    I like the idea of converting it to a 2-door. A couple of ways to do that. Move the B pillar back and find a couple of doors from a 2-door donor car or lengthen the existing doors with material from the back doors. You know both ways. Fun and semi-easy project for you both. It will improve the look of the car...especially for a guy Austin's age who will drive it to school.

    Man, that was good to hear the old girl fire up, Brent. As you say, she's one step (well, a couple now) closer to being able to move under her own power again......and I bet Austin can't wait! Speaking of the young fella - he's certainly getting more confident with the tools and around the workshop in general.....and that's great to see. It's a lot to learn with a steep curve on the learning process, but if he can walk (drive?) away with the rudiments and a basic know-how of what makes the car do what it does and keeps up the interest factor, he'll have a lifetime hobby that will keep him entertained until he's older than either you or me.....and it will always be something that he can enjoy the fruits of all his hard work as well. Keep going, Austin. You're doing fine, buddy - no matter what you may think of your efforts right now. Practice and experience will give you the speed and knowledge that Brent has....and I'm sure the "old fella" would be happy to offer advice if you are ever stuck. Just relax, go with the flow and never be scared to ask questions or put forward ideas. Brent will be able to tell you if they are possible or explain why they aren't and maybe you can come up with something else together. The Buick will be one mean cruiser when she's finished and that engine sounds strong.....so be glad there's a diff out of a 4x4 going into the beast, buddy! All the best.

    Hi Brent, just a suggestion if I may. I used a bottle like yours for years to squirt gas into the carb. They'll stay running awhile longer if you squirt into the carb's vent tube to fill the fuel bowl. Oh wait, It looks like you already knew that. Lol! Great video with Austin!😎❤👍

I was just like him, not knowing what I was doing, but I can see how I could have been better at anticipating the next step to help the job go smoothly. Kudos to you for passing it on to the younger generation. He may not realize it yet but he's getting a valuable education and will appreciate it as time goes by.

I am hoping ya can do it in Burgundy with a cream white interior. I almost got to buy a fully restored 62 T-Bird a few years ago but the Wife shot that down "it looks like an old mans car". dang.
