54 Buick at Goodguys Lonestar Spring Nationals today

The two builds look similar in design which is what caught my eye on the olds.

How was that chassis to install? aside from trans tunnel and tubs, and floor cutting required?


Gearheads - no build thread yet. basics are 324 TT olds/ OD auto trans, bags and some sort of aftermarket or mid 90's impala frame.

You can say what your opinion is on them. But..... this car is built to drive and is going to be driven like a rental car. So with that said why do a one-off wheel? The last time I checked too they are a Billet Specialties Profile Series wheel which to me isn't a joke at all. Your making it out like it has Boss or American Racing wheels on it. I tried to build this car to be somewhat timeless and I think it is. The Olds was done the same way and is almost 10 years old and still will kick ass today. I post this up on our website and if you need any build pictures let me know what your looking for and I'll make it happen!!! Thanks, Curt

I loved the build. What I would really like to see is the fab pics you had in the book in the trunk and any more you are willing to share.

Sounds like we are on a lot of the same page. Also planning TT early rocket on my build.

Quick hijack, I got an early olds 3x2 intake sitting on the floor if one of you guys want that look (which would be AWESOME) under the hood.
Lemmie know if your interested!

What motor is it for.

[takid455]

what intake? have an eldelbrock one w/ 94's and would be willing to change it up if you had a diff make w/ 97's.

It's a factory iron one with no carbs, I stole them off it for my wagon. Might sell them if the price was right I guess. I think it's a J-2, the carbs are 2G's.
I can get the numbers off it if you want.

If its iron its a J2
