I went and done it again, bought another project....!
I gots a disease brothers!! LoL!
I know that this forum isn't really "this kind" of car group, but I figured there may be some on there that may dig and have some advice for me. As much as I like PT stuff and my turbo'd camaro, I don't like having to work on it all the time! LoL! So my next passion is Kustoms, mild to wild. My "other" cars and projects are the 58 Nomad, a 58 Bel Air (both mild cruisers), and a 52 Buick. Well, it looks like my 52 radical custom project is going on hold even longer and has been pushed back by a 58 Buick Special 2 door HT. Story is crazy and too long to tell here. But I will say that it was my preachers pa in laws car and he had owned it since 63 and his parents had it before then! He started restoring it 15+ years ago and now with health problems he said that he just wants to see it finished and get to ride in it. He's got a lot of stuff done already, but there is a BUNCH of stuff still yet to do. It is completely disassembled and it's bad because it wasn't I that done it! DOOH!! My timeframe is a couple years to complete.
Current plans are to do just a mild custom with some shaved trim here and there and drop it to a nice respectable level. Original color was black, so I'll go back with that and maybe something different on the roof but not sure yet.
Does anyone have or know where to get parts catalogs for these or where best to research them since I don't know a whole lot about the Buicks.
I would post post some pics if I could get them to load from my iPhone.
