Default 66 Buick Special

As if having my 70 camaro wasn’t enough, now I’m starting on my 66 Buick Special. Got all my control arms and springs done a week or so ago and slapped some 18” wheels on it. 18x9 in the rear with 275/40’s and 18x8 fronts with 255/40’s. This was a test fit for the wheel/tire combo just to get it off the jacks for a few days. Still trying to decide on sway bar choices and hoping to find a used set from someone who is updating. I kinda like this old beater!

Cool car, what is the plan for it?

You're like me and either need less / smaller vehicles or more garage space. I vote more garage space.

Plan right now is to get the suspension right, fix some electrical gremlins and eventually a 5.3/4L60. I’ve got a single 76mm Garrett sitting on a shelf here too.............ya never know where it’ll end up! I just want to drive the Buick though. Quite honestly I started building it for my wife to drive!

I wish. Between this and my 70 camaro I’m buried right now but moving forward on both. If the 69 Dart will sell it will relieve some stress too.
