Re-Introduction: Finally Have a HAMB Friendly Ride....

I've owned a 1965 Impala since the age of 17 (I'm 38 now) its bagged has 20" wheels and certainly isn't HAMB friendly. Yesterday I pulled the trigger on purchasing a 1950 Buick Special 2 Door Jetback. I fell in love with the body lines on these cars a few years back and have been on the hunt for a project car since. I'm planning to get it low (4 link & bag the rear...probably static drop up front), ditch the torque tube drive train, un a 401 Nailhead and maybe chop the top at some point down the road (if I can grow the balls to do it).

I'm looking forward to learning from and eventually contributing the this community.

Here's a few pictures of the car. It's rust-free except the floor pans and is 99% complete, even though you wouldn't know it from the pictures.

 

Awesome, love the rear end of them. Welcome!

isn’t the cut off now 1965? I re-read the rules the other night and it says 65 is the cutoff now,

Welcome from Southwestern Illinois! Your Buick is super cool! I love the nailhead idea. I’m a diehard Chevy guy, but the other engines are cool too. Especially a Buick in a Buick.

Well shit...it looks like you’re right. The styling still isn’t very HAMB friendly though...

 

hmm, I wouldn’t know what to tell you.
