Hey there. I like using new technology to expand my knowledge and add value, hive is an extension of that same mentality I have towards some of my other works. A few years ago I joined a classic car club in southern Alberta. In a city the size of mine you drive often, and I wanted to add to the classic culture of saving old cars and enjoying them along with driving them.
I picked up this abandoned 1946 Buick Roadmaster and decided I would take it on and restomod it. Taking a 2005 hemi chrysler 300c as a donor, to bring the classic body modern performance.
I designed a new hood ornament and chopped the top, as well filled in the trim shaving it smooth.
Marrying the two together was the next step, split free with two hoists I lowered it and completed the welding.
Got the body work closer and in primer. Still a ways to go to get the interior trimmed and the paint on it. But I am excited to share in my journey on the car as I am excited to receive and learn from this community.
Hi Richard, welcome to Hive! This windscreen is so tiny, interior must be quite dark, isn't it?
It looks like a lot of work put in it. What else needs to be done yet?
I love the look of the 50's led sleads, and actually visuals out of the window are fine, you just don't get to see the sky as much haha. The interior lights up quite well, but there are auxillary lights to help as well. The interior upholstry is left, some little wiring clean up, and then the final body work and paint. I expect it to be 100% done come May.
