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.
