What's up fellow buick friends. My project got a little out of hand. I was just going to replace the body mount bushings and ended up here. Why stop now.

Mine started out the same way..... Looks great! But gotta ask ya. Why not "box" in the center section of the frame. Nice job replacing/reinforcing your body mount holes. Keep the pics coming. Kirban sells a nice "stock" body mount kit. Has all the bushings and hardware. Also, buy the two "GNX" bushing. Will ride very solid when finished.... It won't float and it won't feel like you're driving a dump truck.

I was thinking about boxing it in but for what I use the car for (weekend driver) I didn't think it was necesary. I'm going to add a few bolt-on supports and call it a day. Really just want to get it back together and enjoy it.
 
More parts to come.

I did the exact same thing.. Mine started as a valve cover r&r.. 10k later I'm still buying crap cause how in the world can you put that old, ugly, greasy part on when everything else is new or looks like a brand new penny!
