Join the Buick Club of America, I know I saw an ad for the conversion in one of the magazines. I didn't organize the parts so can't help you there. Unfortunately she still gets hot in traffic so I will need an auxiliary fan, the car has factory air but until I can keep her cool I'm not going to deal with the A/C!
Recored radiator with aluminum crossflow core and original (A/C spec) outside bits. Radiator looks stock but its not. Also dual master cylinder/front disc brake set up was installed. Still not where I want it but way better than the single master cyl/drums all around. Congratulations on your rebuild - the nailhead engine is the soul of these old Buicks.
what a pretty car, I wish I had one just like it. How much you think a fully restored 57 Buick goes for now a days?
