We are cutting the front bumper to make a\u00a0split bumper and\u00a0 we will have to fab them in.\u00a0 Then we’ll have to fab in the grill.\u00a0 As we go through this we will be changing the total beauty line of the car.\"cars<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have also cut and split the back bumper.\u00a0 Fabbed them in and putting in the camera system.\u00a0 Took out the long tail lights and fabbed in double tear drops.\u00a0 \"IMG_0118\"<\/p>\n

If you know 52 Buicks you would under stand that the back 1\/4 panels would be attached by bolts, we have change so many thing and so we welded them in.<\/p>\n

Now lets look at the old engine compartment and the new firewall.\"IMG_0121\"<\/p>\n

With it being a conv. we’ll be bracing it up to support and keep the body straight while we get it all back together.\"IMG_8298\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0We are brassing up the sides to keep it staight, because it is a convertible.<\/p>\n
