full restoration.
So be kind with a little european pro-tourer...

Nothing to be ashamed of...you do what you can with what you have.

Post away!!!

Looks like a nice start to me. Most of the people that put down cars don't eben have one or theirs is still stuck in the garage like mine Post more pictures as the build continues.

The following weeks will be used to work in my new house (mostly new paint on the walls), upstairs and .... also downstairs, where i will have a much nicer place to work on my cars...but i have to paint the walls and floor of the 1500sq ft garage....
I will post pics asap

This is the new house:



this is the garage :







another part of the garage (i will make an opening at the end to gain acces for cars without needing to move the Buick ):

So i started to work again on the Buick, but things can't always go right !
My Ron Davis Radiator doesn't sit right in his upper mounts in the upper radiator support ....





I bought it from TA Performance, so it should have sits in a Buick !

nice garage. ashamed? you haven't seen my car yet, yours look like a dream.

[Knaller]

Agree! Nice garage. Not to mention the cars....

[Macbuick]

The radiator is ok

mocking and cutting....







i think i will replace the carb hat....it's ugly with the spacer, i prefer an one piece hat....problem they all have a 3.5" diameter for the hoses, so i will have to also buy and adapter 3.5" to 3" as my tubing is 3".

Next step : bolting the intake and the valve covers....so i can go on with the rest....
