Newbie here just saying Hello. My name is Matt Green. I am 35 y/o and from Saint Louis. As of yesterday i purchased a 1952 Buick Roadmaster Riviera. I haven't even purcicked up the car as of yet. The car needs a ton of work. However even in these tough times i couldn't pass up the price.

I have a ton of questions about these 50'-52' Buicks. I am looking for anyone who can help me with these questions regarding parts, technical assistance and more online resources. Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
I'm working on a '53 Special...the '52 and '53 models were very similar, except for headlights and hood operation. Other than that, virtually the same. I have a shop manual for '52, so if you need any help on anything technical, let me know.
 
Well i got her home today. She is rough and been sitting outside in a farmers field for several, several years. Floors are gone. Body is suprisingly straight and stainless was better than expected. It doesn't run as of right now. I purchased it from a gentleman who's father passed away.

I am open to all assistance and anyone who can direct me in the right direction as far as an eventual "restomod" type or restoration.

Thanks, Matt.
