Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Pretty underwhelming Saturday night picture time. All I've done is drop the whole assembly again so I can get at the welds underneath.
Not much accomplished here since all last week I was scurrying around getting ready for my latest SportClips Grand Opening. We now have 6 locations as of Friday. I got a call from the CEO -Gordon Logan- today to congratulate me on our 6th location!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Congrat's on six sport clips. Are franchises numerous or are you acquiring, then turning around, underperforming locations?

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I have bought 4 locations, opened 2 new ones myself, and have 1 more new location to build out. Today we are looking at Clemson University with Biz and will probably stay for the game and homecoming festivities = no work to report on the Buick. Boooooo
I did happen to find a great picture of what we hope to end up with.

great looking car. I'm sure it will look better than that one knowing your work.

What model Miller welder do you have there? I'm looking at buying my first welder. I don't need anything to massive.

I run a Lincoln 180 on the farm and have been very happy with it.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Millermatic 180. I really love it. I used to have a Lincoln and it was definitely more crude than this new Miller. I killed the Lincoln halfway through my Young Frankenstein build.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Hi Drew
I'm George 57 Buicks are my favorite, you and your daughter are doing a great job on this one. I found you by following a link from the Buick Club. I'm in the process of doing this with on a 1930 Buick coupe.I've installed a Fatman fabrications front suspension and picking up tomorrow a C4 corvette rear suspension. You are a little ahead of me so i'm off to try and catch up. George |

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I've squeezed in a little more time between college visits and out of town weddings. Poor old Biz has been filling out college applications and writing college essays for weeks. She's hoping to get back out here soon.
Pics for today are of the Jaguar rear bumpstops that we almost forgot to install. I ended up having to cut open a spot on the bottom of a filler plate to make room for them. It is working out very nicely. While I'm down here I've been cleaning up some welds and plan on fully burning everything in.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Drew amazing, amazing, amazing. Just finished Frankie, followed you here, finished this one. Outa sight. FYI you have opened my eyes to "air bags" my next spot to peruse is the suspension forum. I'm just gathering data, for my 57 GMC 100 shorty, to have C-4 suspension both front and rear. I have 4 "Shockwaves" still in the box they came in, your issues with ride and confluted bags has me on the research war path. Any insight on Shockwaves? Thanks in advance NC

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I don't know how shockwaves ride, but the more air volume a bag has, the better chance it will have for a smoother ride. Judging from the size of shockwaves, and the shock running through the middle taking up more volume that could be for actual bag air...... I'd say it doesn't look good unless you mount them on a long lever.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
After a long hiatus, we are back on the bride and moving from the Super over to the Roadmaster. We began tearing down the green Roadmaster today. We will be using the Super frame that has the Jag suspension already grafted in and using the main shell of the Roadmaster body (and its vin and body tag).
We'll be picking and choosing the best parts available from all three 57's we have. The best doors are from the Super. Floors and main shell are best on the green Roadie. (Floors are actually perfect!) Got a quick jump on it and had the frame out within a few hours. We will put the green frame under the white car for now until we have stripped the white Super clean and then send it on to someone else for scavenging anything else off of it.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Hit it pretty much all day. Stuck the green frame under the white car and then put my hybrid frame under the green body. Bizzer was a champ all day with whatever I assigned!
