Welcome from Eastern NC. Good looking rig, they are rare around here.

Howdy!

So I'm guessing you've got a Buick Special with a 3.8 as well?

I do. It's a '62 Special Station Wagon. Custom 4-link on a narrowed Ford 8.8 rear from an explorer, Mustang 2 IFS from a company called "Welder Series". Pretty cool hotrod stuff on their site. Right now it's mocked up with a turbo 3.8l v6 and 200-4R transmission from an 86/87 Turbo Regal/GN. But I think I'm scrapping that idea and going 401 nailhead instead. So far all the work including narrowing the axle and building the IFS has been done my me. I'm learning as I go along. I'm just a hobbyist. The barn in the pictures is new to me, so hopefully I can get more work done now.

Also in my fleet: 1987 23' Cobalt (full transom and engine rebuild), 1986 19' Citation, Kawasaki 650R, Ford 9N tractor, 80's vintage Massey Ferguson 50H backhoe, and last but not least my daily driven 2019 Ford Fiesta Hatchback with a 5-speed manual.

A any pictures of the Buick? Let me know if you scrape the 3.8 idea, I’ve got an 87 Gn with 64,000 miles on it I could always use a spare 3.8
