72 Stage 1 build

Ok here we go.......

Frame just painted.

 

Paul that paint is a little too flat unless your not worried other than that it looks good Where on earth did you find a frame that nicep

 

Yeah, it's a bit satin finish, ceramic.

Some guy had 1 for sale, couldn't pass it up.

I'm not building a show car or correct car.

Tom and I want to do as much as possible ourselves.

 

Ok Ill let it slide this time keep the pics coming

 

Rear end staged with springs, rear axle brake lines.

 

looking good. lots of fun ahead. keep the pics comimg.

 

Get R Done!

 

Spring has hit, lawn business is in start up mode..... Poor ole Buicks taking a back seat.....

 

And there is it the paradox we have to work to pay for the cars but while were working the car is sitting:Smarty:

 

Ok, engine has been gone through. Aluminum pistons, good, block good, AM &P heads good, 10:1 compression,
Bad camshaft because the distributor gear was torn up...... Crank needs turning.

Big ? What camshaft to put in in front of 400 turbo transmission.

I guess a stock Stage 1 camshaft for 72 ?

My guess is and confirmed by Button machine is the motor is very healthy.

I would like to keep it street able but I want to make it move.....

Open for suggestions and what else do I need to look at before deciding?

Thanks, Paul

 

Ok rear end rebuilt and in, brake lines installed back there.

Front suspension, springs, a arms, steering components..

Set the body back on.

 

if there are no pictures... We have to assume it didn't happen. Don't make us beg... Please? ray:

 

Yeah, pictures say it all. I will try this week, need to. Get the chassis rolling so I can put it on my trailer.
