Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Where are you having it dipped? I've thought about that for my 55 Pickup (when I get back to it). It will be great to work with clean, rust free metal!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Bad news, the place in Jackson has stopped their services. Back to square 1

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I looked into the Jackson operation several years ago - stopped by there and it was impressive. There is a shop in Louisiana that also does dipping, I can't remember the name. I will look and see if I have a name/phone number later today.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
There is a place in Jackson, MS....but that might be a haul for you. I think it is actually associated with the Nissan dealer. Have to ask my friend.

It may be the same place that closed, but ask your friend anyway please.

Got a couple of pics of Sarah banging out some metal for the bride. She loves the new plasma cutter!

Nice progress on the Buick Drewski and Biz. It's cool you have your family involved with the project.
Digging the new sandblast cabinet too. |

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Still coming apart times 2! It's kinda cool that the dash completely unbolts from the car. It is also kind of nice that you know if it won't come loose, there has to be a bolt or screw holding it. No sneaky hidden or trick fasteners designed yet in 57. No prying needed, just look behind for the bolt!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Saturday night picture time!
This week I power washed/blasted the body shell of all dirt, mud, rust scale, etc. and am getting ready for rust treatment. Today I started cutting up a partially crushed fender to make patches. First patch is actually a reinforcing bracket to make sure the newly radiused frame rail clearancing will stay put and not oilcan down and hit the modified frame rails. (detailed earlier) Next was bead blasting some floor patch panels - readying them for installation. I'll need to also rust treat them before welding them in. Maybe tomorrow.
