Projects Winter Project:1956 Buick Hardtop TONS OF PICS

Cool man! Ours was basically stock, we where just gonna lower it, tune it up, and drive it. See how well that worked out for us? hahaha

Where in missouri are you at? Im in Illinois near St. Louis

 

I gotta '56 Buick Hardtop that I'm going to take the frame out of and put a 59 Buick LeSabre frame, engine, transmission, and rear end under it. Hope to be as far along as you.

 

Nick its time for an update.

 

I dont know how I missed this

Lookin good

You coming to autorama this year? The plan is to have my buick there this year

 

Really have my interest, are you still plugging away?

 

Wow, last update was over a year ago......how embarrassing. Oh well, updates should be up sometime soon. Took a break on the car for a while.

 

Any updates??

 

Very nice 56 Buick hardtops are sweet!

 

ahh the 56" , excellent choice my friend!

 

the unofficial update is; the 3-link is finished.

 

Looking good. I just bought a 57 buick.

 

Just tuned in. Really enjoyed the read so far. Don't leave us in suspense!!!!!

 

AAAAAAAAAAAND over 2 years later but we are back. Dad got the rear suspension all fabricated. Some welding and trimming needs to be done but it goes up and down nicely. I'll let him chime in if he wants to give you some details since he was the one doing all of the work (with some help from my cousin Michael).

 

Wow...progress!

Nice...I figured we'd start seeing progress again, since winter is coming.

Thanks everyone. I told my dad to get on here and give some details. He put a lot of work into that rear suspension, I think it's going to ride really nice! We were also able to pick up a nice rear glass since ours is scratched up really bad.

DeuceDog, I loved the burger at that Wally's Drive-Inn place near you! Sorry I texted you on such short notice. I didn't realize we would be so close and that we'd be there until lunch time. Wish we could have planned something to meet up.

 

Nick, wait till I'm in the new shop. Would love to have you and Dad stop by to check out the 36.

That would be great! We would definitely be down for that! I might go to Lukes soon so he can weld up my BSA pipes for me. If I do I will let you know when.

 

Hope this project is still alive - we need a progress report

 

Nick....you still have the car?
I've been in the new place since May...No visit! I guess it's to far to drive.
