Very nice! Clean and simple, for the most part. I like it.

Alright guys,

It's been about 9 weeks since the last update on this car, and we apologize!

Things have been quite busy at our shop, and there will be a few more build threads popping up from us soon.

As for the Buick:


Custom stainless steel exhaust almost complete-

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7402/1...fce87f54ef.jpg

Custom Rick's stainless tank, narrowed to accommodate the chassis rails. This features a 600hp-capable in-tank pump.

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2860/1...693290a454.jpg

Monkey-ing around in the quarter panel. Not much room with 13.5" brakes.

http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5549/1...c1021647b9.jpg

On the ground and ready for engine tuning!

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3729/1...6c52e184d2.jpg

The back end, using custom GS N25 style stainless exhaust tips

http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5547/1...82bb1b5e53.jpg

Custom front ABS rings & sensor bracket

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2890/1...04277440cd.jpg

Custom Autosound stereo installed, along with the Vintage Air panel in the background

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3742/1...c40ed26d3e.jpg


The car is done- once I have better exterior shots I will try and post them!
