Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
That is crazy!
I bet you will save even more after all the crud is scraped off.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Scraping the crud off the Buick torque tube will only make them closer in weight!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I'm thinking there's more than 3 pounds on it, could the torque tube actually be lighter?

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Saturday night picture time!
I've got Rosie the un-riveter working with me today. Grinding down the rivet heads and then hitting them with the impact chisel to finish off the head. Then switch bits to punch them back through. 22 in all. Cut the middle of the crossmember out so we could pull it out one side at a time. Good day, lots of gunk to be scraped off still.

That air jack is nostalgic! Wish I had a dollar for every car I jacked up with those back in the day. "Gray" brand probably.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I love it! I actually bought 2 from a guy on Craigslist for $150, this one is clearly way older and works like a champ, the other one sadly will only lift itself. If you try anything heavy it just hisses. I'd love to rebuild it somehow, but have no idea how it even comes apart or if anyone sells a rebuild kit.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Moving on...... at least I thought I was.
Here I am mocking up where the Jag front member will be located and I've started on a new frame rail. As I pull the trigger on the first of what will be a long night of bodging things together, I get one tack and then..... out of wire. Yes, its Sunday night at 8 o'clock. Ugggghhh. I'll keep making parts to weld up for a little while tonight at least.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Another year, another new driver that needs to learn on Young Frankie. Our 72 Crew Cab) Tooling around in the graveyard with my youngest, Sarah. She's done great and hasn't run over anyone - wouldn't really matter even if she did since they're in the graveyard already.
It's been our tradition to learn in the graveyard (city folks) since it's very quiet, wide open, and full of gently curving roads. Next stop, learning permit on real roads!!!!

What would you do without the youngsters? They can make life exciting. Has she put in her request for a vehicle yet? Good to see this one going forward.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I quit trying to figure out why tablets and smartphones do what they do.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
This chunk of frame was in my way!
Working out my new boxed frame rails, I welded the inside rail up solid to keep the front rails in place when I went to cut out the chunk, now I'm fitting the outer rail and top and bottom pieces before I weld anything else. Once I get them all fitting together well, I'll weld this whole side up solid before starting anything on the far side. That way the front rails and bumper mounts never move from their original location (in theory).
