Tom

Your quality of work is first class! (and $$$$)

Ed

Thanks Ed, as far as the $$$ I've been saving my pennies for a while and my wife gives me a good allowance Ha Ha!

Dang Tom. That's some quality work, and after looking over your shop I had to go out and spend some time just cleaning up my shop.

I use part of my allowance for a maid that comes in once a week!

Tom, your car looks great! You did an awsome job on the frame and front suspension. I can't wait to start another project so I can try that rotisserie idea. I just keep learning more and more from you guys.

[TFoch]

Thanks Jim, I can't take all the credit. I get a lot of help from friends and my Dad.  I've learned a lot from guys on here and the HAMB.  I have to admit I look at the stuff Ghost does very closely to see if there is anything I can learn.  It's what makes this hobby the best! Get that exhaust done so you can take yours for a ride!

Hi Tom. I am probably not gonna use the chevy splash aprons on the buick. I will check with the guy I got them from to see if he wants them back or how much he might want for them if your interested....John

[TFoch]

Thanks John but I bought a decent one a while back.

I spent the day bending brake lines and making flares. Also got the fuel line and tank installed.  Once I get the hoses for the rear brake cylinders I can bleed the brakes and get the engine and trans back in.

Looks good Tom....I see your keeping Wilwood in business

[TFoch]

No Wilwood calipers just 80's GM.  I want to be able to go to NAPA or Advanced Auto if I need replacement parts.

[themoose]

Tom...Did the GM calipers come with the front suspension or did you have to adapt them?

[TFoch]

It came with the front end from TCI. You could have the Wilwood calipers for some extra cash.

Thanks I appreciate the compliment.  I need to take your advice and stay busy busy and get it done.  I'm glad you decided to do yours instead of selling it.
