One of those might be a good look in my old Buick.

got the 220 fired up , welded the steering notch finally.  built a roll support in the cowl and notched the toe board brackets... will finally be able to cut up and weld the pedals where i need em and make the removable floor assembly .  Also will be tieing in rumble seat hinges ,   sending rear springs back to get de-arched and have my front axle on the way to SID's for a 3 inch drop, spindle /kingpins and a drag link.

Glad to hear you're making progress.  Do you have any pics?
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

cowl is primered ,  scored original cowl lights in great shape off ebay 50 bucks !!!   wood in the doors was in great shape so i left it and glued up the joints , they're very solid now , no flexing.  Still working out the zillion dings in the quarters  ::)    .  also i abandoned the rumble seat idea and am going with a trunk  , still figuring out what style hinges to go with , im thinking  original -ish looking paino hinge or something external and simple .

I'm jealous, I'd love to get a set of cowl lights for my 33.  Nice score.  The dings give it character!

I'm in no hurry.  If I came across a pair for the right price I'd grab them but I still have a lot to finish on the car.
