It was nice that Tommy took the time to discuss on this board the reasoning behind the direction of the build. :TU: I guess he couldnt take the keyboard beatings anymore LMAO!
I've been watching the Buick build episodes too. I'm liking the premise of this build. Since my first engine rebuild was a low buck '72 455 in my Centurion. Can't wait to see the rest of the project unfold and thanks Tommy for chiming in.
i just watched it today, what a stinker. they devoted the whole show on modifying the bumpers and changing the door handles.ou:
True ! But i do admire their skills. Think about how hard some of that cutting and rewelding COULD be? OY !!
The front does look a lot cleaner. But I want to see the rear end complete before I "judge". So far it's looking LeMans or Impala - making it look less Buick.
Im with you Joe The front cleaned up really well. I was amazed the difference it made. Love it. great idea on the door handles, but I would have went with a painted handle that was similar to the original, to make the change more subttle, The round shape of the flush ones used were a bit too much for me. I think the rear is gonna look very cool too if they come up with some lenses that dont have a home made look, but I have faith in them. I just wish the show could be all Buick build stuff and 3 hrs / day! LOL Im very anxious for the next show! Keep us posted Tommy!
I fell in love with the re-worked front bumper :TU:....now I have to find someone that can do the same to mine.
Buick power is the only way to power a Buick!!! Tommy, did you get the email I sent to you on the Powerblock web site? The offer is real and it is good. No strings attached. Let me hear from you................
what are we working on again? lol.... we just rolled the buick out of the paint booth. it looks awesome... yall want to see?
