CALLING ALL PIRATES !!!!!! pirate.gif

I NOW HAVE A NEW PROJECT, IT,S A 54 BUICK, AND NEEDS A LOT OF WORK, INCLUDING TAKING THE BODY OFF THE CHASSIS AND MOUNTING IT ON A DIFFERANT ONE ! I WOULD PROBABLY NEED AT LEAST 6 PEOPLE TO DO THIS ( IT,S VERY HEAVY ) AND ALSO SOME ADVICE ON WHAT AND HOW TO DO IT ALL, THE BODYWORK/ WELDING AND PAINT IS NO PROBLEM, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS, SO IF ANYONE COULD LET ME KNOW IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE AND WILLING TO HELP, EVENINGS OR WEEKENDS OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IT WOULD BE GREAT, TEA,S COFFEE,S ETC ARE TAKEN CARE OF, CHEERS STEVE.

I took the body off Rover 14 more years ago than I care to remember.I used a crane but welded bars across it inside to stop it distorting.A mate took the body off an Austin 16 without and it distorted enough that the door shuts were never right afterwards.

Why a chassis change Steve? a full on resto I could understand, it would be a major job adapting a different chassis and finding something close in dimentions will be tricky, what gains are you hoping to achieve? Registration and insurance issues will be fun too. Good luck with it either way, cool car, luvit.
