The beginning....

 Well, it's going to be a full frame off restoration so first things first. Complete disassembly of the car. Might as well start at the front at work my way back.

Lower Valance is attached with 9/16" bolts at each turn signal housing and 1/2" bolts at each tooth

Beginning the restoration

I have a 1950 Buick Roamaster Riviera Sedan Model 72R that I am going to begin restoring. Pictures and video will accompany the documentation of this restoration. My goal is to be done and take the car to display (cars not to be judged) at Pebble Beach on Aug. 13, 2013.
