Thread: 1956 Buick Century Project

    In my mind keeping a Buick ALL Buick would be my goal. If you take an open drive '61-65 Full size car or a '63-'70 riv. & put both your car & the donor car on a lift next to each other you will be surprised on how similar they are/appear. If you use the COMPLETE open drive rear use the control arms & ALL the brackets from the donor car to mount to yours. Now one of the things you WILL have is the size brakes that were made for Buick's as well as MANY other things.
    Give it a look. I don't like those long trailing arms as they get in the way of MANY things including exhaust.

    I have a lot of respect for the owners that go to great length to keep their cars original or at least correct, but you might be on the wrong thread of this website advocating for that haha
