It just blows my mind, how I envision ideas of how I'd like my own cars to turn out, then someone else has very similar ideas, as we've never discussed them, or even met before. This is very close to my concept of how my '70 GS will be finished, with similarities, but not exactly.

I've always loved the Stage 2 hoodscoop, and it accents your car, well!
Love the color combination!
Picture Carbon Fiber GSX stripes on your car, and that's how I hope mine to look similar.

Dash design is similar to my idea, too, with the GPS in the center, although, I plan to eliminate the original factory gauges and rework the dashpad, and replace them with modernized GPS speedometer/tach/monitor gauges, in a custom recessed bezel.

Keep us updated, for even more inspiration! LOVE IT, so far!!!

How did you do the GSX stripes, by the way? Did you use one of the stencil kits; which one?

I've done so many GSX paint schemes for my cars as well as customers, I can almost do them in my sleep. I have specific measurements from GM blueprints for key points, and then finish by eye.

The Stage 2 scoop is more orientated toward drag cars, but does fit the look of this car well, and I had it from another project.

I went with the Stage 2 hood, because i had it from another project. I will eventually build a custom hood for it.

Couple pics slammed. Just finished exhaust. Need to set ride height, alignment, and some odds and ends.

Love the Buick and glad to see another P/T buick out thier. what are you running for suspension?
if you dont mind me asking did you powdercoat or basecoat satin clear the bumpers and moldings. I am at the point with me where i will either powdercoat the bumpers or paint them.
Great looking car and good luck with the build

ridetech full air suspension with Ride Pro E3. I had the bumpers stripped and straightened at the bumper shop, then welded/smoothed in my bumper bolts, body worked smooth, and refinished with Keystone Hot Rod Satin Black single stage urethane.

Looks sweet! I'm sure your headers will thank you when you raise it a little...lol

Mr. Vengeance, would this qualify for Street Fighter status?!

What seats did you choose, and how do you like them?

[sokoloka]

Wow. Looks awesome!

Summit Scat Seats, haven't had a lot of seat time yet, but installed very easily, and good bang for the buck
