H.a.m.b 1957 Buick club

Well we have a few guy's here who have a 57 Buick so lets get pic's and all things 57 Buick going in one spot so it can grow help and inspire. The more kool pics the better.

 

Come on where are you all ?

 

Why does it have to be a club?

 

Not nearly as nice as zman's, but I'll post a picture anyway.

 

Well I guess it dont have to be a club but I was just following the trend that is emerging on here zman and it is a great way to put 1 type of car in the one place and make it easy to find pics and info.......

So lets keep this one going it's always so hard to get info and help with a 57.

By the way zman I fargin love your car...

 

Here is mine....I've been working on this one on and off for a few years now but as anyone knows who owns a 57 its a costly road and parts are a problem...I have 4 bared the rear end and 9 inched it and airbaged it. I'm just makeing the new rear floor sections to allow the top 4 bar to lower the car all the way. Both the sills have been replaced as well as most of the floor sections. The car is in polly at the monment and soon I will prime it.

 

Yeah, the club thing is kind of a joke, we can all thank 3WLarry for that one.

 

Here a a few more of the build on my 57.

This is our 57 special. The goals this year have been to locate missing stainless mouldings and various parts. Laurie and I had great success and fun in a short time with her knowledge of salvage yards around her childhood home. I'm in the process of nosing hood,shaving door handles,stripping back to metal appling wash primer,epoxy primer,primer surfacer for blocking out.Laurie has the colors from HOK kosmos red with black lower. I want to lower the car may do air but not sure if wallet will allow. Today the entire car in epoxy primer and to be sprayed with primer surfacer. Then install rear floor pans. The last picture car 98% complete maiden voyage 45 miles on the 401 nailhead to show co workers car really exist!

 

ZMAN, TWOCHOPS AND HIDEZ57 those are some sweet rides. You other guys have some catching up to do but it looks like you have some nice metal to work with and sounds like you have the drive too.

 

Finshed my dash,but still need a radio to fit the old opening
