New to g body

[Rus]

my name is Russ and I just bought a1978 buick century 4dr. Plan is to make it a 455 sleeper. It will need a new frame although the body appears rust free.

Cool project. Welcome to the site from Houston.

Welcome aboard Rus.
That should be an interesting project. How bad is the frame? Is the rust concentrated more on the rear frame rails?...if so, maybe consider replacing the rails. The car looks really clean overall.
I think the car would be an excellent candidate for a sleeper.

Welcome aboard from Louisville. As the other guys said, that is a great candidate for sleeper status! Get a build thread going and share along the way, we all love pics!
