In the beginning

This page has pictures of my 1937 Buick Special.

I finished the rockers while the body was still mounted on the rotisserie.

First time the chassis has been out of my shop in about 2 years.

Using the lift to pick the body off of the rotisserie.

The body has landed. It took a little more work than the pictures indicated. I did all this by myself with the help of my forklift truck, the two post lift and a floor jack. When I lowered the body the arms of the lift sat on the frame. I had to lift the front of the body with the forklift with a strap, raise the front and pull the lift arms out. I used the floor jack to raise the back of the body and then pull the back arm out. They still did not clear the body so I removed the arms. It's finally starting to look like a car.
