    Hi, My name is Dan. I live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. I recently picked up a 1957 Buick project and thought I would join the board here. My plan for this project is more of a street rod build. The car will retain its original looks but will have a updated suspension and braking system and sit on 18" & 20" wheels. It will be running a 430 with a Offenhouser 2X4 1-7/8" primary 3" collector headers and Switch Pitch ST-400. Out back I have a 57-64 Olds/Pontiac 9.3 posi. I look forward to meeting everyone and leaning more about these old Buicks. Thanks Dan

    That Forklift comes in pretty handy, huh? I see a rubber tracked mini excavator back there, too. :grin:
