Where we are

Here is where we sit right now.

Transplant has begun

Here are a few pictures taken from tonight. The first are of the old frame and engine and transmission - a Buick Wildcat 445 and a Triple Turbine Dynaflow - what do I do with those. The Buick is sitting above, and body mounts are being measured / placed above. The rear axle has to move four inches forward as well. It's coming together quite nicely - Great work Chevy Ave!

Here is the future chassis

The future chassis will be a 1975 Suburban 1/2 ton trailering special with a 454 and Turbo 400. Looking sweet.

The Buick lift

Here are a few pictures of the Buick being lifted off its 48 year old frame - it's a little tired. I am glad we are doing this - the frame gets really narrow in the rear - where the hitch is. Once this up high enough, the old chassis will be pulled out and the new will be inserted underneath - Chevy power.

Mid way, long ways to go

This 59 Buick was purchased to be our main tow vehicle for our 1958 Airstream. As such, we are moving the Buick body over to our locally found 1975 1/2 ton Trailering Special Suburban chassis that will be powered by a 454 V8. The chassis is being prepped now, and the Buick will be moved over later next week. I'll catch up with what we've done so far.
