The hood looks real nice on there Ghost!  It's nice to see them hood lines on a Hotrod, definitly gives it a good look.

madmike3435  Have you had any trouble with the flex plate on the engine in front of the 700R-4.I have torn two of the centers out of two of the flex plates,Not any more i went with a flex plate from a 78 Nove 6 cylinder with a 350 tranny and hooked that 700R-4 up to that  no problem and twice the flexplate  look her up   vette59jdwl

NOPE, PUSHING ABOUT 420 HP AND NO FLEXPLATE PROBLEMS, GET THEM FROM GM OVER THE COUNTER.   I DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 2 OF THE 3 BOLTS IN THE CONVERTER COMING LOOSE AND ONE COMPLETELY OUT ,  AND CAUSING A BIG PROBLEM AND HAD TO REPLACE THE CONVERTER AND THE FLEX PLATE.

My roadster will need a top. I doubt if it will fold. I am trying to preserve as much trunk space as I can and intend to build a top that can fit in a small package stored there. I'd like to see all of what you did on your top.

Hi guys. The new owner sent me a couple of pictures of my old 26 Buick after he did another ground up rebuild of it. He stated he is gonna trailor queen it for awhile, and then after he has shown it then start driving it again.
I like what he has done. He lowered the tail pan and created a nose chin to cover the frame along with a bunch of other changes

Still a great looking car Ghost!  Very tastefull changes, sometimes they aren't.  You did a great job on it to start with!  Thanks for posting the update on it, still a classy looking Hot Rod.🙂👍

sweet, excellent choice of wheels and paint colour.  Has a great stance, 4 spoke steering wheel looks great.

I have had my 35 std 3 w coupe since 1970, not sure I could see it go to another home .
