Interesting project

Sorta off topic but an interesting project. Custom 1954 Buick with a 55K engine.

Fascinating link.... went through all the pics - if you have time its good therapy until you get to a pick of the wire harness - had cold sweats and shivers there.

Incredible attention to detail. The G55 instrument cluster looks very out of place but they made it fit perfectly.

The link of the air intakes into the front wheel wells was interesting.

The final colour not to my taste though ... been through 3 "episodes" it is not finished so I imagine there is a 4th?

Wokmanship and planning is truely amazing - would take a good diyer in his garage a lifetime and the finish would still not be close.

I wonder how long this project has taken?

Gorgeous. I want it. Check that, I want to build one. I would roll up to a muscle car meet with a mean sounding V8 and watch everyone be astonished when its not a chevy under the hood.
