No interior yet, except for bucket seats from a 1999 Montana mini van, and no side glass.
It's not much to look at, but I've had a blast building it! It runs and drives fine and draws a lot of lookers at our local cruise.

Looks great to me - (tho that OEM rear end and the 4.33's would have to go)

A neighbor has had the Buick version on his front yard with a for sale sign on it all summer - tempting, but ...... nahhhhh

Come on Dave.............you'd be stylin' in that Buford! The '39 Buick front end is one of my all time favorites.

Fitz, nice ride, I'm not usually too keen on mordors, but in that style it works.

The price is 'right' Bob. He's asking $3700 plus it is in fairly decent shape.
Nahhhh. That would mean belly button or nailhead power and I'm not up for that in my dotage.
I'll watch Fitz do his instead as long as he posts more
