This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    What to with 2 rusty old buicks sitting in a grave since 65'

    There is a 1951 and a 1952 buick roadmasters with straight 8's that have bullet holes no interior.

    Should i restore the better of the 2 (1952 model) or should i sell what i can off of them to a person that restores old buicks and use the money for the lesabre?

    Opinions wanted
    Pat

    P>S> should i turn it into a streetrod if i restore one of them?

    Dynaflow -

    The shiftless transmission that Buick used on their 40's to early 60's cars. I think 63 was the last year they used it, but I don';t know when it was introduced.

    Sell them and spend the money on your LeSabre. You'll be a lot less frustrated and you'll have LOTS more money to spend. Parts for the 50's Buicks in good shape are not exactly cheap or easy to find.

    I bought a gravel shield for a 49 Super for around $150. And it was definitely NOt perfect, but it did the job.

    I vote to sell.:Do No:
     
  4. Personally, I love the old Roadmasters. You would probably have a much easier time of doing one of the RM's if you weren't concerned about "correctness".

    Fixing up the 66 LeSabre would probably be easier, although interior and body parts would be hard to find for that car too, I would think.

    I'm partial to the 50's buicks that 52 could make one bad ass custom. Throw(or cram) a 401 in it and you could be the envy at any car show.
