    I finally am finished with Big Bertha, my 49 Buick Super. It has a 455/700R4 driving 3.73 gears and tall 235/70-15 tires. It has VintageAir AC, FatMan front suspension, 4 link rear suspension, coilovers all 4 corners, bluetooth hidden stereo, cruise control, etc.

    There are several custom touches to this car visually. You just have to know what to look for. Thanks to Dave Tumas for his help with my 455. Also, thanks to Rick Kennedy, Steve Gibson and Richard Beggs for help with the upholstery, paint and general build.

    The pictures don't do this build justice.

    Great build. Glad I could help with the motor.
