1928 buick 28-20 (Two Door)

[TiredIronGRB]

Got my wheels in and tires mounted, also got the steering done.

Picked up a disc brake S-10 axle for the rear, going to use the stock spring set up and ladder bars.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Got the rear suspension done now to tear it all back apart and paint it.

Got the front on the ground...almost rolling.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I was missing the drivers window garnish so I used the passenger side to go by and just made some.

 

[Bonehead]

So I guess the ones I sent did not work?

 

[TiredIronGRB]

No, but I think the door handles will work.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

She's rolling now, things should go a little faster now that I can move it.

Still lack the brake lines, shocks and mounts. Will sit lower once fuel tank and all the interior parts are back in.

Started the engine, .030 over 350.

Buicks lookin great! Nice looking long block sittin there too-should give some life to the old girl.

Way off base, but just found out that you work near Bill Basquette (aka Tailgater on a truck forum I frequent) who owns the red '48 Chevy one ton-a twin truck to mine. Small world this hot rodding stuff is, I guess.

Yea, I'm just down the hall from him.

Looks good Tired Iron!!

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Rolled it outside for the first time since I got it and degreased the frame and engine bay.

I have a new stock tire and wheel which I think I'll keep on the back.

The engine is done other that the intake and fuel system.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Update, I got the topend of the engine ready and started the engine and trans mounts.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Should have about an inch between the drive belt and the fan housing.

Brake pedal assembly mounted.

The stock gauge holes were oval so I took an old dash from a M151 military jeep and graphed it in to hold standard size gauges.

 

[Bonehead]

You may need a little more motor, that one looks kind of wimpy.

 

[Sam_Fear]

That is looking real good! Will look even better when you get that motor stuffed in it.
What are the one things called - are those fenders?

Yea, I can't help myself I just love fenders...if I want to see my tires I ride my rock crawler.

I think I am in love with your engine.

 

[1961F250]

Wow, I'd love to find one of those! Very cool!

 

[JustJoe]

That a damn cool project!! Keep posting those pics!!!

Cool project,But I see that the frame is not boxed. The first time that thing hooks up it is going to twist it like a pretzel.
