    73BuickGS455 A Long Restoration

    I got some work done to my 73 GS this weekend.

    1) Finished taking the seats out and took all the carpet up.

    2) Fond some things under the carpet; I have questions about.

    3) Did A LITTLE body work(removing some rust).

    4) Took the driver side exhaust down and out.

    5) Sprayed bake parts down with WD-40 To losen them up.

    6) Started to fix the brake line

    Here are some pictures. More to come tommorow.

    Thanks,
    Anthony

    Had a small Midas exhaust system on it, had to peel the axle pipe off the muffler to take it down; needed to get to the brake line.

    Looks as though you need a mig welder to get those pans in. Is it going to be a frame-on resto?

    I'm getting the body shop to weld in the floor pans along with the roof.

    I'll get back to you on that on-frame resto tommorow.

    Rob, It is going to be an frame-on resto, for now. If I have the extra money, I'm gonna do an frame-off resto. :Brow:

    We'll see. :3gears: The important part is that it will be better and much meaner.
    Here is a picture of it.
    Thanks.

    thanks Cody!

    Thanks Cody, its a little long taking everything apart but it will go together quick. BTW, I'm takin ghte engine out on July 30th!!! Who-Ho! :grin:

    Cody actually, the floor pans are from The Parts Place Inc. ( www.thepartsplaceinc.com )

    But I didn't order it from them, when I picked up my roof from Mike Z. he sold them to me because he wasn't using them. I have about 3 bodyshop to go with so I gotta get prices.

    More info to come on the progress of the GS!

    Thanks,
    Anthony
