FIRST DRIVE in the 1960 Buick!!

In this video, I completed a lot of projects that culminated in the first drive of the 1960 Buick Le Sabre. This progress occurred over multiple weeks around the install of the Airlift 3P Stage 3 59-60 Buick kit by @twistedimages405. As noted in the video, the Buick runs the fuel line through the frame and this was a no go for me, so I ran new fuel lines after having the fuel tank refurbished. ...

hello m8 have you done something to the wiring now? I’m on about to putt the engine back after full rebuild as it was full of carbon so i decided to rebuild it all and also massive mess with wires there because was running on LPG 🤮and it was done by lunatic’s ! I’m not sure what can i remove from the harness which go to the inside to the ecu can i remove all? thanks
@@milanko33 you can delete all of the wires pertaining to the factory engine management! Only things you will need are the oil pressure, water temperature, and ignition signal for the distributor!

Good tip on the belt sander. I only use 3m 60 grit Any lower grit and they blow up to fast

I'd do a custom dash, shift knob & steering wheel out of the cedar

@BestDamnShopAround I here ya, it took a couple trys to make mine, it's not perfect but it works
Love your critical thinking skills. Have a 60 Invicta here that is completed but always needing maintenance. You have me thinking of alternative ways to fix and repair.
Thank you! Love to hear from other Buick enthusiast!

Did you guys ever finish this
Not yet, this project belongs to my buddy Andrew. I've been pushing him to let us finish it up, it's way too cool to sit around!
@ I agree that sucks curious to see that Miata work under that truck though
This looks like it'll be a cool project for sure! 😎 My thoughts for topper/no topper is a lumber rack, ittl add stiffness and help with the old shop or work truck image that would be funny to see autocrossing around
@@namelessjoe11 that's a cool idea!
Can't wait to see how this comes together!!!
@@blackbuttecruizr thank you! I'm excited!
Use the cedar as interior trim pieces like how they make forged carbon or have it CNC machined into pieces 🤷🏽♂️

@@kevinsukdolak5007 thank you!
You dont have to cut the bed out you can overlay the wood
@@kevinsukdolak5007 i would worry the overlay would trap moisture in between the wood and the metal causing it to rust even faster.
This build is gonna be rad ! Are you gonna keep the color? Why does the color fit that little truck so well. Maybe add some flake to it 😁
Yes sir, it's going to stay yellow and patina! Yellow is my least favorite color but it works so well on this one!
@BestDamnShopAround yeah I'm not big on yellow unless it's lighter like butternut, but keeping this one patina is the right call. I think it's gonna look awesome , I can't wait.
The Koreyjoe channel did this with a 1953 Chevy truck. But your cab will probably fit better.

That’s the one I voted for , I know you’re going to make it interesting and cool!

Did the dually rear end bolt right up? Or did you have to modify? I want to do the same thing
@@joeywhite69 I'm 99% sure it would bolt up in a standard configuration, but on this particular truck we flip the rear end on top of the axle to lower it.
An f100 for 300-800 😂
@@terrymorris9194 yessir! Bought three last year for less than 1k!
Definitely had to subscribe to some local boys
@@JBPalmer thank you!
Dude this is sick! I agree with you. The K5's I build are beautiful and would be a shame to ever drudge them through the mud. I am not sure about lowering it but definitely want it to ride smooth down the road and handle better. Question, how did you make sure the geometry of the front was correct when making this swap? Also, any updates on you driving it? Would be cool to get an updated video showing the finished product and your thoughts on ride and or any changes or adjustments you needed to make?
@@roadrageracing1449 thanks for tuning in! Ask for geometry of the suspension it is all self-contained within the two-wheel drive crossmember so nothing changed there, as for the steering I measured the mounting height of the pitman arm and steering box to ensure they are the same distances as they would be on a two-wheel drive. I have driven it around a little bit without any problems, but is not truly finished yet. Maybe in the next couple months it would be done and I will be sure to do a wrap up video!
the DMV cries at the sight of this vehicle
@@Masterchief0521 no problem here in Georgia!
Man, TBI is such a good platform. You can get them for practically free from the junkyard, wiring harness and all. They work so well, especially on rock crawlers. Not for high power applications, but so much better than snipers or a carb. They really are so dang good, this swap is baffling. I have a small block 400 with an edelbrock manifold and a factory tbi adapter to a 454 TBI. It makes easy 325 horses and runs awesome. Primitive yes, but not as Primitive as a carb! TBI is so darn good, it really is.
@@anthonypaules7893 maybe its just me, I don't understand them as well as a carb! when they're working correctly I agree they are nice but diagnostics leave a lot to be desired.
My "93 C3500 7.4 TBI setup nearly led me to a nervous breakdown. It is TOTALLY misengineered compared to port injection and has caused me no end of frustration. The pcm just does whatever it feels and is just evil. Runs lean and doesn't retard the timing when hot for start-up. Just a POS !
@danb.3397 I've neve actually owned a TBI vehicle, I just pull them out of junkyard trucks and retrofit them onto small block chevy engines. As many problems as I hear about them having, it makes me think it could be the vehicle wiring? I always make a new harness for them, I just cut the plug ends off and reuse them. I also trick the ecm to think it is in park, doesn't seem to effect the power at all, but it gets rid of the speed sensor. They have always worked perfectly and been absolutely bulletproof in rock buggies. Like a 100 dollar sniper for under 350 horsepower engines, but more reliable. Oh well, more for me I guess!
@danb.3397 I've had the same issues!
@anthonypaules7893 you could be on to something, old wiring can cause headaches!
Just found the site. Had to watch the F 100 series. Badass truck. My 1st truck was a 1960 fridge. Loved that truck. Keep up the good work.

I just found your channel and love it. I was wondering, for your 87-91 rear tank, how ls does it hang being that is 31 gallons and your k5 is so low, Great content.
