'54 Buick musings......
The weather was almost tolerable today, so I walked a couple laps around my old Buford.... The car has a beautiful roofline, and no, Richard, I'm not going to chop it!!!!!What did fleetingly pass through my mind was how gorgeous the '54 drop top Bufords were, and maybe a removable hardtop would be a nice mod????
Then there's the tailights...Think it originally had some little round things in the top of the fender...but with a careful sectioning cut along the raised portion of the top of the quarter panel and about a 3" tall insert the baby fins could house a pair of '59 Caddy bullets on each side?????
Oh yeah, the hood is already louvered (think it's the law to have louvered hood on a 50's Buford), maybe the portholes need a bit of restyling?????
And, my buddy StuCool has me convinced to go with an LS type engine---and of course the mandatory (in my rule book) six speed trans.....
It's still about the 3rd project down the list, but I love the planning and parts acquistion part of a build..... Your input would be appreciated.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
