Also, I forgot to add that it's a 1936 Buick, I believe it's a series 60, but I'm not sure..... I can't wait to get the straight 8 fired up.
Let me know what you guys think of it!

Noooooooo..... Don't photochop it... Unless you do something good
And the body is pretty straight, The bottom of all 4 doors are rotten (about the bottom 1"), and the entire floor pan needs replaced, but It should just take a couple sheets of 16 guage steel. After that, and a couple more patches areound the back bumper, it will be ready for a skim coat of Z-grip, and a good paint job (I know there is tons more inbetween that.....)
Can't wait to drive it for the first time, I'm going to have to get a big cigar, a pin striped ganster suit, and a tommy gun

Very cool Buick, what the story on her.
I honestly don't know much.... I bought it off of a guy who at one time have 300+ antique cars around his house, then he got cancer (to put it lightly.....), and he said he bought it for $2000, and I'm guessing had it parked under a shed with about 30 other cars when I bought it, and it was sitting there for about 15 years I think. And I bought it for $2500. That's about all that I know..... He didn't know any history on it either, he just bought it to collect.

I didn't know what the beuty rings came off of, but they looke better than nothing. Maybe a set of 39 chevy one's that I have laying around will fit better, if not I'll try and find some NOS ones.
Anyone notice the Dodge tail lights?

We got the original straight 8 running and WOW, that is the first time I have ever heard a straight 8 run, and it sounded really good for a car made in 36..... Ran better than my RX-7 that I sold to buy it to!

Found the link from a helpful subscriber to the new Rat Rod mag.
I checked it out and they have a TON of links for GM and Ford str8s' but hardly anything for the Dodge Chrysler blocks.
Oh well looks like I'm having to rummage the implement suppliers for parts.
By the way don't chop that top. Not unless you put a substantial forward rake in it anyway.Any dolt with a Torch and Welder can customize a car.
Real artists use what God bestowed on em.
