Nice metal fab. Looking forward to the rest of your build. I like the looks of the 71, but its just small stuff, over the 72.
i love the look of the 69 best. one of a kind look. over all gm cars. but just to have a gs is great! and for what this car is and how little rust , i could not be happer. i love it.:3gears:
hello harold how you doing?:beer ya just giving it as much time as i can. i was going to e-mail you i`m still in need of some parts. things like a 7 blade fan for a big block gs and shroud. a stock radiator that came in the stage 1 (72) i do need all numbers to be right. if i think of more i`ll e-mail but ya good to see you still have buicks on your mind..
You GOTTA know I'm kidding!!!! We all know the kind of numbers the 70s pull when it's time to sell one. Higher compression motors, etc. It's just nice to see somebody put together a 71 or 72. I love them all.:TU:
I started my project in 09 and am just finishing it up. The work is time consumming and tedious but well worth it when you get to drive. What your doing shure looks like nice work. Please keep the pics comming I love being able to see a great build in progress:TU::kodak:
thank you for you kind words, i to love to see pics of builds in progress it gives me a kick in the a$$ to stay on my car.
Let me know Ray, I still have stuff here. I acquired a shroud, but think it's for a big car? My son crashed his Lesabre, probably totaled. How did you make those perfect window channels on the driver side back window, might have to do the same on my '71?
hello all i have not done to much on my car. i found out i had lung cancer in oct. and was in for surgery a week later! (oct 30). i was home on the 1st of Nov.i had( VATS upper lobectomy) they cut out half my left lung~ yup two and half days.and i was home.out of work for 4 weeks.and now back to work.. i am vary vary vary vary lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am cancer free 100% and dr. said small chance of it coming back.. i am lucky because they never find it so early 95% of time, last year oct 30 2011 we got snow and the next day i went out to start my van to melt off the ice and i fell and broke a rib, so a week later ( after my wife naggin me )i went to get a x-ray and they found two spots on my lung. so i had a ct scan then 3mo later ct scan and dr. said not to worry looks like going away so 6mo later ct scan and one spot was gone and one was bigger, went in for a pet scan and to see a surgeon and here we are. 4 days after i had surgery my wife got in a bad accident with my truck she walked away with just bumps and scraps and a concution,so she was out of work for a week and half day after her accident i took her to the dr,s ans on the way home we blow the motor in her car,WHAT THE F**K I SAYS! I look over at my wife and with tears in her eyes she just start to laughing so we just sat there on the side of the road and laugh. so how can i say i am lucky you ask? well we both could had died and we are still on the right side of the dirt!! wife got a brand new car and we got 28,500.00 for the truck,i only payed 30,000 for it new in 2007 it was a 40,000 truck and it only had 32000 mi on it but thats when all went to hell for the dealers..i will post some pic of the truck. i will be back on my gs this weekend!!
Well Ray I'm glad you have not lost your sense of humor. Congrats on kicking cancers azz!! I hope you and Cindi fully recover and get going on that '72 again. Did Superstorm Sandy affect you guys up there? I've still been outta work since the mill closed back in April, really frustrating looking for work. Lots of close calls but nothing yet. Here's to a much better 2013 for us all!! Harold
so back to my buick.. i did get a new tool to help with the work! ROTISSERIE! man how did i ever do this on my back,i must be just a slut at heart :moonu:
I always wondered who bought Stewart's Stage 1. Congrats, Ray. Awesome car, and very solid indeed. I went and looked at it when it was for sale, but I already had several projects and was really looking for a 70 GS (just for you, Kevin!). Did you get the NOS 455 short block he had in the crate sitting next to the car? Glad you survived the cancer and the wife is ok from the wreck. Keep up the good work on the GS! :TU:
