      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I like it. I like it a lot! I'd suggest getting some custom lifter covers that say "Buick" instead of "Corvette" though. Being a Buick fan I'd have voted for an EFI converted 455, but hey, the LS2 is nice as well.

      Some custom covers are in the works!

      Nice car! I've always had a sweet spot for Buicks.

      I have a 1965 Buick Special 4-door. I'd love to fix it up. In fact, I showed a pic of your car to my dad, who owned it before me, and he thought it would be a good idea to do the same thing with a 6 speed in it. Heh... And all I wanted to do is show him the wheels. I'd LOVE to fix up the Buick. It's a great cruiser, and has a ginormous trunk. I need more money....

      I personally would love to do up a 66-67 Skylark hardtop with a 455, 5 or 6sp, and the usual suspension/brake/wheel treatment. A guy on V8Buick.com had a beautiful GS riding on 17's, all black, and fast! All I can say is that was one of the most beautiful cars I've seen.

      I wasn't sure about those wheels at first. They're the 1st set in the U.S. so I didn't have anyway to see them on a car first. They turned out pretty nice though.

      I haven't had a chance to put the W2W motor the test yet but later this fall we'll take er to the local drag strip and put it through the paces.

      Thanks to everyone for checking it out!
