    Well, I dragged a Buick Roadmaster home and had my way with it. Ive found tearing apart a car to be good stress relief, especially when you have no intention of putting it back together. Ive placed the LT1 and auto between the frame rails of the Hup. Things look alot better. No distributor, rear sump, low intake height, and only two pedals to contend with.

    Nailhead Buick engines are very cool in a hotrod, especially if you are going for a retro look. The also have a lot of torque for their size and their are speed parts available. IMO, it is a lot better choice than the Ford V8.

    LT1 will make a nice combo. Use the Roadmaster for lots of little parts.

    I just found this car last night on this website. I bought the car from chicken legs a little over a year ago. This is my 5th rod even though I have done a lot I am still a year away form being finished. It is a drivable chassis now and the work goes on.
