Here's a '65 Buick (same basic car)... they look downright badass when given some lovin'

This one was shot by Hunkins a few years back. Has a Grand National engine.

Love this body style, can't wait to see what you do with it.

Default New Champion Cooling Systems Radiator...

My first upgrade:

Here is my new aluminum radiator from Champion Cooling Systems. It's a really nice piece. The original Harrison one took a dump and Champion worked with me on this unit. Rick is great to work with and got me this so I could have the car for this weekend. Very nice unit and fit really well. I have to redo the top hold down to fit better but fit in the original lower saddles perfectly. It's good for 750 hp.





Here it is installed...




going to make a new upper bracket for it. The original I had to make fit, and It could be nicer.

Drop that stance, toss on some Forgelines and up the performance bits.. that car really has potential.

Nice score..

As for a name.. hmmm... g-85 although that sounds similar to that other car, it still fits considering what you want to do to it.

Or could play off the Cutlass part.. pirates and swords and such.

In any event, more pics please!
Nice ride. Like Steve said, That car would look even sweeter with a lower stance and I would love to see it with some Forgelines...also, more pics please.

There's a couple spots of bubbling on the lower corners of the doors, the trunk floor has a bad repair, but over all really solid car.

Thanks Tom. I will be posting more. It's been tough to get out and shoot it when I'm shooting other cars to make the money for the parts. LOL. Stay tuned...
