Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super

Well, here we go again.

This time it's a project for/with my middle daughter, Biz. She has chosen a car from the 50's, I'm a little apprehensive. At her first car show, chronicled on our previous build Young Frankenstein, she fell in love with a 56 Bel Air and has talked ever since about us doing her a car. If you know me at all from my first build, its more about the challenge than anything else. After a lot of thoughtful study and consideration we decided we would want to end up with something different than every other guy at the next car show. Buick was known as the "Banker's Hotrod" back in the day and we are going to make sure of that. We'll get into the specifics as we go along, but our overarching theme will be drivability over all else, just like with Young Frankie.

From the pictures you'll see we've got our work cut out for us, but a good part of the fun is the journey itself, especially when it's sharing time with your daughter.
