After a failed attempt to build some type of Frankenstein Corvette they settle on a much more exciting one. The guys cut, and I mean literally cut a 1956 Buick Century out of some crazy brush and proceed to haul it back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC1IdPylqngGiuHFLJqHbG_g\">Finnegan&#8217;s Garage<\/a>. There they begin cutting everything out, off, and under the body so they can fit it over a lengthened 1973 C3 Corvette chassis. Although the video ends with a lot of work left to do I think this could turn out to be one of their best projects. Any takers on what they should call it?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pOhl6oVpEes\" frameborder=\"0\"
