My project hot air restoration

Today I received the first pix of my frame fresh out of the sand blasting booth. It should be done getting powder coated by the middle of next week.

Looks good Luis. Now comes the fun part, putting it all back together. I should've powder coated mine.

Keeping in mind that I have 2 Buicks 1 being a Regal limited & the other 84 t-type, I am converting the limited to a turbo engine (hot air) well trying to stay true to hot air because it seems like so much more parts are available for intercooled engine. These are some parts that I been working on for my engine build. As u can already see, my frame is already powder coated. I am currently working in the trunk area because my limited had hydraulics in it & I am removing them hence changing the frame! I will keep posting pix to update u guys on my build. I am a car enthusiast & like seeing other peoples work so I put out what I'm doing so that maybe someone can enjoy what I'm doing!

Trunk is not fully finished but it's coming along.

I'm sure that's not something you want to put on a public forum. LOL

If you need any ideas on the frame just ask. Mine's just about done and it aint stock at all.

Lookin good! Seems like your doing right by her. Im sure she's very happy gettin the automotive equivalent of cosmetic plastic surgery, some new boobs, tummy tuck, all the way down to the manny/peddy at the end in the hair salon, or garage as we know it! I've been givin my baby 85' hotair GN open heart surgery for the past six months. Motor, suspension, mechanicals, everything brand new, rebuilt, refurbished. Interior. I powder coated the stock wheels black, new bf's. Looks sick! Still going. She'll be done soon. Will post pics and details in a thread soon.
Its nice to see someone with the same disease or love affair if you will, as me. Keep up the good work, and keep us all posted! Love it! =) nice job so far! Subscribed. -James

Looking good. Frame-off’s are always very inspirational, spirited, and expensive projects.

[luisturbog]

I'm a meticulous m'efer! I clear coated my bolts so they don't rust up!

 

[luisturbog]

Lots of hours going into this project. I have to hit the junk hard to find some small parts. I wish there was a all Buick junk yard close to me!
