New Buick update.....

[Abomb]

I've put close to 1000 miles on it since getting it home in June.

Since I can't leave well enough alone, I've also nosed and decked it,
and shaved the fender mount mirror and antenna.....and lost the
hubcaps for some trim rings, and raised the rear an inch and a half
or so, to give it a little more hotrod, a little less custom look....

Before...

After...

 

[Abomb]

A little more striping too...

I've made up my mind that I'm going to go ahead and paint it this winter,
the "patina" is kinda cool, but it's just not for me....It'll probably end up with a scalloped suede green with a shiny metalflaked and pearl white roof

Yep, looks tougher Abomb. More hotrod and less custom like you say. The new paint job idea sounds sweet.

Coming along nicely, Abomb. Never much of a custom look guy. I like the more hotrod stance . You idea for paint sounds good.

Can you get a close up pic of the wheels they look pretty unique.

They're the factory buick wheels, 5 on 5" bolt pattern. I just added some cheapo trim rings. They are pretty cool looking though, I'll try and get a picture up later....

One nice Buick ya got there. The new paint scheme sounds cool.

I think it looks tough just the way it is.

Nice...
