1955 Buick Special turbo LS first drive in 54 years! Did my TH400 survive sitting over 20 years?

Great job, really enjoyed watching this build. Congrats on a “beauty”

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Thanks, she’s Special lol

[@jakelords24]

Awesome build. Glad to see it driving!

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Thanks, as soon as the weather improves I will get some tuning in and a drive video

[@tomharmon9663]

So awesome im heading to the garage. I am so pumped.

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Thank you! Go get it done, one small project at a time.

[@asotelo2715]

Congratulations sir! It was so awesome to see it drive down the road! I think it’s going to inspire a few of us to keep going on our projects. Haha

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Thanks! I was so concerned about the trans I didn’t even notice that it drove nice even with no alignment, and forgot to look at the gauges lol.

[@asotelo2715]

@@rust_hoarder_garage 😂 i can’t blame you! You’ll have to give us an update on how it rides and handles. How you did the jaguar ifs and truck rear setup looks super interesting. I wish i had a friend with your skills, it would be awesome to learn and hang!

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

@@asotelo2715 I will definitely put up a driving video once the tuning is done, have to after all this build time.

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Not done yet, more driving videos once tuning is done. Thanks for watching!

[@larry-om9tg]

I like it.

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Thanks!

[@thiaguinhooitodois2211]

Awesome job. I’m curious, what is your work background? Mechanic, engineer?

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

Thank you! My job covers both fields, best of both worlds.

[@tomharmon9663]

Been watching your videos and i dont have any other way to get ahold of you. Can you make a video about different ways to run the alternators in the swaps. Just ordered a 4 wire because my alternator was the 2 wire type. There is so much confusion how to get the alternators running right with the 2 wire vs 4 wire stuff.

[@rust_hoarder_garage]

All of the alternators I have used so far are 4 wire, but only 2 wires are used. The later gen 3 two wire alternators I believe used PWM control for output, so more work is needed to run them. It is doable I just have not had to yet, it is easier to use the 4 wire alternator.

I call my 55 Chevy 210 a 2 door post, sedan just infers boring to me 👍
