    New to the Forum buying #216 New Builder intro

    Thanks to all who have already helped me as i have been reading up on things. My name is Bob Slusser I live in Ohio and will be starting a build the end of next month .Purchasing #216 .The 3 link is already installed and the front suspension is started .It is an open wheel Coupe with power windows .The donor car is an 02 Mustang 4.6 5 speed tremec, with an 8.8 ford rear.I assume the wiring ,door fitting, and top fitting are going to be the biggest challenges .I have done a couple frame offs but never tackled anything like this. Just wanted to introduce myself and open to any obvious pointers that this project will need to be overcome Thanks in advance Bob

    I see you are going by "BobbyBuick". Just out of curiosity, are you a fan of old Buicks too?

    Love my '67 Wildcat....

    Love the '65 GS - and great job on the restoration! I bought my 'Cat pretty much done already! I come by my love of old Buicks honestly - I was a Buick dealer in Florida for 20 years and my Dad was a District Manager for Buick Motor Division in the '60s.
