1926 buick roadster
ghost28:
I figured I would start an official build thread for the roadster and get out of the genreal conversation area. So here goes. I bought this car as a basket case here in Colorado, and so far I have just tacked the car together to get a feel for it and decide on the build direction. I have decided to build it fenderless, but with the option of adding the fenders if I so desire. it will have a 62 buick 401 engine and a gm 4 speed combo. The car was too long with the 120 inch wheel base and most of the length was in the seating area of 48 inches, so the rear of the body along with the frame will have to be cut 6 inches to get the proportions right. so far the body has been cut and the door jambs have been reinstalled. then I have installed some lower drivers side replacement panels. I have ordered the adaptor kit for the 4 speed conversion. Now we are all updated for the build thread. I hope you guys will follow along
