    Here is another angle........

    Rear tires are B.F.Goodrich 275-60-15s, fit nice, lots of tire !!!!!!!
    Rear light & headlight covers are from Dennis Kirban. I don,t think tail light covers are legal anymore.

    WS6 IS running! After all the H _ _ _ with it, it was the ignition switch relay!!! Figure! Had it at the August LSPBC show and she was looking good! :Brow: Once I got the WS6 running, the Super Coupe decided to dump a load in the driveway. It's been sitting there since June. Haven't even looked at it. Kind of disgusted with the new cars. Get one running, another breaks. The old stand-bys (Buicks) are always there and ready.

    Old 'vert is doing pretty good. She has something wrong with the right axle. Drum is rubbing backing plate a little. Uuuggg! Maybe too many Big Buick Burn-outs!!! It was like that at the Buick Bash. Just got to find time to look at it. :Dou: Had a couple of freeze plug issues. Nothing big, just kind of embarrassing!!! :laugh: Don't remember if you've seen it since the new top and other little things I've done to it. Was going to take it to the LSPBC show last weekend, but I ended up a little sick, so didn't go. Otherwise, me and the 'vert are very happy together!!! :TU:

    Dee

    P.S. Did you get to see Mr. Travolta when he was in town????

    I like the rims have seen them on many GN,s I have a set of polished center lines 15" that I had on my 72 GSX are the bolt pattern the same on the GN,s if they are can use them to see how it will look they are 15x8.5 back and 15x5.5 front back space on back I think is the same as yours, thanks Dan.

    RATROASTER BPG#1291, GS-CA#2265

    Here's a pic of my T-type Limited. I looked a 2 years to find a Limited. I bought this car from a friend who bought it in California two months before he sold it to me. 140K miles and the car is still rock solid and runs 14.0. It is pretty much bone stock.

    What really kills me was my bone stock turbo was still able to put away a Lotus!! :TU:

    Thanks Dan, I still have original paint in most places on the car, and I still have the original springs on the car. I had some rearend sag on the car, when I bought it. I had to get the rearend up higher to fit my 275/60/15 BFG DOT drag radials underneath. I went with an old school solution. Don Eggers hooked me up with a set of 1 1/2" rear spring perches from an old 68' GS 400. I'm not sure if you can still get them, but I imagine someone would still make them. As for rims, I love swapping so I've got a bunch of varieties. I currently have American Racing Outlaw II's on the car (I'll have to get a pic) but I'll throw my original T-type rims on or even a set of the Regal 14 inchers. That's if I hurting for tires with good tread. I would love to get my hands on a set of Weld's..........any model of them. -DK
