Looking' smooth and clean! Forgot how big those tanks are, many, many moons ago had Buick's version of a Fleetline, did it up with a J-2 Olds engine, trans, and rear end. Never did "finish" the car, just got it running and driving decent and pounded on it severely!!!! Finally crashed the thing and moved on to other projects----What can I say, I was a kid and both the car and the donor car were freebies!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
I have to say i cant count the people whos first impression is wow that car is hugeeee!
Reality! car weights 3,100lbs full of fluids ready to roll off the show room floor in 1948 thats 18 pounds more than a 1970 SB nova lol
So hopefully alot more people thing its a True "FAT" fender car lol when they wanna try and keep up with it lol
And this car i have on a diet no heater, radio a/c aluminun heads SB with many aluminun components so i think the car should come in pretty nice weight for good power to weight ratio,
