Customs Round 2! 1940 Buick Super. Kustom

Ratty_aussie. Making stainless frames for the back quarter windows. The wing windows will be made to the doors and the side door windows will still roll up and down. It should be 90% water tight. A lot of stainless welding for my good buddy Robbie. He'll hate me after that project. Lol

 

Awesome, sounds like you've got it sorted. Keep up the good work.

Some more progress on the hood. I can only be amazed at Robbie's work.



I started making templets for the side glass as well. I can't wait for these babies to be done as well.



Thanks guys for looking.

 

Dirty,your pair of 112 is in good condition huh... Keep on kustomizing

I wish I did. If I did I would help you out in your sweet build. Sorry man

 

Bubbled the skirts with the English wheel. Looks even better

 

Looking good. Hoe do the mount to the fenders?

Damn!!!! The only thing is they are perfect. It would be worth it. Re chromeing is expensive.
The skirts bolt on on the lower corners and on the top they slide in two holes to lock them in.

 

Think I'll opt for the more cost effective Unitys.

Those Appleton's would end up costing me $2000 plus with the exchange rate, tax and shipping Damn Australia!

That's not cheap. If I find some at a good deal I will pass them to you. I share.

Both of you guys are more then welcome. I could think of a few neighbors I would love to have move out and you guys move in. Keep it up gentlemen

 

Awesome, appreciate it.

Might take you up on that one day. Fell in love with the place when I was there last year.

Love your work. Building something truly unique and cool. A lot of thought talent and imagination. But then you let it down fitting a common, regular un imaginative small block chev and auto. Why? There are so many cool power plants that could of been used to continue the uniqueness and cool of the car. But with the hood closed still a neat car.

 

I agree it's very very common. But I do drive the shit out of my cars. I live in nor cal and I would rather drive my car to a so cal show then trailer it. So it's a reliable and easy to get a part if I brake down. The motor will be creatively dressed up with traditional parts. And yes the hood will be closed. I hate open hoods on cars at shows. I guess just wait and see.

 

^^^ couldn't agree more.

Some more Sunday fun day pics. Robbie worked on the surface the latch will be mounted on. Hopefully 3 more weekends and it'll be done. Then I can finally put a drive train in her.





And on a side note I got my 8 week throw down 28 roadster on the ground and driving. This will be my summer ripper and then she'll be sold to pay for some chrome or some paint for this ride.

 

Is that a Volkswagen latch? Looking good. Nice ripper too!

 

Lowcoe no sir it's just a generic "hot rod" latch. Lokar set up. It looks like one but it has the secondary safety to it. I do have a Volkswagen latch on my rear deck lid. Lol
Thank you.

 

Here's a little more progress hopefully the hood will be done in 2 more weeks. Enjoy

 

Ding dong the hood is done. Thank you baby Jesus. This is something that took more time and was way harder then chopping the top or anything else we've done on this car. A big shout out and a bigger thank you to my friend Robbie for all of your help and skills.

 

The cars home time to finish up the engine bay and I can drop the motor in.

 

I'm glad that you are fighting on D.N! Those Cadillac bumpers,Ford teardrop headlights and Buick grill are awesom together! Dirty... Keep on fighting...

Your little Roadster is sweet! That Buick is coming along nicely too!

 

Very awesome build man. I love how you are not going crazy with the customizing and keeping the build very pure. I just picked up a 41 Buick coupe, in the planning phase for it now. I am looking for a set of rear fenders if you know of any.

 

agree. hey Tin Can, love to see your ride at Iron Invasion Woodstock IL - McHenry County Fairgrounds Oct 3

 

I have a good 62 thunderbird now. It will be there
