So a lot of you know about the '58 Buick I bought from Braunburger after Prime Steel. Here are some pics:

Sweet, man!  That sure is a neat looking rear bumper.  It would a take a month of labor just to take all the chrome and stainless off that sled!  Good find.

90% sure this things getting cut up. I kinda hate to do it, but I've done some looking and they are just NOT bringing any kind of money as a complete car. It does have some real nice parts, tho.
No kidding about the month of labor. There's 23 pieces of trim on EACH quarter panel.

Yup--I once heard it said,  "The 1958 Buick has more chrome than a Libian General at a military parade."

They are enclosed drive also.  The grilles were used for customs, as well as a lot of trim.  I think they had vacuum power windows, too.

Nice score.

So, I had an intervention at Eyeballs on Saturday. There were many threats to my well being if I cut this thing up. So I guess its getting built sometime for a nice cruiser. Figures. I got nothing else to do. :roll:

That's one big mother to bring back to life.  (Means $).  Save that kind of work and money for the car of your dreams or something close.  It'll come.

I'd part it out and invest it in the Ranch Wagon.  :)

I don't think I would part it out. If you can't afford to build it or lack the intrest to build it i would sell it as a unit.
