    How did he acomplish this "mod"? . . . . (Re: 1965 special wagon custom in portland)

    Dear NorCal.Buicknut and V-8 Buick longroof fans, . . . .

    As a owner of a much loved 1965 Buick Special that has been only lovingly upgraded - not molested. . . . I do find this one rather offensive :af:, but . . . .

    I wonder how this fellow got the speedometer to go from black with with light colored lettering to the reverse?

    Here is the relevant photo:

    It isn't that I would change my speedometer in this way, but I would be interested understanding the technique used to achieve this "mod" . . . .

    Cheers, Edouard :beer

    The problem with modifying a car, you may be the only person who really likes it, or wants it.

    I'll take a wild guess and say he used paint.:grin:

    Neat car, but I don't like the interior. Horrible steering wheel, and door panels look like they belong in a Pontiac Aztec! The wood dash treatment just doesn't fit the rest of the interior. Do they want classy wood trim, or a ultra-modern funky look? Mixing it doesn't work for me.

    Someone put a lot of work into that ride, and did a nice job except (IMO) their choice of interior components. Bet it's a great driving car tho.

    I'd take take wood grain crap off , different steering wheel , put back on moldings and a few odds and ends .
    I think would be a cool daily driver but if you look close at headlights alignment , rear bumper looks gold like not plated correctly
    few other thinks like he said roof looks ruff like needs to be color sanded . I'd want someone to look in person before spending that kind of coin .

    Like it or not , you ain't building that car for that money . I could live with it . I would want to know more before I bought a plane ticket . Damn I wish I hadn't seen this . :spank:
