    I would love to see some pics of the fiberglass bumpers on the cars. I have been against because I love the original chrome bumpers but fiberglass is so much lighter that I could live with it. I just would like to see some finished products and get some ideas.



    Also how many of you are running the fiberglass fenders on the street? Any issues?


    Thank You,
    Bart

    sbbuick My driving scares people!

    I believe that they look like stockers except that they are painted instead of being chrome. But hey, I'd like to see some pics, too!

    Thank you, it looks good.

    Are you also running the glass fenders? What other parts are you running to lighten the car?

    Lastly do you have any pics of your 70 post? My car is a 72 Post and I would have used a HT but I was able to buy back my old car and it holds centimental value. If you don't have any pics could you tell me of any of the members that own 70-72 Post cars. That way if I run into an issue that know who to turn to for answers.

    Sorry for the barrage of questions and thank you for any assistance.


    Thank You,

    Bart,
    That car isn't mine just what mine will look like sometime.My post car isn't even started yet(still working on 2 oters yet).I am planning on tubbing it out and using all the glass stuff I can find to lighten it up.I even went as far as to widen 2 of my stock Buick ralleys to 15x14 to make it look like all Buick.Iam not sure who's blue one is anymore but this is Rick Martinez' car.

    Here are two of my 70. The front is newer and not painted, the rear is about 30 years old. Thanks Bill.

    Here are some on the 70. They are very light weight and flimsy. Great for a race car, and ok for a street car if you weren't worried about protection at all. These front fenders are fiberglass also.
