Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
The Turks and Caicos is probably a good place to be having to work at.
 I hope it's all going well Drew!

Being backed up because of time spent helping others is good. Glad you could help.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Drew,
I can't possibly tell you how excited I am to see this build. I literally bought a 57 Roadmaster last year, and intend to start it next summer when I get home from deployment. You do such good work, and i'm happy to see what i'm getting myself in to  Keep it up! How are things going with this?!? |

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
So sorry for not having any updates on this build, we have purchased a 150 acre farm and all my energies and money are being diverted to that now. We'll probably build a new shop with apartment first and move out there mid 2019. I'll have a lot more room for projects and will start back up then.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Just finished the thread up to here. Finished reading Young Frankie last week. These have been inspiring me to work on my 71 Suburban 4x4. I rebuilt the transmission a few months ago and I'm rebuilding the engine now. As luck would have it, even with a previous engine rebuild, it is a numbers matching engine minus the cylinder heads.
Hopefully you find some time to finish this Buick up. |

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Well....... the Buick is still as we left it before the move out to the farm last year. We are loving it out in the country on 155 acres, but there is so so much to do. No time for car projects unfortunately.
I did need a getaway car for my son's wedding though, and so I broke down and bought the Buick's kissing cousin. A 1958 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. This is the same main body stamping shared between Buick and Cadillac. Same roof, glass, a and b pillars, etc. From there its all different though. It was fully restored 6 years ago with over $36,000 spent. Rebuilt engine, new trans, new bodywork and paint, complete interior, etc. It was a sunday driver for one family from 1961 until January when I bought it. True 86,000 mile car, minor surface rust on undercarriage only. VERY NICE and all for just $21,000!!!!

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
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.
