    The plan now is to get it back together and running driving and then do the chop. Good news is since I started this project I picked up a '41 cadillac coupe (same body as this '40 buick) so I've got a spare top in case the first chop goes bad.

    Doing a 40 pontiac now also, I want mine to sit low in the back like this, any pics of the finished rear, also have 2 Ford 9" housings set up for 69 Chevelle ladder bar/ coil overs want to swap out to bags, whats the best housing width for the chassis. Don't want to clip the front, and chance of bagging the original A arms or welding in a crossmember ?
     
  11. Great work, the progress is coming along nicely. Those Buick coupes always seemed to be an unappreciated car.

    Starting to look like a car again. I like the way the deleted running boards worked out.
