Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super

So, just to recap:

Jaguar ended up costing me $200 after selling off items

57 Super has now cost me $2500 since I sold the engine and trans for $1000

57 4 door parts car has cost me $800, and I will probably sell off around $2500 worth of parts that either don't fit my car or are duplicates of what I already have = make $1700

Roadmaster hood and fenders from Darrell cost $300, but he also gave me a box of complete stainless side trim for a 57 model - since he has a 58. That box of trim is easily worth $300 on eBay. Zero cost.

All said and done I should have a 57 Buick Super 2 door roller with Jag front and rear suspension for about $1000.

Nice!
