Berl79 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi, have been a lurker for a while and decided to finally post. This is my first Buick, a 1955 Roadmaster 2 door hardtop, and will be the first car that I attempt to do a full restoration on. I am currently a full time college student so progress will be slow but I am still excited to start working on it! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you have a nice solid starting point. You should consider starting a thread on your car under the "Me and My Buick" section: https://forums.aaca.org/forum/58-me-and-my-buick/ Oh, and you can never post too many pictures of your car! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Welcome, and a very cool car! Don't dive in too deep. Get her mechanically sound so you can enjoy her as she sits. Start collecting parts you need. Take some auto-body, paint and welding classes, get to know the locals in this great hobby. Do some sections of body, and try not to disable the car for a long time - which leads to frustration and an abandoned project. Have you joined the Buick Club? There should be some local chapter in your area. This site has a LOT of 55 guys willing to help. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thats a great car! 2x on @Fr. BuickBuicks post. More fun to drive while doing small prokects for constant improvement. Been doing that to my 56 for 48 years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
