Re: I got another one, this time it's a Buick !!
Well Dave, It's not a bow tie, but it's a step in the right direction ................ It's best to start with baby steps, rather than shockin' yer' system by goin' directly to a Chebbie. He He HeOriginally posted by Dave Severson
It's all Pro Z's fault, he said he was building one for his significant other, I had this deal pending, and I decided to go for it.
The Riv' would make a kewl cruiser for sure.

Well, Dave, It's not a Good ol Blue Oval. But at least it's a Buford and not a (bite my tongue) Chebbie.

what ever you do don't replace the engine with anything other than an nailhead, If you didn't already know your tranny is probably a sp400 (not th400) which is a switch pitch transmission. When you nail it the torque converter switches it's stall higher then back down. You might want to join V8Buick ,they have alot of information to be had there. Also thoght you might like this
never liked pink but there's something about this one

Shaved, lowered (maybe air), no vinyl top, frenched this 'n that, wheels and tires (but something simple, not rubberbands), NO whitewalls, and for heaven's sake, keep the nailhead.

Just had another thought while looking at some of the pictures posted. How about fill in the existing tail lights and get some of the vertical lights from a late model Cadillac and French them into the rear corners.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

the back end
The Caddy tailights could be just the ticket. Thinking the bumpers will need to be cut down some, maybe lake pipes, or some big megs out the rear valence???? Who knows, it's gonna be fun, anyhow.Last edited by Dave Severson; 10-18-2004 at 07:40 PM.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
