Sweet car I got real close to pulling the trigger on a 65 Buick convertible when I was in my 64-67 Abody search. Ended up with the 66 Olds instead.
Looking forward to your progress.

Nope, those are Smoked Titanium mockups from another project at J-Rod's and I'm running brushed ones so you still have the only black ones!

I've been watching your Cutlass, Gearhead! I love these A-Bodies, especially the BOP ones!

I'm surprised you went with that wheel manufacturer.

Odd - I was thinking the same thing

--- so if you get a ticket in Columbus and I'm in the passenger seat does that mean i have split the ticket with you.

Thanks Guys! HAHA, Mark and Marty! You guys are cards!

I wouldn't say I'm "dechroming it", John. It's just the first rendering and the paint is so nice, that I'm not doing anything but claying it and polishing it for at least the next couple years as far as the outside but the mechanicals are going to change in stages starting right away.

The Nailhead is yours, BooneDog! Just as soon as I put a new motor in it but it likely won't happen until the end of the year at the soonest.

Yep! Picking a favorite is like picking your favorite child but that's definitely the wheel for this car!
Check out Jared and Brett adding ballast to the door sill to simulate how it might look before it got lowered complete with the Whiplash stuffed in the front wheelwell.

See all the Full Throttle cans stacked in the upper right corner? That's how Jared and his crew crank out the work! He just delivered a 52 Chevy and has an opening in the shop and a full case of Full Throttle!
