Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super

OOPS, spoke too soon. I forgot I had already measured the width of the frame and need to trim out about 1.5 inches. I knew there would be something to make it a little tough. No worries though, I've already got a plan to slice out the extra width and weld it back up. Now I just need the Buick lump out of the way. I had left it in to keep weight on the front end while I figured out ride height, although you can tell by the pictures I had to add a good bit more to help me "see" the ride height I wanted in the final production.

I was wondering what all that stuff was there for. I was literally thinking, what's with all the dumbbells? Glad you explained it.

Sounds like things are working out well. Glad to hear it. Can't wait for the next update.
