Another Buick Project ('58 Special)

[TiredIronGRB]

Picked this up the other day, I have all the chrome to go on it but want to put some paint on it first.

You gotta get rid of those door handles, 1958 was a good year, the year I was born. LOL

looks like a great place to start a project.......those rear doors are so far back that i saw a 2 door when i first glanced....cool old car - keep us posted..

Those cars are really cool. I think it'll look great painted with the trim on it.

I'm think a two-tone (above/below trim line) maybe satin finish black on top and white below. I also have a set of wide whites for it and some '62 Caddy caps.

Oh, and of course lower it a few inches.

Nice car man! I love those old Buicks.

I like TiredIron's idea 2-tone mint green and cream! Shaved and lowered in the back.

Nice!

If you're thinking two-tone, how 'bout putting the same colour below the trim AND on the roof?

Nose it to get rid of that GREAT BIG hood badge and then drop the bow a couple inches closer to the earth than the stern (yes, RAKE IT!!).

Throw on some chrome reverse with bullet centre caps wrapped in fat radials with pinstripe whitewalls ( I don't believe I just suggested whitewalls)...

Cool old earthbound spaceship. Whatever you do, enjoy the heck out of it!
