    What am I working with?

    No doubt, but wouldn't be able to build it myself. Would cost a significant amount more, and wouldn't carry near the DD reliability I'd be looking for based on what I've read the past six months in my studies.

    What am I working with?

    Goldilocks has made it to what I hope to be her final resting place, before being resurrected with some modern bits. Got her moved in and am largely settled in the new space. After a lot of daydreaming and reading, I think I have a build plan. I bought a Turbo-T not a GN or WE4 car for a...

    What am I working with?

    So a couple of guys have offered up old stocker parts to me, in this thread. Not wanting to violate any forum rules or social norms. Could anyone comment if it would be frowned on/well received to post up a want ad, looking to collect parts this gal needs that others just want to get rid of?

    New Member - Turbo Regal Limited (Need a Shipper)

    In case anyone else stumbles on this thread looking for a shipper, I can't recommend Passport enough. It was great dealing directly with the carrier (especially after all the harassing calls from the brokers). They beat their estimate by 2+ weeks. The driver was super accommodating and was...

    What am I working with?

    Current goal is get this gal out of there and into ‘shop truck’ duty at our coffee shop. The goal is to have the wagon tuned up and the engine out of the Buick before NYE. I’ll post up here as I start to tear into it.

    What am I working with?

    @Anthonyp I don’t wish bad weather for you, but do appreciate how your spending some of that time locked up inside! Also I appreciate all the advice and parts suggestions. I’m not worried about factory correctness. I want to build a healthy, modernized car that will put a grin on your face...

    What am I working with?

    Principle. It will be easier to clean up the engine bay and figure out what kind of shape everything is in. I also want to check the cam, replace the top end gaskets, etc. history has shown me that pulling it and putting it on a stand is way easier than trying to do all that in place. Plus then...

    What am I working with?

    @Anthony P You are the man! Talked to the pops today, plan is to pull the engine and put it on a stand over Christmas break. I'm making a punch list of things I need to buy, and research in the meantime (things like the above are hugely helpful). We'll get the engine freshened up on the...

    What am I working with?

    Definitely on the list. Never had any intentions of getting behind the wheel with the power master still in place.

    What am I working with?

    Thanks @Anthony P Just pinged Phoff to get a copy of his book. I've already been digging through all of those sights to get a feel for the market. Pretty sure I've viewed every single product Kirban sells at least twice before my car ever showed up. I enjoy the research and learning aspect of...

    What am I working with?

    Thank you. That’s been driving me nuts, but have been out of town and unable to pull a schematic and figure it out. I can recereate that without issue. I should also mention my partner in crime on this build is my dad, and engineer and long time wrench turner (his project is a 32 Buick). Where...

    What am I working with?

    Thanks everyone. I am cautiously optimistic, sounds like I have a ton of work ahead of me but I'm still excited to tackle the mountain of problems I inherited!

    What am I working with?

    Thanks for all the constructive feedback. It's more project than I wanted or realized I was taking on, but what's done is done (found it on eBay). I actually really enjoy bringing zombie cars back to life. One of my other current projects is a 69 Kingswood that as soon as it made it off the...
