My winter project ....

[RobG]

Some of you guys probably know this car. I bought it from a member here (turbowannabe) over a year ago and I believe he bought it from FatRide. I have been working on it little by little since then. This past Tuesday though I made some major progress by finally getting the body off the frame. I'll post pics as progress is made if you guys want to see them.

Here's a couple for now...

Looks like a lot of work man! Good job, I wish I had a big shop like that to work in!!! My 2 car garage with the two cars in it just doesnt quite cut it!!!!

That was one of my old cars. I got it from Band-Aid . Looks good, what are your plans for her? Here are a few old pics of her for you. I have more if you want any of them. It's nice to see it stay in the Buick family.

Just a few things on the list,

fresh motor

fresh paint

boxed frame...



It'll be done in a pro-touring style though with enough motor to run 10's. Between work and house projects I promised my wife I hope it'll be road worthy by 2009.

Hey Nick I think you left your purple panty on the ground next to the car. Hmmm oh wait, they are mine

Rob, I think you will do a great job. You seem very determined and dedicated. Let us know if we can help.

Very Nice!!! Gary Oswald moved to your area.He used to own a shop in
Elkgrove Village called Street Performance. I don't know if he is wrenching
anymore,He did my motor 3yrs. ago and still no problems. Just a thought
it looks like your doing some very nice work!

 

[BandAid]

What did you use to get the intercooler to look so damn good,,,paint of powdercoat....if paint whats it called.. thansk Dennis

The frame is back from the sandblaster so I'll start welding stuff up this week hopefully. These things have an ungodly amount of slag from the factory so I'll have a full day just to clean that crap up.

Forrest,
I'll ask some of the locals if Gary is doing any motor work or not. I'm still shopping that part of the project around.

Dennis,
I smoothed out the end tanks and had them powdercoated THEN painted. It's House of Kolor paints "platinum" pearl, it's part of the color scheme for the hooptie. The core is Eastwood radiator satin black
